India will take 260-270 here.. I think Pitch has quickened up & with sun out it will probably do more. Our hit the deck seamers should enjoy it here.
i see. that explains it. fair enough if injured or some niggle.Nortje injured, Olivier maybe, some rumours but Jansen was a surprise selection.
@halba Mulder is a batting allrounder you don't replace him with a bowler!!!
There has not been a lot of movement, and the Indian batsmen have played very well. And the pitch is still slow. I think that graphic showing them leaving the ball so close to the stumps shows how well they have batted. I don't think the bowling from SA has been amazing but I don't think it has been anywhere as terrible as people are implying. Jansen started poorly, but has actually been bowling pretty well since. Ngidi has been the least likely bowler so far.
Lowest common denominator isn't it? Just spouts cliches and banalities all the timeI truly detest Haysmans commentary... he basically says what everybody who does not actually watch cricket or understand the game thinks. Totally inane.
Gets on my tit... quite often end up listening to the Afrikaans commentary for awhile.Lowest common denominator isn't it? Just spouts cliches and banalities all the time
Jansen could trouble him imo.Virat looks calm out there. Could get a score here
I think that's the plan, get Kohli playing outside offstump at a moving ball. Credit to him, he's avoided tempation.Mulder's bowled so many harmless balls way outside off in his 10 overs it's unreal
He has very limited scoring options v spin. It's why he gets out very often even in Lois to them.Maharaj was well settled while bowling to Kohli.. Helps when you know he won't step out & sweep. Kohli should rather face pace than SLAO
not really. he just doesn't play the way that worked for him a few years back vs spinners.He has very limited scoring options v spin. It's why he gets out very often even in Lois to them.
