India v South Africa 2025 | 2nd Test | Guwahati | November 22-26 | Match Discussion

[sweep_shot]

Lead is now worth 332 runs.

Once South Africa's lead crosses 400, they should start slogging. Get that lead to 550 by Tea perhaps.

Indian getting hammered at home yet again..... Who would have thought that Kiwis would expose these guys and the floodgate will open afterwards.

good for cricket, a healthy cricket sports needs a meek and weak India for the time being

Shastri for a moment had his moment of excitement, then dampened :/

Indian fans were acting all arrogant last year. One user wrote India would dominate Test cricket for the next 50 years. They became humbled I guess.

Anyway, I was expecting India to decline after likes of Pujara, Kohli, and Rohit retired. They were the glues of Indian Test batting.

Once Bumrah, Siraj, and Kuldeep retire, I think they may decline further.

India have effectively become a mid-tier team in Test.

Agree.

It is always good for cricket and good for the world when India are on the back foot.

 

[Smbhayi]

Rickleton throw it away..

 

[CricVet]

1 out, 9 to go

 

[sweep_shot]

Lead is now worth 347 runs.

SA should set a target of 500 just to be safe.

 

[Smbhayi]

Rickleton throw it away..

Was going to post india set very defensive field set but brainfade from Rickleton get india a wicket..

 

[BouncerGuy]

Should bat for 2 sessions today... I think 4 sessions are enough to get India out

 

[Justcrazy]

SA is playing slow here , they need to take it on here , even if they get all out.

 

[CricVet]

Pitch is turning big at times. It is good going

 

[Ab Fan]

They can declare and win today itself. Pitch is turning big, you can see Jadeja picking wickets now. 200 is more than enough here.

 

[Justcrazy]

SA lead is 365 runs , 7 wickets in hand

 

[basitmian]

Is South Africa targeting 2-0 or 1-0?

 

[Ab Fan]

Stubbs can look to score a quick 30 here. Pitch won’t allow him to get a big one. It is up to SA if they want to bat long but there is no way India are saving this test. They would require a Amla-ABD type blockathan to save this test but not sure if they have in them and even those guys couldn’t save that test match.

 

[mango_bite77]

130 more declare the innings

 

[Justcrazy]

Lead 395 runs , they need to play fast and add another 50 quickly

 

[Justcrazy]

I do not think India will go for this total , they will look to draw. SA should declare and keep fielders in attacking position here.

 

[Devadwal]

Why they are not declared, india is not going to score over 200 here

 

[harshjoshi87]

Draw means losing by 0-1 margin better than 0-2 & losing more WTC points.

Hope the Indian batsman show some fighting spirit in the 2nd innings.

 

[Justcrazy]

408 runs lead so far , should not play more than 10 more overs
