South Africa v India tests - Jan 2018

[Dr Cricket]

boom india gonna win this.

[meninblue]

90 runs lead. Advantage India. Another 80 runs and we will be massive favorites to win this.

[Arthur Crabtree]

90-3 doesn't suggest a wicket so dangerous the game should be called off.

[meninblue]

2 more. Keep them coming. Every run will hurt SA.

it is more of the uneven bounce.
also think the 90/3 is more because india are batting knowing they get 150-170 they win the game.
if they were trailing by lets say 50-60 runs then I doubt india would be 90/3 probably be all out now chasing the runs.
looks like the indian batsman are just waiting for the runs.
doesn't look a difficult pitch to survive on, but scoring runs is another matter.
is a wicket you don't expect lesser batsman to survive on though.

very good batting from Vijay a control factor of 81 is insane on this pitch.

[Dr Cricket]

interesting you can repair the cracks, and it needs both captain to agree to walk off for the game to be abandoned.
hard to see that happening, kohli will never come off now with india close to winning this game, tbh Faf won't call it off either considering what ever happens now one team will be close to a win.

no idea how they can repair the pitch.

[meninblue]

Last 2 balls before lunch.

[Dr Cricket]

Vijay gone well played man.
worth 50 on a normal pitch.
probably a match winning innings that.

[meninblue]

And Rabada strikes. Vijay bowled. Yorker.

Rabada gets Vijay for 25!

India 100-4 at lunch.

Kohli 27*

Slight advantage India IMHO....

[Dr Cricket]

they will repair the area of the pitch that the soil is coming off and when the ball is hitting the area it is exploding, apparently if the umpires can't fix that area the game could be called off.

Yes, advantage India.

Mike please do something about Indian flag smiley. I wanted to use it couple of times but it is missing.

[meninblue]

Players back on field post lunch. Lead of 93.

[Dr Cricket]

umpires couldn't repair the deck.
think it needs both captain to agree for the game to be called off now.
umpires could only offer the abandonment.

with the test on its final legs, hard to see both team agreeing to it either so we should get a result.

[meninblue]

4 for Virat.

100 runs lead with that 4.
