If we take 20 wickets here, we'll have to see if this the first time in SA where we have taken all possible wickets in a series.

I wonder if the batsmen in this series have collectively averaged less than they did in the 2015 series. Been a long time since we've seen such a ball-dominated series IMO.

If only we had the current bowling line up and our batting line up of the noughties with Sehwag, Dravid, Sachin, VVS and Ganguly. Couple of key guys like KL Rahul and Rahane lost form right ahead of our overseas tours. Actually in our previous tours the batting line up was promising enough for their first overseas tours but Vijay, Pujara and Rahane have somehow gotten worse since then.

However, I think there's still a strong culture of batsmanship in India and the pipeline is good. The U19 players like Shubman Gill and Prithvi Shaw will be playing test cricket in 2 years I'm pretty sure, unless the current crop improves significantly.

Get the feeling that if Kallis was playing he would've still found a way to murder us. **** loved India's bowling. Think he averaged 80 against us.

Considering the horror show he had in previous match, parthiv was fine in this match. But why this poor guy is always made a scape goat in difficult situations(Opening).

****, just realized Parthiv's 16 years into his Test career and not even 33. Now I feel old. :(

Somewhere out there is some tedious losers banging on about how this is a bad test match and how awful the pitch is.

For me this has been awesome, love a see-saw three day test match where every session is full of drama.

Whenever Parthiv have been asked to open it seems that he was not that bad.

69 vs Pak (2004)
42 vs Eng(2016)
67 not out vs Eng(2016)
71 vs Eng(2016)
Total average while opening:- 65.25

Edit:- Uuuuuuuuu Parthiv
