thats same as right armers bowling to LHBs. Eventually both need to be skillful

Yes but there are fewer LHB's in any lineup and going around the wicket is more common for RAP for some reason.

Puddles being formed on the outfield, Dont think we will get anymore play today.

Even if they do that, most left armers only bowl over the wicket , and without any swing, they will struggle to get lbw's and challenge the inside edge. 

 

Most modern pacers can bowl both over and round the wicket. If they can't then they shouldn't be picked for tests. This applies to both RAF / LAF as there are lots of LHBs playing in almost every team.

Haven't checked. Our chances are very slim regardless. Don't we have to win 4-0 or 4-1 in BGT to have a chance ? 

Nope 4-0 or 4-1 would mean we don't have to depend on other results.

That doesn't means we can't qualify with 3-1 or 3-2 result in our favour.

How the heck India lose to SA .

[Nikhil_cric]

Swing for the first 10 overs in a Test innings in SA(since 2006)

 

This Test had the 2nd highest.

 

Also, average seam movement of 0.813 degrees .

 

Tough, tough conditions. This reinforced kookaburra is doing a LOT

We did lose 2-1 last 3 test series before this one. Indian bowling could not defend two fourth innings totals .

More like Indian batting shat the bed both the times in the 3rd innings, when the wicket had flattened out. 

 

Also that South African team had Elgar, De kock and an inform Rassie van dussen..much stronger than the current team.

He doesn't watch the games or scorecards. He only has two go to arguments...

 

1. Bowlers didn't do a good job. They should've won the game despite our batting.

 

2. Everyone is to blame. What did others do if Kohli didn't score?

 

Everyone who watched the last few SA series knows that if batsmen had showed a bit of spine, we would've won the series. But they imploded even in good batting conditions. The likes of Pujara, Kohli, Rahane laid big eggs. Other than Rahul's 100 in the opening match, none o fthe batsmen did anything the whole series (last series which we lost 2-1).

All of them are nipping the ball around. Kumara at 141k trapped verreynne leg before.

[rollingstoned]

This pitch feels like Highveld pitch, lot of spice. Keeper is collecting above shoulder from Kumara and it is zipping venomously.

[vvvslaxman]

Energy level is important from the team. 143 kph ball. They are reviewing it

[Nikhil_cric]

It's decent bowling.  But SA have batted poorly in this innings. Lost 2 wickets more than they should have 

[rollingstoned]

Kumara has injured out Mulder by hitting him on the hand. Big blow. He took treatment for some time but it didn't work. 

[Nikhil_cric]

Vishwa should come around the wicket. The swing has gone now.  Typical left arm seamer mistakes.   

 

 

[Lone Wolf]

SA can put up a fight with 150ish total

SL only has Kumara but SA have got three 140k+ Pacers for this pitch.

Not going to be easy ride for Lankans either.

He's too slow. Someone like Arshdeep would do better here and he also comes round the wicket

Same pace more or less.  Vishwa Bowls in mid 135k range like Arsh
