India v South Africa - 3 T20s, 5 ODIs, 4 Tests

[corbies]

So the pitch is getting smashed by everyone in mohali. Too spin friendly is the general consensus. Surely we would rather a pitch like this than a batsmans paradise? Wickets >>>> runs

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

So happy to see Rabada in this game. He will be a top 5 bowler in the world within two years

 

[HeavyPop]

South Africa looking good so far, but I'd hate to bat last on this pitch, especially if it goes into day 4+5.

Darling Davey Warner won't be able to get a 150 on this deck though.

oh poor Amla, comes forward to spinner, ball beats bat, keepers hands/glove nowhere near ball, it bounces off keepers chest onto the bail and dislodged it. Amla given out stumped (in line with the rule) but if the keeper can't even get a hand or glove to it...that's just gotta hurt hahaha.

 

[DT_fanatic]

Yeah this test isn't going beyond the fourth day.

 

[akkaps]

India clawing their way back into the game. Though, we'll need to dismiss ABDV before we can say that we are in front. First innings scores could be tight.

 

[corbies]

Is ABDV human? Is just a level above

 

[DT_fanatic]

Good stuff. Hopefully we can post a target of 250+

 

[akkaps]

Wow, that batting collapse.

 

[Cleavy]

Steyn has a groin strain

Why was Philander giving the glare when he got that wicket before? First I've watched of this test.

 

[Torz]

What a catch at short leg!

Dunno, but anyone who wants to give Dhawan a bit of a send off has my approval. Let alone when they've got him for a pair!

India in a very strong position now though.

Ashwin is the bowling equivalent of a flat track bully.

Don't think any Australian in the current side would make 150 in India.

Barring Williamson, will the rest of your team combine for 150 at the Gabba?

 

[Pralaya]

There was just a discussion in the chat of my live stream regarding India's interest in attending tests. Seems mostly that they don't have the patience for it but also that tickets are more expensive

Actually, tickets are expensive for T20s and ODIs. They range somewhere around $30-$50 per match. Test cricket is practically free in India.

It is just that with work and stuff, very few can afford to spend 5 days in a cricket stadium. And, general lack of interest in test cricket.

Much better bowler now than he was when India were last overseas.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Well this match has been turned on its head. To have any chance, SA need to bowl out India by tea tomorrow
