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

if you're going to put that ****ty "bam" sound effect on replays, at least put some effort into the synchronisation

I am worried they are putting for ultra edge replays.

All of Bumrah's 3 sixes in Test cricket have been pull/hook shots. Started with that warm up game in Australia where he got a 50, can't recall who the bowler was there.

The best of the lot was the flat six he belted Sam Curran for in Nottingham.

Rabada isn't the brainiest cricketer

I feel he is somehow more fired up against the Aussies. Why is he so bloody calm against us? I want him to go bonkers, win games with his fiery bowling, get warnings for "gently rubbing shoulders" with the batsmen , etc. Come on KG!

He didn't even celebrate Pant's wicket properly, is it the IPL effect?

Nah his current demerit points effect.

Umpires need to call that last ball a wide! Deliberately bowled far away down leg

 

[OverratedSanity]

Siraj will back away. If thye dont bowl full straight they are stupid

 

[honestbharani]

Is Siraj even gonna bat?

Galaxy brain Vihari not farming the strike

Akshit : "A few similarities to the Lords test here. Bumrah attacked with bouncers, having an confrontation with a fast bowler. Interestingly, India conceded a 27 run lead in both tests and Pujara-Rahane shared a 100 run second innings partnership in both tests. "

Vihari's not connecting with anything atm but he's got the right approach imo.

He's not very confident with the hook so instead of holing out he's trying the uppercut. But on the last ball of the previous over to try and retain strike he walked across and tried to pull it along the ground to fine leg to keep strike.

He missed everything obv which is bad from him but the thinking is there.

He is in a tough spot tbh, has worked hard in the A games and prepared himself to play with the correct technique, and now he has to bat like a T20 hack.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Haha Vihari asked Siraj if he'd play a ball and he refused I think

 

[Daemon]

Why the hell did ngidi bowl that last one full

 

[OverratedSanity]

Surely they should be trying to get Vihari out?

 

[Gnske]

This bowling is like watching a Lemming smash its head on a railroad spike

 

[Gnske]

Yeah just let em run through on the last sure

 

[Test fan]

Lol

 

[OverratedSanity]

That was hilarious. Verreyne you idiot.

 

[Spark]

these tactics are imbecilic
