South Africa v India (3 Test matches, 3 ODIs)

[glenferry23]

Looked out live. And now the transmission is interrupted. First world problem yes, but still * off Fox.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Not out, there was never any problem, nothing to see here.

 

[freo_leo29]

My guess was too high

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Clipping the stumps, umpires call.

I larfed.

 

[3rd Grade Maggy]

So not out then? Cricket is the only reason I still pay for this fox filth

 

[Moonwatcher]

I like that call though.

 

[freo_leo29]

Oooh umps call, very close

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Hawkeye had it bouncing over the grandstand

 

[Moonwatcher]

I guess the review was unsuccessful as SA are still 3 down.

Review showed it just clipping, Kohli won't be happy.

Umpire's call on hitting top of leg.

 

[corbies]

Kohli is gradually becoming more and more likeable it must be said
There was a time when that half volley would have been debated and dramatised ad nauseum

Ever since you said this he's been trying harder and harder to out-twat himself. You have a gift

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

They can't take lunch while we're in a rain delay surely?

Cmon please. Common sense

 

[Joffaboy]

Indians appealing when played off the middle of the bat.
41 to get. Go the Saffies

Reckon Ashwin’s just as naughty.

He goes after the umpires, which goes a bit far.

 

[010203]

It's been good watching Keegan Petersen bat this series. He's an impressive little player who scores his runs at a good clip.

Hahahahaha I was thinking this last night. You should see my NRL fantasy team from last year. Within 8 rounds I had about 9 guys with their seasons ended through ACLs, three of them retired

 

[PhatBoy]

This series win assuming they get it will do wonders for SA.

They have gaps to fill. No doubt there. But they have something to build around

 

[Gethelred]

Just saw the supposed shenanigans.

I genuinely love, love, love the s**t out of that from Ashwin, Virat and Rahul. That's ******* terrific. That's the best thing to come out of India since Satchin.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Ashwin all of 3 wickets for the series so far.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Was starting to like India until they pulled that s**t, * them, deserved losers

 

[Joffaboy]

People criticise Kohli for being so combative but they need someone like him, most Indian captains and players are too meek and mild.

Gavaskar was one of the first Indian captains that stood up to the Aussies when he refused to go off for an lbw against Dennis Lillee.

As usual you are incorrect, he didn't object to the LBW but being told to '* off'. He was sick of the sledging and asked the non striker to walk off. The other batsman kept asking, 'surely you are joking', and eventually went back to the crease.

At least try to get your facts right. Nobody needs to be aggressive. I didn't like it from Australia or from any other team. Do the talking with bat and ball.

 

[PhatBoy]

Ashwin all of 3 wickets for the series so far.

In fairness to him the pitches haven’t supported spin at all - Port Elizabeth or Durban would be more receptive - and the dominance of the quicks throughout the series has meant that there hasn’t been that much of a role for him to play

 

[PhatBoy]

As usual you are incorrect, he didn't object to the LBW but being told to 'fu** off'. He was sick of the sledging and asked the non striker to walk off. The other batsman kept asking, 'surely you are joking', and eventually went back to the crease.

At least try to get your facts right. Nobody needs to be aggressive. I didn't like it from Australia or from any other team. Do the talking with bat and ball.

Correction. No one needs to be abusive. There is nothing wrong with aggression and some players and teams DO need it: I would suggest you watch fire in Babylon and check out what some aggression and meanness did for the West Indies. Their 20 year dynasty was founded on two things: an incredible raft of natural talent, and a desire to prove themselves as the equal of the game’s traditional power brokers and that latter part was founded on aggression and an unwillingness to take a backward step.

India’s rise has also leaned heavily on not taking a backward step. There is nothing wrong with aggression. When it becomes abuse or a concerted effort to be a c***, that’s when it is a problem

Well either way Gavaskar was one of the first Indian players to stand up against the big boy teams like Australia, England and the West Indies back in those days.

Up until then India were subservient to their colonial masters, Gavaskar was one of the best opening batsmen and one of the first Indians to step up Kohli style.

He's a true cricket legend, he paved the way for the modern day Indian players.

Great start by Rassie

 

[k31th]

nice couple of low-risk sweep shots from VDD
