***Official*** India in South Africa 2017/18

[Contra]

Man it's so conflicting to see Kohli do well and to root for the team whilst also simultaneously knowing Kohli and Shastri are dumb #intent memers who dropped Saha and Bhuvi for Patel and Ishant.

Saha was injured ftr, also picking Rohit in tests is always a piss off.

 

[abmk]

unnecessary swipe that from Ashwin. that was a wide one. should've been well left alone.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Time to flick that switch,Virat.

 

[SeamUp]

Shami before Ishant #intent

 

[Spark]

One innings shootout would make this game super fun.

 

[Contra]

Time to flick that switch,Virat.

Nah we can afford for Shammi to go ham before Virat does, also 10 minutes till lunch.

 

[TT Boy]

Markram would have been fun for a couple of darts here...

Especially with the tour of Sri Lanka in the summer. South Africa need to verify if Markram is in anyway serviceable (at international level) and this is a decent strip to validate that.

 

[Niall]

Great innings tbf from Virat, needs to somehow get them past 300. I don't have as much pity as I should for him though, he knows well that having 3 rabbits in your ranks is very dangerous.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Probably been said before. I don’t understand why when you have the number one rated bowler in the world bowling like a beast with pace, swing and control you don’t give him the new ball. And you give it to spraygun Morkel instead.

Edit: lol

 

[Contra]

Kohli needs to shield the tail from Philander while keeping himself while putting away his cover drive momentarily.

 

[TT Boy]

I don't think Kohli will be doing that again.

 

[Spark]

Odd tactics from Shami deciding to hog the strike against the new rock

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah this tail is pathetic. Kohli has to dominate the strike here.

 

[StephenZA]

End this before lunch... wish we had kept the runs down this morning.

I'd give him the first new ball but it made sense to bowl him with the older ball earlier today instead of now. He's pretty good with reverse.

 

[cnerd123]

Get Ishant in to block and let Kohli go ODI mode plz

 

[morgieb]

Bhvui looking even more of a prank decision now.

 

[Contra]

ugh, can't blame him for that I guess. Kohli needs to make a move now for sure lol.

 

[biased indian]

Hope india wont give a lead of more than 10-20 runs

 

[vcs]

These mugs aren't going to last long. So often, the lower order runs is the difference between home and visiting sides these days..
