Lord Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 why 2 Tests at Joburg with gap in between. Could have played at Durban or Cape Town express bowling 1
Lone Wolf Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Just now, Lord said: why 2 Tests at Joburg with gap in between. Could have played at Durban or Cape Town Bubble transfer I think.. They don't want to repeat the mistake when England toured. Even ODI & T20 series is carefully planned between two venues. Lord 1
Lone Wolf Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 India has a good record at Joburg so no complaints. Good to see India A tour as well. Now hopefully Test specialists leave early after NZ tests at home & let youngsters play in T20Is at home. Gollum 1

In RSA most tests last 3-4 days especially against Asian sides. Besides we can send two different squads for tests and white ball leg. Best time to build our bench strength in white ball cricket against a decent opponent. Also not much travelling unlike earlier tours where we would play almost every match in a different venue. Edited September 9, 2021 by Gollum
Lone Wolf Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Would be weird to play Boxing day Test in Centurion without crowds.. Hopefully situation improves. Saffer crowd is hostile as f*** makes amazing viewing.
rageaddict Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Would probably be a series against the most inexperienced SA side ever since their readmission. No Amla, No Faf, No AB , No Philander, No Steyn, No Morkel. India should be doing well in this series. Great chance for Kohli to register a Historic series win in yet another unconquered territory.

Rabada Nortje Olivier Ngidi Mahraj Nothing to scoff at. It's a powerful bowling lineup. Will be a tough series They also have qdk, Elgar, Markham and now Jannenine malan. Gollum and Lone Wolf 2
Lone Wolf Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 India have won last 2 boxing day tests both in MCG.. Will we get to see Hattrick? Best chance imo to win in Centurion which is SA's fortress. SA have a gun bowling attack. Markaram Elgar Qdk J Malan are quality batsman. Except Bavuma the fraud their batting unit is decent & did well on Spicy pitches in WI recently.

SL beat them 2-0 so would be a travesty if we don't win series

Gill Shaw Abhimanyu Vihari should feature there.

Probably underestimated them as well... as SL were clean swept 2-0 by Aus C side. There was no Nortje, Olivier in that series as well.

Dodda Ganesh bowling was some sight. He would run in with long Steynesque run-up in the end to bowl at Gangulyesque pace. Gollum, Lord, Suhaan and 2 others 5

Their bowling has got better but batting is same. Expecting another low scoring series. Lone Wolf 1

Lord Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Just now, Adamant said: What? South Africa whitewashed Srilanka. just checked there are 2 series in 2019 and 2020,both in SA. SL whitewashed SA in 2019. Still I don't think SA has got much better and we should be winning easily
