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

[Member Berry]

jansen looks like an absolute nightmare to face. ridiculously tall fast bowlers always look especially difficult to handle, should be banned tbh. go play basketball, marco!

 

[ashley bach]

Nerve wrecking this game

try a chill pill.

 

[Member Berry]

as Sanity said, he's a walking wicket.

how the hell did he get 60 in the first test? i haven't seen him bat in a while but he looked especially twitchy this innings.

 

[slippy888]

South Africa have never seen a batsman like virat kholi

 

[slippy888]

250 will be enough for India to win this test match

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dammit SA dont do the cheap leg side strangle strategy, itll be funny if Kohli gets out but also annoying.

 

[Member Berry]

Rabada's figures (6 overs 1 for 25) seem absurdly off from what I've been watching for the last hour.

 

[ashley bach]

night watchman ready in waiting...

 

[ashley bach]

good strategy from India calling for gloves with 4 minutes to stumps, ensuring only 1 over to be bowled.

 

[Heboric]

Meh pity we couldnt get the **** out

 

[silentstriker]

Everything even! Should be pretty good for batting tomorrow, but fml Rabada is so good.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is a very good series

 

[Member Berry]

that was much better than i expected after rahul got out. been some really good bowling by rabada and the shooting guard of oklahoma city thunder.

 

[ankitj]

About time our veteran batters standup and get counted. Bowlers keep bailing them out but obviously that's not how we can consistently keep winning test matches overseas.

This is a very good series

Yes!

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

Why?

This is a very good series

Similar to last one .
I think our last 4 tours to SA and current one have been very competitive and exciting irrespective of the result.

 

[karan_fromthestands]

This is the fakest of fake news. Before the series, many in Australia were saying it was their best attack ever and they had Smith back unlike the previous series. England have been playing cricket for a long time and it’s ridiculous to claim that this side with Root and Anderson and co is the weakest ever.

Totally agree. England play too much test cricket and are bloody good in their own backyard. The Aussie team that "India B" defeated in the last tour had one of their best bowling lineups.

Terrific series of cricket, this. India marginal favourites at this point, but that could all turn around in the blink of an eye tomorrow morning. And the last time I said I had no confidence in South Africa chasing down a tricky 4th innings target against this India attack, they proved me wrong...

 

[ankitj]

Loose bowling by India, if they tighten it up they can pick of these lower order batsmen for under 100.

Tightened up enough?

Yeah Ind Aus & India SA are quality contests. I think back in 2013 SA was really pushing for a 4 match series but BCCI had big issues with broadcasters. Could have been the start of something special but both boards missed the bus eventually.
