This is heartbreaking. Didn't think we'd be so meek with the bat. Pandya's 93 is the only thing that has kept the match going.

Pretty much all the stars were aligned nicely for India here.. Steyn got crocked halfway through the match, Amla failed in both innings, our bowlers stepped up, we got the best use of the conditions...

and we're still looking at a heavy loss. :(

It may seem churlish to blame the bowling but too many freebies on day 1 meant South Africa got about 90-100 more than they should have,

The worst thing from this match for India is Hardik Pandya succeeding. It means the idea to play with 6 batsmen is gone out of the window for the rest of the series. 3-0 on the cards chaps.

Yeah that lead was so crucial for SA. Some silly selections from us as well, this love affair with Rohit is ridiculous.

Rohit is like a virus with a narrow range of growth-specific conditions.

This Steyn injury ruined this series for me. Kohli/Pujara/Rohit vs Steyn is what the neutrals came to see.

Firstly I understand if some of the Saffer and neutrals are bored of talk constantly about Rohit as after all Rahane is just one man. Its quite likely that India would have lost this test even with Rohit carrying drinks.

However its still an absurd call. Looking at Rohits test career we all call him a FTB test bully and rightfully so, but that doesn't even do him "justice". I'd cut him more slack if he had smacked England, South Africa or Australia around at home, but the ****er has not even done that, he has genuinely made a test career out of smacking around Sri Lanka and West Indies. Even Yuvraj who was similarly annoying smacked around England now and then.

That partnership with Sachin was quality. Rohit doesn't even have that.

He'l play in England also. **** this. Guy.

Saha a bit unlucky there, did look sliding down.

Anyway game was over the moment Pandya got out. Can't believe we screwed this up so badly.
