Shaw is another home track bully hyped to no limit. Let him come back and tour in SENA conditions and he will be sorted out
Rohit, Agarwal, Kohli, Saha/Pant all can't play swing bowl. India will be exposed badly by Boult and co. We're already reeling from the epic thumping you guys gave us in semifinals
I would like to know more about the openers who can play swing well. I think you would have loved to see a dud like KL Rahul here instead?
There is a difference between praise and what Gavaskar and Manju are doing. Praise would be for his knock or his good shots, they are praising him to the moon for everything from how he talked in the end of day press conference to how he celebrated his century to his apparent selflessness in taking a 2.
No you wouldn't have been , the rain helped SA yesterday to give them a breather, but one big reason why saffers are struggling today is the ball is 60 overs old so it isn't swinging in the mornings which basically blunts the Pacers. If the whole day would have been played India would have crossed 300 but not more, they are bowling defensive lines which is what they would have done yesterday too, while the other 2 seem useless maharaja while toothless is atleast containing us. The pacers would have had the same role yesterday in 3rd session.My hunch was 352/3 after day 1 - at first sight of the track & Sunny Bhai isn’t these modern “analyst” who prepares pitch report before watching the wicket
It’s 248-0 after 71 overs - theoretically, if I take 90 overs per day (SAF probably would have bowled couple more - bowled 30 in first session), it’s 248-0, after 71 overs on a rain soaked out field .... but no wickets down - probably, I would have been within 3-5% accuracy level had the full day been played yesterday on a dry out field.
I don’t comment much on The Royal version of the game, but on Test cricket, if I do write something, pay attention bro. Not many there to watch a neutral game at 1am in the morning, in the middle of the working week
300 runs opening partnership
Indian bowling not there. Pakistan has FOUR notable appearances
This is a flat road, elgar will be thrashed.
Hehe yesterday you called it a spin pitch. After watching Saffer spinners getting murdered, it has now become a flat pitch eh?
Green mamba when Ishant and shami bowl and 7th day dustbowl when ash and jadeja bowl. Will instantly go back to being Autobahn when we bat again though.

Indian batsmen scoring in india didn't come into the account but don't know why??
