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

[srbhkshk]

He's put some work into his batting recently.

Yes, he's okay for a #11, and not the absolute turd he used to be, but he is not #9.

 

[Apex Predator]

Umesh is a better bat than bumrah tbh. I do not know what Dravid is smoking rn

 

[OverratedSanity]

Umesh sucks too. Ashwin and Thakur abd pant needed to be better.

 

[karan_fromthestands]

That lineup had Dravid, Tendulkar and Ganguly! I would take them as a whole over this one.

Was just posting it for the heck of it. It was a strong batting lineup, just highlighting the patch when we were having these WKs who couldn't bat to save their life.

 

[karan_fromthestands]

Umesh sucks too. Ashwin and Thakur abd pant needed to be better.

But he has retired.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Too hot to handle for Bumrah

 

[Spark]

well that explains why kohli was farming the strike

 

[karan_fromthestands]

Bumrah should just smack it around, that's what is working for our tail, if they defend they'll not contribute anything. Lord and Ashwin are the perfect template for the tail, they'll be useless if they try and bat like proper batsmen.

 

[trundler]

Tail bad

What a wonderful decision it was to bat first on this pitch in Overcast conditions, especially given the woeful form of the batting line up!!

Imagine if Kohli wasn't playing this game either, India would be struggling to get 160

 

[OverratedSanity]

Kohli nailed on for a massive score here, missing out because of the nonexistent support. Maybe he really is back to 2018 Kohli then.

The conditions never seemed unplayable though, it's just very tight bowling.

 

[cnerd123]

Gonna need some Umesh shenanigans. I don't think we can win this if we concede another first innings lead. Hope we blow them out.

Really hope Kohli gets the ton. He's batted brilliantly. Deserves it.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

He's very susceptible in that region

 

[karan_fromthestands]

That was soft.

 

[cnerd123]

**** me

 

[Spark]

ah, really good innings regardless

 

[Arachnodouche]

Look at those losers in the dressing room looking on.

 

[Spark]

a bit surprised he didn't go boundary hitting though. just nudging onto the offside for singles that aren't taken is kind of pointless.

 

[Daemon]

**** get a cut shot ffs

Great innings anyways, held us together.
