India (153 & 80/3) defeat South Africa (55 & 176) by 7 wickets to draw the series 1-1

[MANU ROY]

This happening all because kl drop catch

 

[MANU ROY]

Some hundred this

 

[Croma]

444444444444444444

100

 

[Devadwal]

Hundred for Markram .take a Bow

 

[AMSS]

India not chasing anything over 75.

 

[Croma]

Brainless Bowling from Bumrah..

should bowl yorkers and keep Markram on strike...

 

[Champ_Pal]

Lol no . anything below 150 india is favourite .this pitch only can better from here.

Indian batting is paper thin.After top4, it is all tail.

So SA just needs to get a couple of wickets at the top with the new ball and India will be gasping for air.

 

[Romali_rotti]

I still see potential in Prasidh, hos bowling action and bounce he gets is similar to Shane Bond..


But this game may have slipped away from the Indians...

 

[Human786]

game done & dusted ....

 

[Swashbuckler]

KL dropped this test. Mentally weakest player ever.

 

[Croma]

Rabada can leave all of Prasidh's deliveries. All comfortably far from the wickets

 

[Croma]

Maiden.

Cant wait to see Markram smash whoever bowls next over

 

[Croma]

I bet Rohit is getting nightmare of WC finals, when Head smashed the souls out of all the Indian bowlers.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Prasidh means famous. But this guy is opposite of it. He wishes he never got selected in the Indian team.

 

[deltexas]

KL Rahul just dropped Markram, sitter.

And that's why lol ! That's exactly what I meant. Catching was really good as well until klrahul. Klrahul is such a mental midget. Buckles every single time under pressure. And markram will make ind pay now

 

[Human786]

OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[Croma]

4444444444444444

Markram is destroying India

 

[Croma]

MARKRAM OUT!

 

[James]

Incredible effort from Markram.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Finally siraj brother gets Markram.

 

[deltexas]

And that's why lol ! That's exactly what I meant. Catching was really good as well until klrahul. Klrahul is such a mental midget. Buckles every single time under pressure. And markram will make ind pay now

And as I type this - markram holes out! Beauty of the game..

 

[Croma]

Was great while it lasted. One of the all-time great innings on a treacherous pitch

 

[Croma]

Yes Rohit. You should have brought SIraj long back before Mukesh or Prasidh

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Selfish from Markram. Needed runs

 

[Champ_Pal]

With Markram gone, Badnam Krishna can be brought back.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

one of the all time greatest innings

 

[Croma]

With Markram gone, Badnam Krishna can be brought back.

He wasnt taken off, he is still bowling.

ANd he gets Rabada!

 

[Champ_Pal]

Badnam gets a wicket

 

[Croma]

both catches to Rohit...

 

[Savak]

India's first innings lead and the knocks played by Rohit, Gill and Kohli have won them the game.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Great 100 by Markram, I have never seen him.go past 20 runs in an innings vs Indians till now.. Bit of luck on his side today but top quality innings nevertheless

 

[deltexas]

Prasidh is such a brainless bowler. Doesn't matter if he takes 1 or 2 wickets here- he's utter tripe

 

[Devadwal]

I can see few fan's heart are broken with those last two wickets

 

[Swashbuckler]

Sooner KL is discarded, better. No need of so many mental midgets.

 

[Croma]

164-9

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Tough yes but not unplayable. Not a 55 track. Or a 155 one. Batsmen didn't apply themselves here..

36, 49, 45,47 all out happened on easier tracks and a couple of those lineups were definitely stronger than the Saffer lineup. . 29 wickets before lunch on day 2? It's a ridiculous pitch

 

[Croma]

Sooner KL is discarded, better. No need of so many mental midgets.

No chance of it happening any time soon.

 

[MP2011]

We are carrying so many passengers in all formats. Its a miracle that we win as many games as we do.

No wonder, these mentally fragile cricketers almost always come cropper at crunch time

 

[Croma]

how hard is it to bowl at the wickets?

 

[Croma]

I think SIraj wants to hit Burger on the body with a bouncer

 

[MP2011]

Rohit is such a poor test captain.

 

[Swashbuckler]

We are carrying so many passengers in all formats. Its a miracle that we win as many games as we do.

No wonder, these mentally fragile cricketers almost always come cropper at crunch time

If we don't wake up, huge reality check coming up in Australia later this year. 5 test series, no escape.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Any pacer that cannot terrorize a batsman on this wicket must seriously consider his trade. You just have to bowl at good length and the pitch is doing the rest for you.

Badnam and Mukesh are not international quality. Total hacks. They can play ipl and get smashed there and no one notices their mediocrity.

 

[MP2011]

If we don't wake up, huge reality check coming up in Australia later this year. 5 test series, no escape.

Despite winning 2 consecutive series there, I'm already getting shivers about the prospect of these hacks playing in Australia.

They'll be mercilessly hacked there.

