Rohit sure likes that South African bowling.

Likes probably only in non swing conditions.

[mikesiva]

Rahane out for 115.

Ngidi bowling average looking a bit more normal now.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Rohit sure likes that South African bowling.

Likes probably only in non swing conditions.

I think he played in SA and didn't do so well. Double ton here though.

Rohit did bat better than Shikhar, Rahul and Vijay on SA tour.

[meninblue]

Brilliant 212 by Rohit. Was nice to watch him s ire all of those at ODI SR of 82.

Ajinkya played well too.

Umesh playing a cameo of 31 runs from 10 balls hitting George Linde for 5 sixers in 8 balls. Wonderful clean hits.

India 495/9.

[meninblue]

India declare at 497/9.

[meninblue]

Early break through for India as Shami dismisses in form Elgar 2nd ball of the innings. SA 4/1.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Must be hard for SA to lift themselves for this.

[mikesiva]

Linde 4-133
Rabada 3-85

[sussexpob]

Rohit did bat better than Shikhar, Rahul and Vijay on SA tour.

Averaged 14 in 4 tests, so I dont think he can brag much about that.

Hint of swing in the air or a tiny bit of pace in a pitch for a bowler to dig it in short, Rohit looks like a walking wicket. Slow, low and no swing, he looks like Bradman.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Odd experiment with QDK opening doesn't pay out.

[meninblue]

Umesh strikes with a bouncer. Quinton out for 4 runs.

SA 8/2.
