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

Called it a while back sir. He can play all formats too. Sucks that he sucks as a fielder and batsman. Hopefully he can improve in both like Bumrah and Arshdeep have done.

Yes, I did even said the same thing and another poster said that I need to have my eyes checked.

One brings two...

Or six, in this case

This is shaping up to be the worst Indian test loss I've ever seen, and there are some great contenders for that

Is this pitch even fit for Test cricket

Are batsmen even fit for test cricket? Forget the pitches, there's too many batsmen these days that play on flat T20 pitches and can't handle a test pitch.

Or one of the lowest innings victories of all time.

South Africa have the perfect combination of incredible bowling and incredibly inept batting to make test cricket hurtle along at breakneck speed. Over by lunch on day 2?

Yes cause t20 cricket is the reason batting averages randomly dropped pretty much world wide (think SL and NZ where exceptions) in 2016 and didn't drop when t20 started up. FFS this is the same rubbish you heard in the 90s about ODI's. The best batsmen are still gonna make there way to test cricket, there's still going to be bryce street type players who are just naturally more defensive and prefer test cricket.

Kohli with the overzealous appeal for review shocker.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

That looked dead

 

[OverratedSanity]

Surprised it was missing entirely tbh. He was so far back in the crease.

Supersport at it again but with a vengeance against both teams

Tristan Stubbbs is a hack

 

[OverratedSanity]

That's a brute

tbf to @Daemon i dont rate him in other formats too but he is the best pacer in Ranji Trophy we have

 

[Anil]

Holy ****! Just saw that we lost our last 6 wickets for 0 runs! Talk about a lollapse!

 

[kykweer.proteas]

That could have been keegan petersen nicking it to the keeper for 1 run of 12 balls.

 

[honestbharani]

Is it too late for CSA to set up a quick 3rd test? Only takes a couple of days apparently with these lineups.

 

[OverratedSanity]

4 wickets away from the all time record for most wickets in a day's play.

I happened to see him play all 3 formats of the game when India came over to the West Indies last summer. He looked good for a guy making his debut.
