mancalledsting Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 its gonna rain tomorrow, ICC and CSA counting on God's grace to weasel their way out of this one.
Straight Drive Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Lost important overs today they could be 3 down by stumps on day 4. gattaca, Laaloo, MechEng and 1 other 1 3
Deleted_User_1 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 OK, now India go win the match. No need to aim for body blows necessarily. Bowl in the right areas and out think the SA batsmen. There is no reason to think you do not have the bowling resources to bowl out SA under 200.
Gollum Posted January 26, 2018 Author Posted January 26, 2018 Chalo I can at least sleep peacefully. Felt very agitated since 8:30, ball hit Elgar's head and I was having a bloody migraine here because of their antics. Time to hit the bed. ravishingravi 1

PBN Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 what is the exact official reason to go off the field today then? Did the SA players wanted to go off the field or was it solely the match officials' decision. Which then beckons the question: What is the difference between today and tomorrow

I think the decisions that went into it are 1) India played on the same pitch and SA bowling definitely has fire / zip. 2) Bumrah's ball was not of a good length, in fact it could termed short length, he is zippy and can extract bounce of a pitch. I am sure the pitch exaggerated some of the bounce, but it wasn't like it kicked up dangerously from a good length. Elgar also showed some indecision of misjudging the bounce, had he tried to get his head out the way at the last moment, the ball could easily lobbed off the glove/bat handle for a catch.
veer Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 ^ those are all conspiracy theories... Anyways.. lets hope we win the game... worked really hard. Faf and ABDV are nasty 4th inning players..
WC2011INDIA Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Sadly, enough time for the groundsmen to sprinkle some magic in the pitch to make it slightly easier for the batsmen. Won't be shocked if SA chase this target in 2 days. That or they know it's going to rain for the next 2 days so high possibility of a washout. 14 minutes ago, Gollum said: 7.45pm News coming in that the Johannesburg Test WILL CONTINUE tomorrow.

putrevus Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 If it does then all three bozos who are responsible for this match should never be officiating again. What a bloody fiasco they have leased SA a new life already , they could have been 3 down and the pressure that 30 minutes would have put has been snatched from India.
