***Official*** India Tour of South Africa, 2023/24

[SillyCowCorner1]

Nice little knock from Arshdeep

 

[Dendarii]

Nandre Burger looks very very good. Would have loved to see Beyers Swanepoel, top top player and I'd go fsr as go say he's the closest thing to Vernon we have.

I was a little sceptical about Burger's selection as his domestic stats weren't screaming out for him to be picked (although I don't know what his recent form's been like), but he's certainly looked good. And I agree about Swanepoel as his being overlooked is starting to become hard to understand.

 

[Heboric]

Now to watch our batting from behind the coach

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Is that a good score? I don't know. SA may fall like dominoes...or get to the target in 20 overs.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

difficult chance

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Samson should come forward a bit here

 

[Bolo.]

I swear if you toss a cricket ball to a random bloke on the street in SA, there’s as good a chance as not that he’ll be able to bowl it at 140kph plus. They seem to have a zillion of them.

Years back, I worked with a guy in England from somewhere in Southern Africa who said he could bowl 140+.

His surname was Burger.

 

[Bahseph]

It's as if these comms haven't watched Hendricks for any length of time. He does go through periods of being bogged down quite often.

 

[Socerer 01]

I hope it’s just being treated as match practice / tryouts as opposed to trying to get the team balance right. Yadav at 8 is really bad.

idk if these jamodis arent being used to test the combination that hb points out in pressure free matches when will we?

You sure not Shane Burger ?

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Good to see Lizaad Williams is getting back to bowling in the 140's ..

Poor lad has suffered from a lot of injuries was a 90 mph bowler in his teens

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

First international hundred for De Zorzi , well played young man , fantastic.

 

[Aidan11]

Well done to de Zorzi and well done to SA.

 

[Chubb]

Didn't see any of the game but very pleased for de Zorzi, he looked impressive in the last game before throwing his wicket away. SA have a good one there.

 

[Bolo.]

You sure not Shane Burger ?

Na. Don't think this guy was remotely near 1st class level, just quick.

 

[honestbharani]

De Zorz replaces De Kock as De Star.

 

[Shri]

I used to like Tilak but Shri liking a young Indian batsman is basically the kiss of the death so I'm rethinking it.

50 biatch

 

[ashley bach]

Could finally be the making of Sanju that innings.

 

[Andyhere]

Well played Rinku! Just the kind of innings you need at the back end.

 

[Silver Silva]

Could finally be the making of Sanju that innings.

But brother he averages 50 in odi cricket before this knock, i think he has been badly treated by Indian selectors..
