2nd test ... India vs South Africa at Pune

[Mosher]

Need to bring on Shami and see if the ball is reversing. He will clean up the tailenders.

[SRT100]

India should bat again, just to give their bowlers a rest for  a few hours. Then set a target of 500+ to win.

 

I cant see SA even scoring 300+ in the 2nd but Indian bowlers need a break IMO.

 

Rain and light are the two main issues which will factor into enforcing the follow on coupled with when SA finally get bowled out 1st innings.

Ishant doesn't merit selection specially in home test.. looked awfully innocuous.. would hv been better to include Kuldeep yadav instead of him..

Ironically I would have taken Kuldeep as the 5th bowler ahead of Yadav.

 

After this test, I would drop Ishant for Kuldeep.

Shami needs to bowl a few bouncers now. Push the batsmen back.

well said ..... this fact is evident in his series wise stats itself... Ishant is at his very best along with  fellow seamers abroad.  He rarely  raises to those heights at home.

Great reverse swinging yorker by Shami. Maharaj did well to get his bat on it.

India will now most definitely be batting again now, make sure SA bats last on a deteriorating wicket.

[SRT100]

New ball coming up soon, fast bowlers should clean up the tail.

[Mosher]

Ishant has been poor in this test. Drifting down the leg too many times.

[SRT100]

lol. India will go into the next test with 6 bowlers.

There is no way doofus kohli will drop his buddy ishant ,however crap he might be at home .

Ideally we should play kuly in place of ishant especially with jadeja flopping with the ball 

[TheWall]

As usual tailenders make merry against Indian bowling

[adi B]

Kohli's captaincy is baffling, gets too defensive at times ,dhoniesque. 

His bowling changes have been ordinary as well

[adi B]

Shami and umesh would have ripped these two apart by now but captain doofus continues with spin 

[adi B]

Jadeja to khol dene wala tha inko ??

Kya Hua?

[Nikhil_cric]

Pathetic stuff. 5 bowlers and still 100 run stand conceded. 

[Nikhil_cric]

This is why the Jadeja as an all-rounder experiment need to end. Need to focus on his damn bowling. 

[Frustrated]

gone !!

[Frustrated]

Ash Win !!   Yesssss
