Everyone take a Chill Pill... We performed decently well.

There were always going to be troubles touring SA. There are a million things to complain about but the fact is its an away tour and this was always on the cards. We came back brilliantly into the game not once but twice. Look at the positives and relax....

[King Tendulkar]

Agree 

[King Tendulkar]

 But vultures are out 

 

let’s judge after whole Series

 

this was good match . We were competitive . Sa has to work hard to get the win

[sergio04]

we lost a great opportunity to win overseas test

batsman laid us down

i dont think sa batsman will fail twice again in test matches

[chewy]

The thing is, it is a short series, 3 matches, already 1 down, and expectations were to win for the first time in SA, a draw will be commendable but will be feel rather underwhelming 

 

A 4 match series, then many positives since another 3 matches left

 

but 3 match series, no time for mistakes

[SK_IH]

saffers looked absolutely pumped up,they are on a mission to demolish us, actually not looking forward to next two tests

[Cricketics]

Agreed. Batsman could have applied better but it was expected. In Hindsight and in first sight we should have played Rahul and Rahane, but realistically speaking, the result would have been much different.

 

some right moves by Kohli and some wrong moves. But match is lost by some poor batting collectively. I will not blame bowlers for the first innings.

 

Keep the oppositions to under 300 is good. I will take that any day on our first performance. No way bowlers did anything bad. It was the batting

Sorry, this is not called performing well. But yes, nothing outrageous has happened, these are tough series for everyone and will really test our abilities. 

 

Lets fight back in the next one. Its not all over yet.

[Sgattick10]

Disappointing cos we could have own, our bowlers almost won the match for us but our batters let us down. Its was a difficult pitch but not umplayable , 208 was chase ble.

This is performing well.

Winning would have been performing exceptionally.

This is all well and good. At least we gave a fight.

[speedheat]

We?? Its only our bowling man

[Detonator]

Ironically in last SA tour our Batsman were great but bowlers were terrible.

[goose]

lots of positives on the bowling front

 

pandya's 93 flattered the batting to be honest. he isn't going to come off every time.

Pitches were flat.

Did u watch the match Philander was Bowers leg spinners at 125ks

[maniac]

Not really...fk these moral victories and well fought attitude....problem with Indian culture....winning is not important participation is..blah blah blah.....no champion ever came out of this mindset.

 

When we bundled South Africa allout for 130...the sharks should have smelled blood and should have thrown everything at it to win the game....totally gutted and so should the team for messing up a golden opportunity...hope they have the mental strength to bounce back from

it and from what I have seen that is one positive aspect of this team.
