SA chances are much better without ABD in team. Good they got rid of that guy.

[vvvslaxman]

Keep going? lol hahahah  This is why i don't mind a bit of conservatism from india. I mean not super conservatism though. Death batting is way more important.

[nitinbwj]

India play after 6 days...

[nitinbwj]

Eng are not WI to continue throwing bat and still reach 350+

got one. Fieldin restrictions matters. Rabada will get more

So did Phelu. Here the way  you  get wickets is through variation and clever field placement.  You have to exploit the thought process of English cleverly by bowling in the right areas.

[nitinbwj]

Stokes is another overrated cricketer.

[mishra]

lets see if Tahir gets any turn

[putrevus]

Getting openers our cheaply is very important against England that will slow them down a lot.

[nitinbwj]

Eng Bowling looks so thin.

[G_B_]

It just goes to show, you need to shunt england in the first 10.

 

Faf has rotated bowlers well so far.

Agree!  Clever bowler gets wicket no matter what. Very rarely fails.

[mishra]

May be lesson for everyone. Start with spinners against England, Save fast bowlers overs

[mishra]

And short ball will allways do tricks against English

[ssurenn]

Come on tahir

Why is India match so late? By that time SA will already played 2 matches

Busy sight seeing, shopping and having local cuisine

Most importantly take a dump at the shores of thames river and then wash their gands with it. Perfect tour.

That's true. Butter hates short bowls. Pepper that on him and he gets flustered.

[VT87]

Faf should have introduced jp duminy  instead of Tahir against  both lefties 

[vvvslaxman]

Their run rate has come down from 6 to 5.48.

Whole team sucks against short ball. Its just that bowlers who can bowl short balls are generally wasted in P1  due to filed restrictions
