Some posters were indeed sure of Toygers winning 2-0 or drawing it 1-1.  I think what has come as a surprise (to me) is the amount of bounce extracted by the SA pacers (mainly Rabada) on this pitch (especially on Day1).  Usually BD pitches stay slow and low from Day1. But this pitch almost behaved like the Bangalore day1 pitch.  It seems the toyger curator got it partly wrong. Or maybe there was an overnight rain which caused this.

Curator messed up I guess, though I didn't watch a single ball. 

 

On typical SC type wickets, still feel that BD is better than RSA.

It's also a sort of utter humiliation for the bazballers.  Minnow BD whitewashed Pooks 2-0 in Pak. While Bazballers (in Pak) hv lost one test to Pooks by 150+ runs.

Saf V Aus WTC final seems likely now with Aus winning once again

Chattogram is almost always a very flat wicket. You need 500 upfront to ensure you dont lose.

SA need this away test series win and then they have a chance to massacre Pak in the home series and win 2-0 there too

The way Ind are playing right now, they don't deserve to be in contention for the WTC final.   Glad that SA are thrashing BD.   And are in strong position to reach WTC final.  Aus vs SA Final should be a decent contest. Both teams hv solid pace bowling attack.

Transition stage India better not make it to final. We don't want three final losses in a row.

If we play youngsters we might have a chance. Doesnt matter if we lose with them.

It isn't a transition when seniors like RoKo Ash Jadeja are still playing.

This is a old washed up line up make no mistake.

Imagine PuRane with these guys lol

 

Transition will happen when these guys go.

This is simialr to 2012 situation where some of the old guys were still llingering around without gracefully retiring. Atleast they achieved a lot in their hey days. I am not sure what Rohit has acehived in Tests to be considered a necessary entity.

That is Mirpur wicket. Chattogaram is always a belter. Remmeber Kishan made 210 there. Even Kohli made a fluky 100 there. Gill made a 100 there.

[Lone Wolf]

Rabada's legacy is sealed as greatest test class bowler of this generation.  Insane numbers for such a young fellow.

 

He would be kicking himself to not play against this washed up Indian line up right now. Could have owned us even in India looking at washed up Southee and a rookie pacer in O Rourke heck Hasan Mahmud are destroying us.

Faced peak Indian batting machinery in 2019 lol

More like Bobzy the Ling and non existent pace unit was culprit.

Sajid and Noman would have at least made it 1-1 vs Kanglus.
