India tour of South Africa, 2018

[Creag]

Do you okes find Radio 2000 irritating? While driving, it's usually your only link to the game. I just measured the time now, and just before tea, it took 6.5 minutes for them to actually mention the score. If it wasn't for the tea break, I might still be waiting.

Where is Charles...

You want commentary of cricket or the frolicking of the pigeons inside the ropes?

 

[Cius]

Depends on who is on the mic on radio2000. There are guys who never share the score, and others who are good. I find they have a wide variety of commentators and they seem to rotate them often.

At least in amongst the pigeon frolicking, you did get a score

 

[mercurial]

That's why their called Radio2000.

Neil Manthorpe is normally quite good, but he was the on air commentator when I wanted a score.

 

[WaxLyrical]

No one can match the wit of Neil Manthorp.

Others are meh.

Why haven't they taken the new ball? Bumrah and his skidders would surely be a more dangerous option? The Indians look to be more concerned with run-saving than taking wickets.

They don't want to leak runs. New ball goes quicker to the boundary.

yes...but 5 overs with the new ball might be enough to bowl us out instead of waiting for Faf to decide when he's had enough and declare. They want this to take as long as possible so they don't have long to bat to save the game.

Guess we know what colour undies Kohli wears...they're yellow.

I completely agree.

KG 8 245/8

 

[Dan C]

245/9

 

[Agent_Smith]

287 to win! I think that's an excellent target. It's challenging but gettable, the perfectly dangled carrot.

 

[pinball wizard]

Mighty Kohli can get half of that with one hand tied behind his back.

 

[Creag]

The idea of Ngidi taking a run off the second-last ball to take strike in the next over is :erm: Who were they trying to kid? I was cringing for the fella just reading the commentary.

 

[Dan C]

Nice KG, first one down

 

[Dan C]

Two down... Nice one Ngidi

 

[CUDlybunny]

It's all down to him now

 

[Dan C]

Three down ... Ngidi !!!

Kohli gone !!

Tsek, you arrogant plonk! Huistoe!
Woohoo!
