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

[Fuller Pilch]

Who is this commie who is speaking 1word per minute. Is he drunk?

Is it Mao Tse-tung or Vladimir Lenin?

7 overs in a row for Bumrah. ffs Kohli.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Runs really flowing today, Shami and Bumrah didnt bowl great in the first spell. If QdK stays in for a while, Kohli will start sweating.

 

[Kirkut]

De Kock has handled Bumrah quite well.

 

[Gnske]

7 overs in a row for Bumrah. ffs Kohli.

Forced declarations and forced medical retirements

 

[silentstriker]

Well this is fascinating.

 

[Gnske]

Why are they bowling proper bouncers to Bavuma. The man got bowled trying to duck a half tracker from Stuart Broad ffs.

 

[Gnske]

150 runs to play with and KOACH is already going for defensive fields.

They didn't sack him from enough of the captaincies

 

[StephenZA]

I said I was worried about how the SA batsmen would play Ashwin...

 

[ashley bach]

It's not quite a problem yet for India, but the runs they are leaking will have to come into consideration soon.
even more so while Quinton is at the crease, this guy knows no other way than to play his normal game.

Important spell from Ashwin here.

Read some of his interview on TCM. He really struggles with maintaining fitness and thus finding rhythm early in a spell. But he's experienced enough to work his way into the bowling and finding tools that work. The problem is sometimes he needs to bowl so many overs to get there that by the time he's bowling well, his body is already giving up lol.

Hope he finds his rhythm quickly today.

After reading that interview, I've been worried each time he's had to do anything in the field.

There's really nothing in the pitch for the spinners at all. Should be able to handle him in these conditions.

In theory that is true... but SA batsmen have the tendency to find gremlins against spin that does not actually exist...

 

[Gnske]

Lmao what kind of shot is that Quinton

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Oh no! Think that's it

 

[Gnske]

That was a garbage innings from a senior test batsman. The situational awareness of a lemming on a cliff

 

[OverratedSanity]

Nice. Badly needed that. QdK kept playing that shite shot , was only a matter of time. Pretty dumb batting.

 

[StephenZA]

So very QDK...

... so who replaces QDK for the next test match? I know Verreynne is incumbent but Rickelton could allow us to move Markram to 4.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Really needed those two to get it to about 220
