Good chance for Kohli to win in Bangladesh this year since he never won there as a captain

Fun series. Lacked runs in the last two games, time to move past Pujara and Rahane. Some of the other basics in the field could have been better - general fielding, bowling plans, etc - but you can't win games if you don't score enough runs. We can't make our quicks taller but we can find other batters.
Good result for SA. Uncovered a couple of gems, Elgar is the right man to lead the side. For all their flaws the batting lineup showed itself to be more stable than India's, which is either a positive for SA or a damning indictment on us. Either way, deserved to win this. Bowled and fielded better too.
Kohli's antics continue to grab headlines for the wrong reasons. Surely he can't remain the face of this team. We've got Dravid in the setup, Kohli attacking the broadcasters via the stump mic is a disgrace to the great man's legacy.

Meh, always better to jettison players who couldn't be ****ed actually putting in the work. It's not like he was setting the world on fire with the bat.

Congrats to SA. Clearly the better team across the three games. Looking forward to see KP's batting again, will be much more enjoyable to watch against a different opposition.

India didn't fight back as much this series as they did in Aus. We scored a lot of runs in the bottom 6 in that series, but over here they were basically absent. Bowling seemed to lack the same patience they had in Aus too, seemed to be hunting for magic balls rather than bowling dry and building pressure.
Little things like Lokesh's spat after getting out as captain, the Bumrah/Jansen tensions, then the meltdown yesterday after Elgar's LBW all showed they were not in the same sort of headspace as they were in Aus. Felt like they expected a win here and didn't react well when SA put up a tougher fight than they anticipated.
Ah well.

it's those ****ing blow ins crowing this side as the best since 00s Australia and @Shri prancing around talking about how we'd smash them in a session that cost us tbh
Lose the optimism and be humble you pricks. You're undoing all the hardwork the rest of us put in over the last 5 years to get us to this point.

We lost the previous game because we didn't have his passion. Which is totally unique and irreplaceable. Unironically no one else is capable of acting like a dumbass. He's the only real wrestling heel we have.
