***Official*** India in South Africa 2021-22

[OverratedSanity]

First time the smiling titan from AoT playing against India in any format right?

 

[centurymaker]

**** me. Rahane can't be that bad. I like Bavuma but he has an awful record. Rahane has played some legit great knocks in tests.

Bavuma is in form, scored 50s.

Rahane isn't in form and has 3 50+ scores in last 30 innings!

 

[Prince EWS]

Quarter rat power from Olivier so far.

 

[TT Boy]

Olivier can bowl short in an hours time. Ngidi or Jansen.

 

[Dendarii]

**** me. Rahane can't be that bad. I like Bavuma but he has an awful record. Rahane has played some legit great knocks in tests.

That's not such an outlandish claim on current form. Bavuma averaged 54 in 2021, while Rahane averaged 21.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Agarwal's cover drive has the bat swing of a straight drive. Such a weird way to play it.

 

[Gnske]

This type of hot trash is what gets Olivier wickets in County, go easy lads.

 

[Daemon]

Speeds massively down today, even for Rabada. Olivier looks cod ordinary.

 

[cnerd123]

First and final warning for dangerous bowing to Olivier already. One more and he'll be out of the attack lol.

Love the stump mic when in full voice for the TV audience to hear.

If it's not too high or borderline they will go easy on him once. It's like getting a second yellow card, you get some unsaid leeway.

 

[Woodster]

An inauspicious start to Olivier’s spell it must be said, lacking a bit of rhythm so well down on pace and threat. Early days of course, slightly surprised he got the new ball mind.

 

[Gnske]

Do you think Olivier knows how to bowl on a pitch that isn't Leeds and covered in Nazi iconography anymore?

 

[Gnske]

It's also really good to see this pitch has been sponsored by Cricketweb's official ethical sponsor Betway PLUS.

Each time you wager you’ll earn Plus Points. You can use these to progress through the tiers to gain exclusive bonuses and offers that you won’t find anywhere else.

One of those balls Olivier bowled held its line like a carrom ball.

 

[centurymaker]

Ishant got covid and ever since then, he hasn't been the same bowler. Pace down as well as stamina and rhythm!

Olivier just recently had covid and his pace and stamina look down as well!

 

[ashley bach]

is Iyer not on this tour?

Great to see Lokesh as captain tbh. Step in the right direction. Also good to see Vihari in place of Kohli and Ashwin still playing.

Good decision live - Ashwin was given out on one of those last Test but reviewed it.
