250 will be a winning target for India , anything less than 220 will give a chance to SA. With Kohli in good nick, he will take the match away from SA by lunch. He is still a match winner. 

Hahahahaha. Kohli. Match winner in sena? When has he won us a test single handedly ?

Does the bag have a hole at the bottom like it did in the second test? Watch today's action to find out!

[Frustrated]

Yes, India has this match in the bag.  But the bag just got misplaced.

What a pathetic bunch of loosers these guys are once you forget Dhoni last 3 years of test cricket captaincy. I have allways maintained, results don’t match to Dhoni era simply because our bowlers save us everytime. We need to completely overhaul test team batting order even if that means dropping all of them

[Lord]

knew it when the thread was made

Any specialist batsman who on current form is incapable of taking the game away from the opposition should be kicked out right away. The losers with 50 as their ceiling have ruined Indian cricket. How many times should the bowlers toil to do all the hard work while the freeloaders happily carry on?

[Lord]

lmao they are showing DRS decision. Whole team said something on stump mic. Lost it there

[mishra]

We are consistently scoring around 200 and allmost 40% of the runs is coming from our bowlers and keeper. Shame on BCCI and chewt fans who can’t see this basic fact

I hate jine/anti jinx or prediction/premature e******* threads

So pissed off that the same story is being repeated! Our specialist batsmen are pathetic, couldn't get their act together for just this one innings. This SA team is nothing special. Sure, they have good bowlers but their batting is weak. Failure to beat even this weakened SA team is inexcusable.

Ban op

Its not form. Example of form is Pant. He was struggling with form. You cant have all of your top order out of form. They are incapable. None of specialist bats are good enough to fill in the shoes of Dada, sehwag, Dravid, laxman and Tendulkar. They bloody need to hang there head in shame, so do BCCI and fans supporting them

Fans are getting carried away. I agree Indian players have unnecessarily got loose/emotional after that DRS decision. They acted as if everything is over then and there itself.

I still feel there is a good chance of India defending with 110 in their bank provided they pick up some early wickets.
In the first 2 overs on day 3, two middle order Indian batters went back to pavilion. Why can't Bumrah & co. do the same to Saffers on day 4 morning.

With Elgar out, there is no controller (or the solid batsman) who can play anchor role for South Africa. Once Peterson get out, the procession might already start.

 

I will take it this way:

1) if India manage the defend the target, we will witness history tomorrow as this becomes the first Indian team to win test series in South Africa.

2) Else, heads will roll from the Indian team and especially Pujara and Rahane will be sent back to domestics/county/wherever and we will have some able young replacements for them settling down in team India.

So, it is a win-win situation whatever happens on day 4.

Bas kar yaar, @sarcastic rehende.. bas sab kuch ho gya, it’s all over

[vvvslaxman]

yes it is safely in the bag

 

[nitinbwj]

Ind needs to pick 3 wickets in the first hour with no more than 30 runs...even then it will be difficult to defend. They knocked 100 runs for just 2 wickets. Nope... Not happening

Can you please use your panauti power against SA

[urbestfriend]

I am sure there will be 2 50 run partnership and match will be over in first session.. I am sad that we are close yet couldn't sail through.. Heads need to roll.. Whats also pathetic is lower order batting who are going for glory shots when you have a batsman on the other side.. Whats vikram rathour doing there?

Declined, with great power comes great responsibility. Need to get rid of Purane with this loss. Need to look at the bigger picture.
