***Official*** South Africa in India 2015

Philander opening was a strategic blunder. He was not going to miraculously get runs for SA in the situation. It opened the gate for India.

I sense the Indian posters here getting complacent. That never ends well.

Just wait till tea. Unless there are people around and you smell.

Yes to both

So i showered

And missed ABDV's wicket

You all are welcome.

Surely with some of these balls, they're turning so much you just have to think, "well, if they're pitching on that sort of line it's actually pretty impossible for me to get out"? Just play the line.

This is such a gun test

game far from over. As I said just in the post above, small totals mean the game is almost always alive (albeit India huge favs obviously)

I think the issue is that there are balls spinning tons, balls not spinning, and plenty of ball turning slowly but just enough to find the edge or earn an LBW decision.

ABDV had the right idea to play with decisive footwork - get to the pitch of the ball when full, stay back deep when its short. SA haven't been judging the lengths well, and have clearly not picked the straighter balls.

Lots of them have made their minds up too early though. Amlas leave was inexplicable.

 

[Spark]

well, can't blame the deck for that

 

[duffer]

Nice one

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ohno not aaron.

Another gun bowling change by KAPTAIN KOHLI

Suck it up ****s. This bloke is about to impose his first loss on Lord Amla. Respect it.

 

[Howe_zat]

The Baron has a good spell every time I watch him. Hostile.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ohno not aaron.

Lol ok i'll take it

 

[Shri]

LolElgar. Out to ****ing Aaron.

Eh this one was lucky

 

[Jono]

Kohli, Aaron and Kumble together made Sanjay look like a dick just then.

 

[cnerd123]

Hahahaha Varun Aaron WAG.

Was just going to post that it's a pretty decent idea to bring on some pure pace after all that spin. Excellent stuff.

Why? They were looking comfortable vs. spin more, why not a 2 or 3 over spell of something different?
