South Africa v India tests - Jan 2018

[meninblue]

27/2.

These two are very capable batters. Hope they will guard the fort.

And Cheeku gone cheaply as well.

This series is going the way it was anticipated.batting flopping. Thank god we didnt bat in morning. Would have been 27/4 or 5. Some consolation at least this is.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Good start to comeback from the Superhuman Steyn.

SA returning the favour with the new ball that India served this morning.

[meninblue]

Talent walks in. The next is Saha. Some lead is expected but hope we dont give a 100 run lead or so.

[meninblue]

Great idea to ignore the practice match.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Wicket with MM's first ball. Crucial passage of play coming up before the close. No nightwatcher for India.

[meninblue]

Short leg is now there. Ominous signs.

Morkel with his first ball!

I am worried the scorecard of our batters will be like the telephone numbers.

How to get kohli out in seam friendly conditions

Good length sixth stump line, he fends at a ball he can leave and nicks it

His one weakness is that ball, doesn't matter on a flat wicket but you have a chance early against him on a bowler friendly wicket

[meninblue]

Rabada is back. Bolwing the speeds which he did in match versus Zimbos. Saffers are having so many strike bowlers. Also unlike in previous editions, Keshav is a update of Harris.

[backfootpunch]

Wonder if Steyn played in era of uncovered wickets. How much havoc he would have created.

Bowling average of 12 not 22

He's by far the best fast bowler I have ever seen and does it in all conditions

One of the best ever

He bowled superb even when he toured India on life less decks. The best pace bowler i have seen tour India.

Dissapointed end to the day for India, hopefully India get a score tomorrow.

Career strike rate of 41 is mind boggling

90 wickets at 22 in Asia is even more mind blowing

I'm just thankful the one team he has struggled against is England, we haven't suffered like other teams

286. I think we might concede a lead to them given this will be our first batting innings of series. Saffers are full strength in bowling department (Steyn, Rabada, Morkel).

Will be a pleasant surprise though if we manage to get a lead though.

Missed Philly there.

Not a pleasant surprise. Rather seems like a lead is now almost certain for Saffers. How much lead they take is upto Chet . If he goes early tomorrow we will concede a much bigger lead.
