2019 India vs South Africa (3 T20Is, 3 Tests)

[Ohitsthatguy]

You haven't seen them on FB or YouTube then have you?

Nah, stay off Facebook and barely look at youtube comments due to their reputation

Compared to the indian decks in recent years this is a pretty flat deck so they must be a decent shout at getting the draw really more about handling that mental pressure of so many around the bat for your whole innings.

 

[frankrizzo]

Spinners getting smashed around and Rabada has only bowled 11 overs?

Faf used him terribly, almost like he just gave up on this game and decided to protect rabada, even sa best spinner in maharaj went at 4 an over this test but he just kept bowling spin at both ends even though rabada was much harder to score against.

 

[NSWCROW]

Oh Faf......


I did that once


NEVER AGAIN

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

De Bruyn at 3, Bavuma at 4. Really?

 

[frankrizzo]

It's keeping a bit low but they are making these balls look more unplayable than they are.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Nice old procession this.

Ed: and another.....7/70.

Ed ed: 8/70...

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

South Africa must have a bus to catch. 8/70

 

[frankrizzo]

Will be over by lunch they are getting rolled.

 

[Santana]

De Bruyn at 3, Bavuma at 4. Really?

Nothing to see here mate. Everything is just rosy. You're just hating!

Surely if you looked up ordinary in the dictionary you would see Bavuma's name there.

 

[Santana]

Looks like SA may just make it to lunch. Highest partnership of the innings between these two.

 

[Cleavy]

did the pitch flatten out again?

 

[Damon_3388]

2nd Test side and batting order for SA, IMO:

1. Dean Elgar
2. Aiden Markram
3. Quinton de Kock
4. Faf du Plessis (C)
5. Temba Bavuma
6. Heinrich Klaasen (+)
7. Senuran Muthasamy
8. Vernon Philander
9. Keshav Maharaj
10. Kagiso Rabada
11 . Lungi Ngidi

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

There's nothing a tailender likes more than scoring runs when the entire top order have failed miserably.

8. Vernon Philander
9. Keshav Maharaj
10. Kagiso Rabada
11 . Lungi Ngidi

Does seem a bit drastic to take the gloves off de Kock and move him up to three. I would think bringing in the presumed stable hand of van der Dussen straight to the top order is the option they'll go with. Also agree on Ngidi coming in for Piedt.

Poor South Africa, lost the toss again and have to bat last.

Don’t think it will be long until they throw away the toss and the away team gets to choose what they want to do first. Especially if the era of home dominance continues.

 

[corbies]

Agarwal with another hundred. He has looked incredibly assured in his short time in Test cricket so far.

South Africa's bowling again looking toothless apart from Rabada.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Agarwal looks a class act. Other countries are struggling to find openers to make double figures and India produce yet another one who makes 100s. Totally convinced Faf has NFI when it comes to captaincy. Graeme Smith seems to agree with me.

Someone made a good point on the cricinfo feedback today that I agree with. Up until the Sri Lankan series this year Faf has looked a very assured composed captain and tactically sound. Since that incredible loss he’s just been all over the place

 

[Barlos Crathwaite]

Wow. Dumb by rabada throwing the ball back at the keeper when no run was on but if De kock had said to me what he just said to rabada an inch away from the stump mic, he'd be assaulted

 

[Barlos Crathwaite]

The last thing the world needs to see is a white (or light cape coloured) south African talking to rabada like he's a slave. F##king disgraceful from de kock. I wish Warner had put you on your a#se last year you little racist w##ker

 

[Barlos Crathwaite]

That sort of nonsense tells you everything you need to know about South Africa and why quotas are here to stay unfortunately. You wonder what else is said behind closed doors

What did he say?

I couldn't hear it on the Fox coverage, it was bloody stupid of rabada to throw the ball away then whinge about it in the first place but I didn't hear anything racist and I haven't read reports on any other forum or news site of anything like that being said.

He told rabada, verbatim, don't you f##king talk to me like that boy, you f##king (sounded like doos) you get the f#ck off the field boy how dare you f##king talk that way to me, you shut your f##king mouth. Pretty sure that's exactly what was said. Rabada by that stage was trying to push past du plessis to get to qdk but faf pushed him back.

Granted it was moronic from rabada to throw the ball to qdk when the runout wasn't on and have a moan to the keeper about the batsmen getting a run but that was out of line. The way he cursed him and said boy reminded me very strongly of a Louis theroux doco where blacks get spoken to like absolute s##t over there

 

[frankrizzo]

Pretty shocking if he called rabada boy, surely he wouldn't be that stupid?
