Pandya is an unreally good find for India.
Yeah just out of nowhere we suddenly have a discount Ben Stokes. Will take that any day.

Imagine if we went in with four bowlers and were forced to bowl Bumrah/Shami through their **** spells. All rounders help balance so much.

Lot of sledging going on out there :D
It's so ****ing lame that they only do it when they're on top in the game. When they're behind and the team actually needs someone to lift their spirits they all go silent. One of the most pathetic things in cricket.

Lol, Jadeja not even trying to grab one on Ashwin's bowling. Does he still see a chance of playing in 3rd test?

Terrible ending for SA, need a kick up their ass for that one... hopefully we can scrape together another 150 runs tomorrow. Think our seam bowling will be much more penetrative than Indians,

RSA still comfortably ahead but decent comeback by India at the end there, helped by that inept running between the wickets.

This team has shown it is **** at 4th innings chases and this pitch is sure to offer variable bounce and turn as the game progresses, so SA could already have enough. Any kind of first innings lead will do the job for them IMO.

SA are at best slightly ahead atm. I'd say it's even right now. They should be in a dominant position but have somehow managed to piss it away.

Yeah, I haven't watched enough to be able to judge the pitch TBF. Was out most of the day, but Ashwin looked like he was getting some decent assistance. I'm sure their bowlers will get more out of it.

Can we eat him yet?

The commentators giving Hardik the old "makes things happen" cliche that only allrounders ever seem to attract (Stokes, Flintoff). I don't know how he magically hypnotized the batsmen into making terrible running decisions there.
You really don't think Pandya is "makes things happen" player? I've seen a lot of him recently and I can't find another way to describe him. Cliched but true imo.
