***Official*** India Tour of South Africa, 2023/24

[Daemon]

Two drop catches off Ashwin already :/

 

[StephenZA]

Damn... Was hoping Elgar would get his double. He is an absolute beast in SA.

Opening Batsman to Score 185 in a Test Innings

2023: Dean Elgar - 185 vs

1995: Michael Atherton - 185* vs

1990: John Wright - 185 vs

1966: Bob Barber - 185 vs

*not out

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is a big brain scheme from Rohit to ensure that Prasidh never gets picked again because he knows he sucks. Good guy Rohit.

 

[StephenZA]

Bavuma injury that bad? Did not realise.

 

[StephenZA]

And Jansen batting is just turning into a meme now... Long may it last.

We may not have many writers but you don't seem to mind us cricket web posters

I won't mind if they only posted on CW too

Nice try GS

Looks like Bavuma won't be able to bat....

 

[Heboric]

As Mark Nicholas mentioned, couldnt Bavuma just stay at the other end and bat for his partner and team #justsaying

It doesnt look good imho

 

[King Kane]

Has Bavuma got another hammy injury?

He looked like like he was carrying a dodgy hammy through the World Cup too, not sure why SA keep picking him when he isn't fully fit.

Meh, if the team needed him then sure, and I expect he'd bat then. But when SA are dominating anyway, why risk aggravating his injury?

 

[trundler]

why risk aggravating his injury?

So they can respectfully drop him before the next test

 

[Heboric]

There is a quick turnaround between tests

 

[Stefan9]

There is a quick turnaround between tests

He has no chance playing at Newlands if the injury is so bad that he can't come out and bat.

Will be interesting to see if they continue with the 7/4 split or with bringing Kesh back in they revert to 6/5.
I like the 7/4 more looks more solid.

Man india find Tests in SA so much harder than in Australia.

 

[Himannv]

It's a hamstring right? He's out for a few weeks at least. If it's a grade 3 tear he's out for much longer.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Was a good ball. An incredible innings from Jansen, basically took the match away

 

[GotSpin]

That’s a lot of overs for Bumrah
