Mark my words - India will still win the series

[Austin 3:!6]

Think we can take lots of positives from this game. We will be charged up and more focussed in next two games. Only couple of minor fixes and we would still win the series.

If Kohli gets the selections right and if we perform at our best with bat, ball and catching then we have a chance.

 

But what's the likelihood of all these happening two matches in a row?

[SK_IH]

and Rohit will be the match winner 

[tweaker]

Kohli & co should get its selection right.Rahane, Rahul should play in the next test.If Shami is not fully fit , he should be replaced by Umesh/Ishant.

 

But I think in next test they will make hero of Rabada

if not we want a topless picture of your ex

[mishra]

Relieve Kohli of Captaincy. Make Rahane the Captain. Shashtri should be asked to pack his bag. Kumble should take over as interim coach till a new one is found and we may have a chance.

I dont see that happening. Hence we will be lucky to avoid a white wash.

to win the series we have to win our next 2 games .. tough ask 

 

[Austin 3:!6]

How badly I wished it to be a 4 or 5 match series. BCCI

Can we scrap few LOIs and have a proper test series. The first test was already better than current Ashes series or any Ind-Sl test

 His ex is a pretty bulky dude.

 

@Topic- Our batsmen looked shoook in the first match. Lack of preparation hadn't done us any favor either. Get Rahane and Rahul in, maybe go with an extra batsman since Saha has been contribution jackshit with the bat. Can't rely on Bhuvi all the time down the order.

The pitch was supposed to go docile after first session of day 1. And if not ABDV, our bowlers would have had made Africans pay.

 

For once rain came just in time to help us. Our bowlers exploited the situation. However, Second game on, margin of win will only going to increase, unless off course some major +ve change in selection is done

We had luck going our way in this test. In general Saffers had to bat in the tougher phases and the injury of Steyn was a huge swing of fortune. Also most of the catches went to Saha, nahi to humaare slip fielder hum sub ko pagal bana dete. We are losing this series 0-3 because you can't win under a corrupt regime, if you put friendship and corporates/sponsors above team India you deserve to suffer on the results front.

 

We will get a bloody 0-3, 0-6, 1-2 style massacre and then all donkeys will forget everything once Jumping Jhapaak nonsense starts. We will do the same mistakes in Eng but will not lose that badly because Eng too is in a crisis mode, but the real mother of all beatdowns will happen downunder. Aus won't lay out friendly pattas like they did in 2015, they will lay out 1999/2011 style pitches and the results will be even more one sided than 1999 and 2011. Indian cricket is totally ****ed up unless IPL is banned and BCCI/players are held to task.

I think SA will continue to give us opportunities , just need to take those . As bad as our batting looks now , I would still fancy our chances on a pitch with assistance for our bowlers ..just need 1-2 of our batsmen to step up . My worry is if SA offers us a flat pitch having taken the lead already , may help some of our batsmen but our advantage of bowling at a pretty weak batting linup may get negated . if SA bats first and gets a 450+ totals , we are pretty much done .

+1 It is one thing g to try your best and fall short but it is sad when we start with the handicap of carrying ineffective sifarishi players. You can't score self goals and still hope to win. Back on topic - I think a win in one of the remaining games is a possibility but winning the series is beyond this team.

England will be settled by then. Stoke will become part of team. And that will be more than enough

Of course we'll win because spineless dhoni is no longer leading the team, King Kohli will lead his men to glory

Man, you guys must regularly smoke Peyote.

[Laaloo]

Yeah saffers batting is not great. We need to select the right personnel and hope we get the same pitch again.
