Whatever it takes!!!
Straight fielder kept moving while bowler was running in?

Siraj was moving

That was when Shardul was bowling and Siraj was the fielder. And all fielders at mid-on and mid-off move in.

I think he stopped Shardul coz Siraj and Elgar were still having words. But he stopped Siraj in his delivery stride for literally no reason. And Siraj was the one with the hamstring injury.

I think this defeat is more disappointing as a pure test match loss than the WTC. I think there we tried much harder and forced NZ to play a level of cricket that was very very high class to have to win the game. Here, even though we were basically a bowler short all game, I think we gave away too many things and that sucks. The 4 or whatever strangles down the legside were unlucky. But the remaining batsmen still played plenty of soft shots to get out. And Bumrah was extremely disappointing all game. Shami was back to his unlucky lengths after the first spell. We were lucky we had Shardul in this form to get us to near parity in first innings. But he himself played a poor shot to get out when batting well. That is the disappointing part of this loss. How much of it was our own mistakes and making.

India tours of SA are never boring though they always end in crushing Indian disappointment. Dhoni spreads the field to boucher,Steyn bops Shami, Elgar screws us, Spark gets content, etc.

I think we should stop counting Bumrah as our bowler in main matches.

He gives up more easily than Afghanistan Army against Taliban in crucial games.

If he was injured then shouldn't been bowling. Also Siraj won't get much sympathy he's always mouthing off and throwing the ball at people.

Indian fans really protective over their seamers now days. Just because they now have a decent attack they want special treatment. How dare a batsman back away half way into his run up when he has a sore hamstring!
They spent most of the week with their feet up and we should all feel sorry for them because they each had to bowl 20 overs an innings.
Well done sa for getting under their skin and bringing the prima donna"s down a peg or two. Shame England couldn't do the same in the summer
