India tour of South Africa, 2018

Yup, and one of those had to deal with a new ball...

Innings of the match so far, closely followed by Amla's!! Rabada's knock was akin to AB taking 5 wickets with his part time spin...

How many overs are left in the day?

What time is the close of play? 6pm? So around 25?

 

[Neoprod]

What time is the close of play? 6pm? So around 25?

Doubt we will get there... it's not too bright at the moment.

Expect Shastri and Kohli to kick up a fuss if India lose a wicket and the light isn't perfect.

First 8 balls and the batsman have yet to play a shot. Can't afford to waste the new ball. 9th ball Induces a shot.

 

[Creag]

This innings demands a fielder at 3rd man?

 

[sand_man]

Our openers have been poor so far. Come on man?!!

 

[sand_man]

Doesn't take Vern long and Patel is gone. Great catch Markram.

 

[BigAl-sa]

What a catch!

 

[sand_man]

Looking forward to the bowling change. Not sure Vern and KG have got the purchase one would have expected with the new ball. Let's see what Morne and Ngidi can do.

 

[BigAl-sa]

I would have tried Ngidi rather than Rabada as the opening bowler.

 

[sand_man]

Morne's first over also rubbish.

 

[BigAl-sa]

As things stand, India are ahead on the day (and probably the match).

Play should end at 17:00, with them going until up to 17:30 to make up the overs that should've been bowled.

 

[Drifter]

India up, will take a miracle for us to win from here. We wasted the new ball..............again.

Day 2: Stumps

IND 187, 49/1

India lead by 42 runs


grrr we needed two more wickets :twisted:

 

[3WA]

We’re ******. No chasing 150 on this pitch.

 

[WaxLyrical]

Series won, there's no motivation to stand in the hot sun the whole day and leave a red ball.

 

[3WA]

So rain today?

 

[Drifter]

Nope, maybe in the afternoon.