 

[Croma]

If we don't wake up, huge reality check coming up in Australia later this year. 5 test series, no escape.

India need Shami to be fit.
India HAS to bring Sundar somehow.

By the way, Pandya, has he retired from Tests?

 

[MP2011]

Guys like Jadeja are past their best for so long now but still commands an automatic place in all formats whenever he pleases.

 

[deltexas]

Sooner KL is discarded, better. No need of so many mental midgets.

Haven't seen a bigger mental midget than this klrahul guy. Cant believe he keeps playing all formats for ind. And he's being made captain as well - oh the irony! No wonder ind chokes in all crucial and ko games- having mental midgets like him

 

[Champ_Pal]

Sooner KL is discarded, better. No need of so many mental midgets.

He is India’s second best batsman. He may be mentally weak, but until India finds someone better than him, he stays.

 

[Croma]

ROHIT
_______
GILL
VIRAT
_______
RAHUL
PANDYA?
BUMRAH
SHAMI
SIRAJ
_______

Need to find 3 gun players for AUstralia.

 

[MP2011]

Prasidh still leaking runs

 

[Croma]

Burger slaps Prasidh with a boundary

 

[Champ_Pal]

Even Burger is smashing Badnam.

 

[Kaptan]

Even Burger is smashing Badnam.

Getting smashed by a number 11 batsman.

 

[deltexas]

Despite winning 2 consecutive series there, I'm already getting shivers about the prospect of these hacks playing in Australia.

They'll be mercilessly hacked there.

And pace attack being led by prasidh and Thakur lol ! Even the aus tailenders will hammer them

 

[Swashbuckler]

India need Shami to be fit.
India HAS to bring Sundar somehow.

By the way, Pandya, has he retired from Tests?

Pandya has made himself unavailable for tests. He has his priorities messed up.

 

[Swashbuckler]

He is India’s second best batsman. He may be mentally weak, but until India finds someone better than him, he stays.

Test average of 32 or 33. Jadeja is a better test batsman than him.

 

[deltexas]

He is India’s second best batsman. He may be mentally weak, but until India finds someone better than him, he stays.

Biggest choker and mental midget of all time. Ind has way better batsmen- they need to get a chance. Nobody is irreplaceable.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Guys like Jadeja are past their best for so long now but still commands an automatic place in all formats whenever he pleases.

Zero contribution in this test, in fact he has misfielded a couple of times.

 

[Croma]

Lead now 76

 

[Champ_Pal]

Test average of 32 or 33. Jadeja is a better test batsman than him.

He is much improved now. The last 1 year has been great for him. His keeping has also been top class apart from the miss he had today.

 

[Croma]

Zero contribution in this test, in fact he has misfielded a couple of times.

Let him open instead of Jaiswal

 

[Suleiman]

Indian fielding is on par with SENA teams for the last 2 or so decades.

We’re still stuck in the 80s-90s standards. No dives to save 4s let alone regulation catches

 

[Kaptan]

Bring back Bhumrah, in bacho se na hopaega.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Biggest choker and mental midget of all time. Ind has way better batsmen- they need to get a chance. Nobody is irreplaceable.

Who is better than KL? Would like to know their names.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Rohit forced to bring back Bumrah.

 

[Croma]

I want to see one yorker

 

[deltexas]

Who is better than KL? Would like to know their names.

As for keeper batsmen- ishan kishan and sanju samson for starters. None of them have got close to even one fourth of the chances that klrahul has received

 

[Swashbuckler]

Prasidh's last international match hopefully. Bumrah and Siraj being overstretched.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Lead is now of 78 runs. Lead pass 100 will make it interesting.

 

[Croma]

ALL OUT

6-fer for Bumrah

 

[Croma]

79 to win after lunch

 

[Devadwal]

6fer for bumrah.
India need 79 to win the match and level the series .
I predicted before the match that india win this test and level the series

 

[Champ_Pal]

Jaiswal is a terrific slip catcher.

 

[Swashbuckler]

Jaiswal is a crazy good slip catcher, as good as Rahane. Even Gill is decent.

 

[BouncerGuy]

It should be a walk in the park for India.

 

[Champ_Pal]

SA can fancy their chances.

Rohit and Jaiswal must come out in aggressive mood. A quick fire 30 from each should seal the deal.

 

[deltexas]

It's like pak needs ind slip fielders and ind needs pak tailender batsmen!

 

[deltexas]

It should be a walk in the park for India.

Cmon bro be honest lol! In your inner heart you are hoping for a big ind collapse and loss

 

[Champ_Pal]

As for keeper batsmen- ishan kishan and sanju samson for starters. None of them have got close to even one fourth of the chances that klrahul has received

I am taking about Tests.

KL is middle order batsman now. Ishan is an opener or 1 down batsman.
Samson is a bigger mental midget than KL.

 

[BouncerGuy]

South Africa is all out for 176 having a lead of just 78 runs. I do not see India losing this one from here.
