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

[wpdavid]

Probably some game from the triassic period.

England won after being bowled out for 60odd in the headingley stokes test iirc.

Good call. 67 to be specific, but that's the lowest I can think of.

Iyer is utterly worthless.

 

[Niall]

Iyer is utterly worthless.

Teams have bowlers who they don't bother with in certain continents, no reason to persist with Iyer outside Asia IMO.

 

[cnerd123]

FFS Iyer

Can we even get 200

 

[wpdavid]

Parts of all four innings in the same day isn't out of the question here.

Or even a one-day match, maybe.

 

[Spark]

Iyer just isn't it outside of the subcontinent hey

I can only find two matches where the team won after making less than 67 in their first innings, and you're right about the Triassic era. Both are

We need to get these two out chop chop.. If we want even the smallest of chances.

Feel for the crowd though, not nice when the local team is doing so poorly

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

What can SA hope for? Bowl India out as soon as possible and set a target? That seems very unlikely.

In this sort of situation you don't hope, you don't even think about setting scores..You just try to take it session by session , first try to get all 10 wickets that's all that needs to be thought of now in that dressing room. Most important thing now is to play for pride

 

[mackembhoy]

There are many of us in England who wish he might have played for SA instead. That said, they wouldn't have picked him.

He was born in England and grew up in Zimbabwe. Why would he have qualified for SA?

Tom Curran was born in SA.

 

[h_hurricane]

I hope Kohli gets his average up above 50 before he calls it quits. He had that terrible slump but has always been an amazing batsman to watch just about anywhere.

Probably the best ever batsman not to average 50, if he doesn't get there.

He was born in England and grew up in Zimbabwe. Why would he have qualified for SA?

Tom Curran was born in SA.

Do we know where his mum was born?

 

[Chin Music]

He was born in England and grew up in Zimbabwe. Why would he have qualified for SA?

Tom Curran was born in SA.

Because I thought he grew up in SA given that Tom was born there. Nothing more than me wistfully wishing that he wasn't an England player.

Down to his dads FC career. Was at Boland when Tom was born and Northants for Sam and Ben.

Not sure on the hate for Sam. He's nowhere near as bad as his brother for starters.

 

[mackembhoy]

Do we know where his mum was born?

Bulwayo according to this for those interested in the Curran family, as this is the offical Curran family history thread.

[Kirkut]

Iyer is utterly worthless.

Iyer's phobia against the short ball reminds me of Raina again.

 

[OverratedSanity]

That pull is peak kohli. What a shot.

 

[honestbharani]

I think 12 of the 14 wickets so far have all fallen from the same end. Surely this has to be some kind of a record?

 

[Aidan11]

WTF? Left home for work with SA 3 down but didn't expect this kind of collapse.

Sell out crowd for the first 4 days. At this rate it may not last beyond 2 days.

Rahul has mastered the "show the bat to simultaneously say no run to your partner but also indicate to the umpire that you've hit the ball" gesture on lbw appeals. He's becoming a true veteran.
