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

[StephenZA]

With Maharaj set to play a bigger role with the ball in this match I don't understand why SA still has Jansen at 7. Mulder for Olivier seems so obvious to me.

I don't understand how Olivier has become this irreplaceable member of the SA attack. If we where talking Nortje fine...

...hoping this gambhirs a 5 wicket haul.

No excuses for India not to win this. Won the toss again for the umpteenth time and got a flat pitch. If they're the best post-Australian team, they have to win with all the advantages that they have. If not....

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dont worry, we dont have Siraj and Rohit, our only consistent batsman. Our excuses are locked and loaded thanks very much.

 

[StephenZA]

Another place we miss Mulder... good slipper.

I don't understand how Olivier has become this irreplaceable member of the SA attack.

Yeah especially given what he bowls like now. I could have maybe seen him as a valuable Nortje replacement before he left, but I'm not actually even convinced he's better than Mulder on bowling alone at the moment.

I don't understand how mayank has somehow done a non disastrous job with such a shocking technique. If SA had a metronome like philander or an outswing master like Steyn be wouldn't last an over imo.

Haha he's a weird player I've been trying to figure out for a while. Just much better than he should be in general, which probably just means we're missing something.

They've gone a bit too full when going full all series imo. He's been able to crunch those drives as a result.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Shouldn't pitch it up to mayank at all. Just keep it a tad shorter than length outside off he's going to edge it. He plays at everything.

Wish Dravid had continued working with our youngsters(A teams, under-19s, etc.). Can't think of many people who could do that job as well as Dravid was doing. We need mature, well-rounded youngsters rising up the ranks so that life gets easy for the captain/coach of the national team. And Dravid doesn't beg for credit/attention, he would have happily continued doing what he was doing.

I've never seen Newlands look this overcast during a game.

 

[OverratedSanity]

It's so funny watching agarwal bat. He gets squared up and plays at a ball a foot outside his body every other ball and then immediately shadow bats a perfect backfoot defence. Dude what.

 

[Gnske]

The Chad Play and Miss Everything vs the Virgin Committed Edge

 

[ankitj]

Into the tail now.

 

[OverratedSanity]

That's a pretty bad back foot defence too

 

[StephenZA]

Yay!

 

[OverratedSanity]

3 wickets in 10 balls incoming

Pujara's walking out strongly looking straight into the camera and not at the ground as he usually does

Solid body language

Will make 3 (10) imo
