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

[OverratedSanity]

Ok say that is you like. I agree with OverratedSanity, it smacks of denialism.

I'm flattered that you agree but stop being an annoying little dweeb.

Really think Rohit should take a break from international cricket for mental health reasons. He is clearly still stung by the WC defeat and is not helping himself or his team by being here. Its ok to find it hard to come back after that kind of a loss.

 

[honestbharani]

I'm flattered that you agree but stop posting.

Yep. Pretty sure the forum atmosphere rule applies here given this **** has been going on for 3 years now. Even supposed mental health breaks are broken when India is losing.

Lmao good point tbh

Kohli deserves a ton here, I feel for him. He is playing next level while the rest dont seem interested to fight.

I think Rohit is not in a good space mentally. Seems like still struggling to digest the WC loss. Won't be massively surprised if he calls it as the captain in tests

I dunno about calling it in but I definitely think he is not ready to come back to international cricket yet. It can happen when you stake everything on a tournament. But he really should just take a break and let the others play IMO.

Looks like Virat is playing for the draw.

With all the crap sa cricket has gone through, this test match is just unbelievable.

And we are one player short.

Nah they're just bad

 

[Third_Man]

By any standards 96/4 to 121/9 is surely dramatic

 

[OverratedSanity]

Haha great finish

 

[kevinw]

Lovely result. South Africa really on the way back in all formats.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Nothing more could had been done there.... South Africa deserved this win; our bowling and batting both were **** except a few good fights.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Ind were really useless apart from Bumrah, Kohli and KL(first innings).

 

[Spark]

Seriously impressive by SA. If de Zorzi and Bedingham follow up on their promise - and they somehow replace Elgar - then they could be back competing at the pointy end of Test cricket in no time.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Did Pollock seriously say south africa were underdogs this series? I'm sorry, I wholeheartedly reject that notion and anyone who thought that was wrong. This India team is way worse than the one that lost in 2018 and 2021. Baffling statement.

 

[Heboric]

Yay well done lads

And well done to the Centurion crowd

 

[Sunil1z]

IND lost the match on first day . Can’t win in SA without scoring atleast 300 in first innings.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bumrah's figures flattered him greatly. Wasn't impressed with his bowling at all. He just wasn't as useless as thakur and prasidh.

Tbf it's tough to do everything on your own when you have negligible support from the other end (though Siraj was good in bursts)

Two debutants.
South african test cricket is at its lowest in living memory.
We also only play two twst matches a year, 4 days of cricket will blow most of these players minds.

Hardly baffling imho
