    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2021-22

    I think India has a shot. The SA batting to come is inexperienced and there will be some real scoreboard pressure with a series at stake. The Indian bowlers only have one full session to bowl so they will be going hard the whole time. There may be some more turn for Ashwin and he could be...

    Good over by Ashwin after the big disappointment. And good move to bring Bumrah back now. This is probably the crucial passage of play.

    Wow. That really looked out.

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2021-22

    This pitch does come to life suddenly though. Probably a demon spell by Bumrah and some luck is needed.

    Very little for Ashwin so far. I think India may fall painfully short yet again. You also have to credit SS for showing a lot of fight not least after losing 3 tosses.

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2021-22

    It's looking uncomfortably like a repeat of the last test. Perhaps there will be some turn for Ashwin this time. I have been looking at the key tests in 2007,2011 and 2018 and they were all in Cape Town. If SS wins again here , it will legitimately be one of the great fortresses of test cricket.

    So Rahane and Pujara done enough to save their place ? Their innings were in that grey area where they definitely helped their case without decisively answering doubts. Obviously a lot will depend on the outcome of the game and series.

    Clearly world cricket has acquired a second Sir Ravindra.

    This test really underlines what a travesty it is for the series to be just two games.

    Why aren't there more close-in fielders? Moronic.

    I never understand why you don't have 7-8 close-in fielders in this kind of situation.

    India v New Zealand (WTC FINAL, replay-- NAHHHHH) at the Ring of Fire, Dubai, 10/31 Sunday (N)-- Match #28, Group 2

    Barring some unlikely turn of events, it looks like India is out of the tournament. Truly pathetic. In recent years India has struggled at the business end of ICC tournaments but at least gotten there. Here they have barely competed in their two crucial early games so far.

    Sunday 25 October: Bangladesh v Sri Lanka and India v Pakistan Match Discussion

    A pretty astonishing result. I genuinely thought that 150+ would be enough on what didn't seem like an easy pitch. https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283277.html Just for context the list of TTI wins by 10 wickets and I believe this is the first ever one for Pakistan and the first...

    *Official* Second Test at Lord's - Aug 12-16 2021

    Yeah Bhuvi averages 22 in tests and could be an option. What's happened to him?

    *Official* Second Test at Lord's - Aug 12-16 2021

    If you are thinking of Ashwin, obviously playing two spinners on this pitch would have been risky. India needs a pace bowler who can bat. They need to rethink the strategy of keeping Pandya out of the tests at least for important tours.

    *Official* Second Test at Lord's - Aug 12-16 2021

    India's bottom four batting is so absurd. I checked the averages of their averages and it's under 9. It has to be one of the worst tails of a major team in recent history. And when the middle order is also struggling it just puts the team under huge pressure.

    Congratulations NZ, a thoroughly well-deserved win. For India yet another disappointment in an ICC championship since 2014; they really should have gotten the draw in this one.

    Poor Pujara's place is already in danger; this will really not help his case.

    Shami is bowling too many loose balls. Get Jadeja in now.
