South Africa v India tests - Jan 2018

Bumrah gets his fourth wicket! Phehlukwayo out for nine.

TBH with batting expected to get tougher as the game goes on, I would think SA need a lead around 50 or 60 to be in pole position, Think india are in the driving seat if they bat well here.
150 could be defended here.
think india slightly ahead here.

South africa 194 all out.

Bumrah 5-54

Well done to Jas. Good to see our 4th choice bowler getting a 5fer. The pace bowling quality has definitely been the best ever.

SA need to restrict us under 182. Anything over that will be a challenging chase for them. If we post 182 i will back us as favorites to win this test.

like arthur said in the first day, a chance for an indian batsman to get an all time special indian century here.
Any century for india wins the game for them I reckon.

[Dr Cricket]

if parthiv opens, I actually like the idea, the left and right combo might make it harder for the bowlers to get the lines or lengths correct, might be worth few runs if they bowl some bad balls because of it.

Philly is moving the ball. Hope our openers put some contribution on this tour. This is the final innings for them to do so.

What is good to see is that the bowlers of both the teams have exploited the green mambas that South African curators have provided in this series.

Pappu coming as night watchman. Obviously Rahul and Vijay weren't doing the roles of night watchman well in this series. We needed to try another night watchman for sure

[meninblue]

Trailing by 3 runs now. Wipe the deficit without giving a wicket.

[meninblue]

Lead by 1. Here starts the counting. Every run like drop of blood.

[Dr Cricket]

as expected the left handedness been causing problems for the bowlers to adjust for their line.
good move by kohli to make patel open.

[meninblue]

Will be great last two days tomorrow and day after...if at all it goes into day 5.

Republic day tomorrow and then the weekend. Hope Indian fans get something to celebrate on this tour.

[meninblue]

Nightwatchman gone. Another nightwatchman opener will walk in.

The batting starts with Chet and ends at Virat. Then it again starts and ends with Bhuvi.
