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

Whats even more frustrating than this batting display is the selections.

Keegan is probably the one guy that would need time in the middle as he is one of the "experienced" players going to NZ, and they don't play him.

Stupid.

Ngidi bowling bloopers....

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Geez India going to get 250 in 50 overs here, going for it.

Easy bowling from Ngidi

 

[capt_Luffy]

Commented too fast.... Now Jaiswal gone

 

[Spark]

Another quick five or so and we'll have a game

Jaiswal will want to learn quickly not to defend off the back foot that way

Having watched Jaiswal a fair bit in the IPL, he never exactly struck me as a Test Cricketer.

you get that from t20 cashgrab and not his fc average of 76?

 

[morgieb]

**** me this is grim from Ngidi. Surely with 2 other quicks he has to be hooked.

 

[Shady Slim]

for reasons that were put very well by i think it was @Spark india aren’t the same india that beat us here recently, in terms of both the personnel and the form, tbf, so i don’t think they will have the same tickets as they did last time on us and especially because we got them in the WTC

yeah uh i meant they were uh better

 

[Spark]

Don't understand how Ngidi is allowed to just rock up to Tests like this. He did this against Aus last year too, would just start out matches/spells with zero intensity and allow a stack of effortless runs before getting into his work.

i know that rabada bowled junk out here but that really overshadowed how awful ngidi was too he suuuuuuucked

 

[Shady Slim]

by the way the third umpire checking for the no ball and it being out of the hands of the on field guy makes so much sense

 

[Spark]

Can criticise this bowling all we like but this is kind of what happens when you put up double digits in the first dig. Bowlers get desperate to take wickets every ball and serve up a juicy diet of pies instead

 

[Gob]

Wtf happened

 

[honestbharani]

Some very un india like excellent slip catching in that session.

Jaiswal esp impressive. Hope the kid makes runs next dig.

 

[silentstriker]

Pretty sure India wouldn’t mind the 3rd test

SA dagf about Tests as evidenced by their squad to NZ.

There is exactly zero chance that if BCCI were to be like “hey three Tests?”, that SA would say no. Precisely zero.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Hope the kid makes runs next dig.

That might be a different series.

A very Dravid dismissal though.

I don't understand why he's given the new ball either. Arguably all of the other three are more suited and deserve it more.

 

[srbhkshk]

I wonder if a first innings lead has ever been achieved in a lesser number of overs.
