SK_IH Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 287 was a poor performance from bowlers,Bhuvi couldnt get the support he needed to get SA for a below par score.And I cannot condone that drop by Dhawan,the defeat margin is absolutely similar to what that drop was worth Link to comment
AmreekanDesi Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 It was but not at point you are looking it was lost when we went 3 down for 20 odd Link to comment
SK_IH Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) @AmreekanDesi i think the pitch wasnt that easy to bat,especially when you are not looking score ,AB is my man of the match bowlers had to attack in pack and should ve performed the way they did in 2nd innings, we were a innings late unfortunately Edited January 8, 2018 by SK_IH Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 India got better batting conditions and still fell short by 72 shows how poor was batting. Moreover most of the runs were scored by lower order players. Turning_track, sensible-indian and beetle 1 2 Link to comment
chewy Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hindsight, Shami didn’t show-up day 1 and India second innings, Kohli and Rohit getting out inside one over to nothing deliveries after having settled down at 70-3 Link to comment
beetle Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 It was out batting that let us down in both innings. Lets not blame the bowlers. They can't be expected to bowl well and bat well. They took 20 wkts and did it with style. Link to comment

Lol if you take out batting contributions from our bowlers this might be an innings loss or somethhing Cuz even when Pandya scored it was the bowlers who gave him great support Link to comment

Trichromatic Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 3 minutes ago, SK_IH said: i am not sure about it Then watch the match. Pitch eases out as the time passes in a day in SA. We never survived to take advantage of that. Who dropped catch - batsman (Dhawan) Who scored runs - bowlers (Bhuvi, Ashwin, Pandya) Who missed run out - batsman (Dhawan) Who ran out a batsman - bowler (Ashwin) 286 on this track v 90-7 which one is worse performance. I will go with later one. Link to comment
Laaloo Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 After playing xi was selected, Vijay was the main mujrim. Dhawan is hopeless so can't blame him. Link to comment

CG Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Conditions which Indian batsmen got for batting were good enough to score 200-250 in both innings.Pitch quickened up on day 2.It was slower on first day.Batting first is always a advantage.We bowled poorly batted poorly lack of practice.

Even Kohli dropped faf of Shami first innings like Rohit took Amla today's the match would have been diff.We need openers good slip fielder.Rahul Rahane must play on these pitches Ashwin is not needed.

Shunya Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 92/7 in 1st innings 82/7 in 2nd innings Surely this is not sub 100 type pitch and that too with opposition short of their premier bowler. Its a test match, batsman have to play out and see off the new ball. Once the ball gets old, its easier to bat, but obviously nobody could do it. Link to comment
