***Official*** India in South Africa 2021-22

[Daemon]

Wet ball is a pretty massive disadvantage

 

[ashley bach]

not sure about ashwin at the moment.

seems a mystery bowling spin after witnessing Bumrah's first over.

 

[silentstriker]

Only thing is Elgar given Ashwin’s record against left handers.

 

[silentstriker]

This is just all a little too easy and well controlled for SA.

 

[cnerd123]

I really didn't like how the infielders just let the ball roll to them in the first couple of overs.

They're letting it get wet! Should attack the ball and get it off the grass asap

 

[Arachnodouche]

Bumrah's had a real stinker

He puts unlimited faith in the short ball and his ability to set up batsman with it. He's pinged a fair few ppl with it but he'd be far better served hammering away on a good length.

 

[ashley bach]

Draw was 80 to 1 yesterday now it is 9 to 4 did anyone back the draw

draw traded @300/1 on betfair, now 6/1

 

[Shri]

imagine not opening with two bowlers in your team who can swing it when there are lights on and clouds about

we deserve to lose

 

[ashley bach]

looks like more rain on the way...

 

[Spark]

Extremely surprised that neither Thakur nor Shami started proceedings

 

[OverratedSanity]

Thakur had to start under lights. Big mistake.

 

[Shri]

this is as bad as what burns and sibley did against us at lords when opening

 

[Spark]

Thakur had to start under lights. Big mistake.

Like, India could still pull this out for sure. But they're really giving themselves very little margin for error here with somewhat mindless decisions like these. SA probably only need 30 overs to seal this, if they get close to the target without losing many wickets then it could end in a hurry. Not that much time to take 8 poles.

 

[ashley bach]

Indian supporters should soon start thinking about TOTO
i blessed the rains down in Africa, I blessed the rains down in Africa

 

[StephenZA]

Long way still to go...

 

[cnerd123]

Games basically done atm

 

[Daemon]

Letting anyone get to 150-2 on this wicket is some shameful ****

 

[Aritro]

Letting anyone get to 150-2 on this wicket is some shameful ****

It's madness

 

[ashley bach]

Games basically done atm

all 3 markets well in play.
SA 1.45 draw $6 India $7 don't go anywhere just yet...

 

[OverratedSanity]

Rare bowling failure. SA shouldn't stroll this like they are. The pitch is hardly unplayable but has had more in it than this.
