South Africa v India tests - Jan 2018

[Dr Cricket]

Screw that even kl Rahul would catch that, should give him the gloves if Saha Injurd and played extra batsman lol.

Massive session though since sa could win the game here.
100 plus Runs here and they win easily probably.

Over reaction by Virat. Come on everyone who has played with season ball knows wet ball is problematic for bowlers, but to go on and on is just not helping him concentrate. Not a good mindset to be in when waiting for a catch, especially when he is slip fielder. At other times we are benefited by such rain. Don't think anyone complained when whole day it was raining in 1st test. Certainly not me.

Saurav Ganguly was a good captain in this situations.

Hows the pitch holding up? is it going to be tough batting on day 5?

Yuppie, imo the way our team is batting we will depend on Virat again. He is the only specialist batsman who has looked confident on this tour. Anything over 250 and i will say South Africa are favorites. 300 will be game over imo. If we manage to chase 250 we will need at least 2 specialist batsmen scoring good innings. I am not sure who the second batsman will be. More than the condition our batters have been destroyed in their minds. Suddenly the terrific form that all our batters had in home season is deserted. Now fish out of water situation this is.

Bad light stopped play, Yayyy !!

[Dr Cricket]

Kohli would be happy with the bad light, could have gotten messy that.

[mikesiva]

AB got his half-century before bad light....

[yuppie]

And Kholi goes straight to the referees office.

He might be taking Anderson title as the biggest whinger in world cricket.

[Dr Cricket]

Lol Kohli complaining about India coming off, he should happy with that lol.

Had to comeback after interruption i see, but still didnt the interruption hamper his concentration. Well played to him.

This partnership is now 87 runs from 142 balls.

Bad time for rain if we think about broadcasters. Most Indian viewers will be watching the third session only and it's rained in that very session.

We have certainly batted well in this test as compared to first one. Warmup would have helped. Think the third test match will be the one wherein 2 or 3 of our specialist batters will strike form due to being relatively better adapted to the wickets and conditions by then.

From the little i have seen from this pitch, the Indian bats should not have to many issues.
