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

[OverratedSanity]

And batting in all conditions.

That last test in sri lanka when we batted o. The last day to save the game was as good as it gets imo.

That was probably one of Amla's most overlooked performances. Two great knocks in that test.

Whew. Thank God ChePu is still there.

Awesome day of cricket.

Faf's having fun here. Just rolling them out from his pocket.

Not the best of references when it comes to speaking about Du Plessis it must be said

 

[OverratedSanity]

How good was it to see Steyn back

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Great day of cricket!

Doesn't look very good for Rohit does it? He might surprise people for all we know

 

[Contra]

Haha so much overreaction. Obviously the Indian bats have throw away their wickets. But in all honesty Bumrah shouldn't have been picked, our follow up bowler had to a wicket taker in the test format. Rohit over Rahane is also a huge gamble. It was always going to be tough playing against SA on a pitch with pace and bounce with the quality of bowlers they have, so India had to take every advantage they could get, which they haven't unfortunately.

 

[bunny ears]

Relax. It's just Day 1. In 2010, they were bowled out for 136 on Day 1 and won the second test

Quite possible I have to say, but this is a better South African bowling attack and a worse Indian batting lineup for the conditions.

Morne just bowled that one good ball to Kohli.

Annoying really.

How good was it to see Steyn back

And I'm glad he just bowled a short 4 over spell and didn't go all out the way he did at Perth in November 2016. He was trying to hit 150 and blow Warner's head.

Morne just bowled that one good ball to Kohli.

Annoying really.

Was going to say. It was toilet the rest. Emotions clearly got the better of him as he was trying so hard.

More of the last 18 months tomorrow please Morne.

This is usually how the first test goes for a SC team in South Africa. On top of that, India are under cooked and Anushka is around.

Kohli's worst day as a captain and batsman combined?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Kohli's worst day as a captain and batsman combined?

Hahahaha no. That's Pune day 1 and 2 easily.

Let the Australian tail wag by allowing Umesh to chase a 5fer, and then played a rubbish shot to start a collapse. All time bad day which will never be topped no matter what he does.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Kohli's worst day as a captain and batsman combined?

That would be the 1st test against Australia 2017.

 

[weldone]

Rabada 4th bowler... first ball 146km/hr

Lol

We have waited years for this lineup to be all fit at the same time.

best pace quartet since Garner-Roberts-Marshall-Holding?

 

[Teja.]

Which test was it when he dropped ChePuj?

 

[ankitj]

Boy that batting lineup looks so tiny now. Saha or Ashwin are in next

3 specialist test batsmen itbt.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Which test was it when he dropped ChePuj?

West indies or New Zealand I think.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Which test was it when he dropped ChePuj?

Which time?
