Frustrated Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Spelling of 'Markram' is the same whether you read it from left to right OR right to left. Similar has been his performance whether its 1st test OR 2nd. hehe express bowling, Gollum, Stan AF and 3 others 6
Frustrated Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Saha's keeping has been absolutely top notch, throughout. The best I have seen recently. Gollum, Vilander, Forward Defence and 4 others 7
Frustrated Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 India last 11 Test series at home: Won Won Won Won Won Won Won Won Won Won Won The last time they lost a Test series at home was in December 2012 versus England G_B_ 1
rtmohanlal Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 Rahane,Pujara,Ishant & Saha should be replaced by VIhari , Gill,Kuldeep & Pant in the next test now that India has won the series...

India might have to chase 100+ runs on a crumbling day 5 wicket. Who the hell wants to bat last on a sub continent wicket?? 8 hours ago, Vilander said: Lol 426+ runs hehe in second innings lolz. One wicket and two chances already in 2 overs. 8 hours ago, Nikhil_cric said: No point flogging our attack for 200 + overs continuously. That will take its toll. Should have batted two sessions and then put SA in. 8 hours ago, Frustrated said: SA are scoring at 4 runs per over. Hitting a boundary every over. I wont be surprised if they score 450+ runs on this wicket (which is still very flat). 7 hours ago, Frustrated said: SAF scored 415 in the 1st inning of the 1st test. They are more than capable of it. Lol putrevus 1

I just don't see the point of enforcing follow on and our bowlers having to bowl 172 overs on the trot. That tends to take its toll .I believe there was no forecast for rain tmrw. We could have easily batted for 60 overs and won it tmrw on a pitch which had worn out even more.

As long as we win and win well, it should satisfy us fans. We cant just drop people who don't bowl a good spell, don't take wickets in few inn etc.. etc.. People dint want Umesh to play, now that Umesh did well.. Ishant needs to be dropped .. Jadeja should not be turned into all rounder.. Drop Rahane… Why Rohit played before the first match.. Silence before second match and as soon as he failed, see he cant bat seaming ball.. While batting we want our team to smash everything and while bowling just get them all out for nothing.. lol.. I feel we need a game.. the opposition slugging it out is good too.. Tail scoring can be frustrating but its not impacting the bigger picture in this match. I am happy with our performance in this series so far. No one wanted Ishant in home tests. He is played based on his overseas exploits. Now where is the horses for courses policy of the team. Ishant isn't someone who can be relied upon at home. Vk1 1
Deleted_User_1 Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 As much as I despise Bewrat, I do not think any team can beat India on Indian soil. However, the lopsided outcome of this series has been more of SA incompetence as it has been India's brilliance. This Choker-Saali Proteas team is really hurting from Graeme Smith, Amla, De Villiers and Steyn gone. Those are 4 top deck players, especially the last three. Vk1 and Cricwala 2
Vk1 Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 Has South Africa ever had this weak a team in their history before ? I mean imagine Faf getting injured.. their batting will be as weak as west indies..

I don't think this has happened for a very long time in SA history... possibly not since 1950s.

All these are above average batsmen at best.. no disrespect but the earlier Gen had almost everyone averaging above 50.. mid 90s team too had consistent batsman and the lower order then was probably the best lower order for ages.
