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

[Woodster]

Good start from Bumrah, signs of some movement both ways and good pace from his very awkward looking run-up and action!

 

[Black_Warrior]

What a disaster. Is the pitch that bad or have we played poorly?

Neither. Pitch has help for new ball bowlers like most good test pitches. India bowled well. Unfortunately SA were not able to see it off.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Good discipline from Faf so far

 

[StephenZA]

Amla's shot was bad. Rest was good bowling by Bumrah on a spicy pitch

None of the other bowlers have been impressive honestly....

 

[Black_Warrior]

He's still bowling kinda around his ODI length so far.

Expected this. Would have been worth giving him a debut against Sri Lanka if they wanted him to play the 1st test here.

 

[Shri]

Abdv seems a class above, looking at Faf bat.

 

[OverratedSanity]

None of the other bowlers have been impressive honestly....

Bhuvi you mean. Yes, probably accurate, But literally only 2 bowlers have bowled any meaningful number of overs so far.

 

[NUFAN]

Bumrah and Pandya vs Morkel and Rabada as likely first change bowlers. Thats potentially a huge difference.

You mean Bhuvneshwar right? But I think Shami was fine too..without being as threatening.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This looks like a bit of a masterpiece so far from AB

Great point. This is why I would have preferred Yadav in first change

 

[StephenZA]

Bhuvi you mean. Yes, probably accurate, But literally only 2 bowlers have bowled any meaningful number of overs so far.

Oops. Yep... will call him Kumar so I don`t get confused! The other bowlers all bowling about a foot wider and easily left alone.

 

[Contra]

What wonderful bowling from Bhuvi other than that one over where AB got after him.

 

[Shri]

Nice comeback from Bhuvi.

 

[Shri]

Yadav was unfairly dropped. Looked threatening with and without reward recently. One of those guys who kept the pace up even during long spells. SHould have played instead of Bum.

 

[SeamUp]

Faf looking to pull on all those gritty characteristics of his.

Done well sofar. Looks solid but still positive with running between the wickets.

Wouldn't have minded wither him or Ishant

 

[NUFAN]

I said it before but I think Bumrah will be a handful when the bowlers come in. But at the batsman Yadav would be great on this pitch.

I dunno though, Bumrah has looked very good so far.

 

[Shri]

Wouldn't have minded wither him or Ishant

He's gonna get ab and leave us with poop in our mouths, isn't he?
