South Africa tour of India (2 Tests/3 ODIs/5 T20s)

[010203]

As Fatty Vautin would say, it's a 6-athon from Jansen.

 

[Plugger35]

Bumrah too good for Harmer.

Jansen might get stranded with only Maharaj left to bat with him, he isn't the worst no.11 though.

 

[Sea fog]

Poor shot from Jansen to fall 7 short of a ton and he looks pretty angry.

 

[010203]

Jansen gone for 93, bowled by Kuldeep. South Africa all out for 489 after 151.1 overs.

 

[Plugger35]

A shame Jansen couldn't get his ton but he has helped put SA into a strong position, it will be hard for them to lose from here.

He appeared to get off strike for long periods.

 

[madjoe]

Jansen will be kicking himself,Cricket is such a mental sport he played different when the number 11 came out which cost hm, Manaraj isn't a number 11

so funny to watch this test after what happened in Perth

 

[ExchangeStatMan]

India will sign off for a 1-0 series loss right about now. (Test matches)

 

[Plugger35]

India with an England style collapse, SA will be firm favourites to win this test and make it 2-0 now.

 

[010203]

India went 12 years without losing a home Test series. They're well on their way to losing a home Test series for a 2nd consecutive year.

Shaun Pollock saying the wicket is starting to 'misbehave'

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Utter screamer from Markram.

India in diabolical trouble.

 

[ExchangeStatMan]

Marco Jansen is going to be a nightmare to face on this Guwahati wicket in Indias 2nd innings.

India don't know whether to run or hide with the bat at the moment.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Rubbing your shoulder won’t con the ump Jadeja.

Jansen is having the game of his life.

 

[Plugger35]

Jansen is having a big game, almost scoring a ton and now he has almost taken a 5'fer.

Jansen is having the game of his life.

Unbelievable.

Did he think the review wouldn't get him??

 

[PhatBoy]

This is f**king huge for world cricket just quietly. Not so much India losing - that had already started with them losing to NZ so we knew the door was ajar if teams got it right. But 12 months ago I doubt many people would have predicted that SA would be the next side to walk through it.

gee they’re putting together a good resumè now. You’d have to think - and I know Australia’s next series IS a three gamer - they’ll be getting more three match series again going forward

 

[ExchangeStatMan]

So glad there is some test match cricket on today. Thank you India and South Africa for providing me with entertainment on a Monday, where I probably would have been watching Ashes , if it didn't clash.

And the standard of what I have seen from today , is the good old traditional cricket.

 

[Plugger35]

India are still a long way behind but Washington and Kuldeep are at least making South Africa earn it with a gritty partnership.

 

[Plugger35]

Washington out to Harmer, this innings probably won't last much longer now with just Bumrah and Siraj left and a new ball due.

 

[jackster83]

Surely Gambhir is a dead man walking now.

Shaun Pollock saying the wicket is starting to 'misbehave'

That's the reward for the batsmen having the discipline and ability to bat long in the first dig.

Bavuma is an interesting figure. He turned his batting around having seemingly been given too much rope but you can't help thinking that the parlous state of SA cricket when he took over has made him as a captain the same way it made Smith when he succeeded Pollock in the wake of the World Cup farce.

I hope Harmer plays a good deal more tests but it'll be tough with Maharaj around.

 

[Plugger35]

Jansen gets Kuldeep and a 5'fer.

 

[Plugger35]

India all out for 201, it looks like SA will be batting again rather than enforcing the follow on.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Jansen aims one straight at Bumrahs head & picks up his 6th wicket.
