SA tour of India - 2015

[Creag]

Great news for KG. The fact that we may have to bat last on this pitch with a slightly longer tail than usual is a concern. Must remain positive though.

[MickeyD]

Unlikely wicket taker!!

Pujara LBW Elgar 31

 

[MickeyD]

Cannot keep Elgar out of the game...

Kohli ct Elgar b Rabada

Huge wicket!!!

 

[Wall]

RABADA YOU BEAUTY!!!!!!!!!

 

[phoneJunky]

Good first wicket for Rabada to get

 

[Creag]

The two wickets change the first session. And a HUGE shout out to KG for his first on tons of wickets. Great start for the lad.

Elgar in the team and 2 spinners is just crazy. Bavuma would have been a better fit to the team.

nah, if we want to beat India we've got to bowl em out cheaply. We can't get ground into dust and try hope our batsman can score.


I think its the right decision.

you should follow the last day of the Eng v Pak match. It's going to be cracking finish, one way or the other.

Disastrous start for Injah.

seriously?

 

[MickeyD]

seriously?

Yep, this is not pajama cricket.

 

[Wall]

Yep, this is not pajama cricket.

I actually applaud the decision. Test cricket needs to remain pure. It can't get infected with a T20 mentality....

Yep, this is not pajama cricket.

Then why did they let Malinga play with a mop on his head?

 

[Wall]

Talking of the purity of cricket - what's your guys feeling on the Aus - NZ day night test on 27 November?

Do you agree with it?

I'm in two minds to be fair and I suppose I'll back the trial run of it. test cricket does need more followers!

Because a towel would not be politically correct...
