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

[cricketsavant]

I told you again! SA didn't even manage a lead, honestly the most pathetic saffers side in history.

 

[Heboric]

Now that was pretty shitty

Olivier owes his team a truck load of wickets

The rest of this Test will go a long way to determining the legacy of this Indian Test side. If they can win in South Africa, following the twin victories in Aus (and 2-1 in Eng) furthers their claims to being among the best Test teams ever, just below 80-95 WI and 95-07 Aussies

The pitch and the bowlers don't matter it seems hey? Mulder or extra batsmen would of made not much difference, unless mulder came in for a bowler.

Do you read much?

As terrible as it was, not his job. Horrible collapse by even a fragile batting line up. Outside Petersen the top 6 where horrendous.

The strength of opposition must also be taken into account. This is certainly the weakest SA side since readmission, the weakest England team possibly ever and the Australia sides that India beat are also some of the weakest for many decades. It would also be important to note that India lost the WTC final, a match in which they were favourites.

That's not to put this group of players down, I would rate them very highly as a team but we have to factor in that there were other great teams also, not just WI and Aus, Pak in the 80s and early 90s were phenomenal, India themselves in the 00s were very competitive against much better Aussie sides, as well as various Aus, WI and English sides pre-1975, although that is quite a different era.

Told what again? You said they would score 150, so wrong again. Not much of a savant are you?

Obvs I was being tongue in cheek but my point is, whatever India get on the board, SA can't get it. India to win the test, mark it down kid. 2-1 as I predicted.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Fmd rabada looks unplayable.

 

[silentstriker]

man this is gonna be tough to get the sort of lead you need to be comfortable.

 

[ashley bach]

India 40/2 at stumps

 

[cricketsavant]

India will get a lead of around 220-250, SA will aim for a draw and probably be all out for 170-200.

 

[Arachnodouche]

[Shri]
