Now Sehwag having a sook too. 'Mind boggling hypocrisy' apparently. Give us a spell. Whenever India come these days we're scared to prepare anything but dry, lifeless, bull s**t tracks despite the nonsense we know we will get when we play there.

Using that logic, then that explains why batsmen who didn't get dished up their usual run fest conditions are going to be critical of the pitch.Of course the bloke who took 5 wickets loved it, as did Starc who produced his best non pink ball bowling in 5+ years probably!!!
Sehwag must have forgotten some of the goat tracks India has dished up over the years.Now Sehwag having a sook too. 'Mind boggling hypocrisy' apparently. Give us a spell.

To me, a "dangerous" wicket is one of variable bounce and pace. Balls spitting off a good length and hitting batsmen above the chest, balls hitting cracks and skidding along the ground, etc. I saw none of that. People can point to the Cummins dismissal, but the truth is Cummins played that very poorly and contributed to his downfall. The Warner dismissal in the 1st innings is a ball you can get at times, even on good wickets. Sub-standard pitch, maybe, dangerous, never.
Also a fantastic double century in Adelaide against India.Agree 100%
Hughes has 2 of the best hundreds I've ever seen - that one at the MCG and his 117 in the 1980 Centenary test at Lords.
Can remember the Hughes century at the MCG on day 1 Boxing Day.81/82 v West Indies 100 no in a team total of 198.A great knock.Also a fantastic double century in Adelaide against India.
Never seen a nation more nowhere than South Africa. De Kock pushed out for political reasons Markram dropped.
The quota policy is hurting the side. Bavuma went okay but 89 test innings for one century.
South Africa’s fixation on race is toxic, they were going on about Bavuma being the first black player to make a test century. Despite Ashwell Prince making 11 test 100s. But because he isn’t dark enough and is only a cape coloured they don’t count it. It’s pathetic.
Yup, it looked like a mirror from memory.Also, wasn't there a pitch in Sabina Park in the West Indies vs England '97 that play was abandoned after like 7 or 8 overs because of how dangerous it was?
They need to focus on picking the best possible side and not looking to fill quotas.You realise they're selecting bats with a 20-30 average right? They're not leaving out 50+ average lads because they're white, they don't have them.
Whatever quota policy they have is doing * all to South African cricket. They're just in the same place we were in the years after our golden generation where the batting talent well just dried up. The only difference is at least we had Smith and Warner to get us through that period.

OK cricket persons, can I get some help?
I am in a little competition and need to tip who will score the most runs in the Boxing Day test.

LIke on reddit all indian trolls saying things "why is nobody criticizing this pitch like they do with india's decks" err everybody is attacking the pitch you freakin nationalistic trolls, dealing with them is a bit like dealing with WA fans on this board everything is a culture war us vs them using cricket as the excuse to fight except there are 1000 times more of them to deal with.
Dunno guys, maybe we should listen to the match referee....

Honestly 4 pitches like pune is probably our only chance to win in india, pitches that are spin friendly but decent for batting well india are going to just grind us down on those but 4 bunsens? we at least have a shot of getting lucky on them and winning series.
I'll take the word of Richie Richardson, thanks.Below average is just your PR thing. Wasn’t rated poor though as expected. Don’t worry the soft batsmen with no techniques will get their roads soon
