India vs South Africa | 1st Test | Mohali | 5th-9th November | Match Thread | India won by 108 runs

[sensible-indian-fan]

Losing 2 wickets to a part timer in 3 overs.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Elgar isn't a genuine all rounder, but still he is getting wickets. SA should be careful against Indian spinners while batting.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

We are giving wickets to bloody Dean Elgar of all people and there I was relieved that Morne is not playing. Pathetic from us.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Vijay don't get out before hundred

 

[Aman]

102/5 lol

 

[battler]

Elgar 3-1-5-2

Indians

Indians - Making ordinary spinners look world class since 2012

 

[#GreenRoars]

Elgar on hat trick, don't know what is wrong with Indian batting line up

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lol india gifting wickets to a part timer. Your batting lineup isnt deep enough. Jadeja at 7

 

[IndianWillow]

Just tuned into this match. Shocking to say the least. There used to be a time when India at home was synonymous with a 400+ score. Now these guys can't score even at home. If Kohli is in this form, India may get thrashed in this series.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Sir Dean Elgar. What a shambolic display by our lineup. Steyn should take a holiday and prepare for the England series instead. SA part timers are enough.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Whattay way to get half century Vijay, superb player

 

[battler]

Ashwin will kill South Africa here [MENTION=134809]sensible-indian-fan[/MENTION]

 

[ChachaCricket]

Lol Dean Elgar out of all people. Another Moeen in the making?

We have to play Rohit

I don't think so

 

[battler]

I don't think so

Except Amla he will. Look at their batting.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

SA must be kicking themselves in frustration here. Tahir should have made way for an extra batsman.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Dean Elgar taking wickets. Wow.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Except Amla he will. Look at their batting.

SA won't throw it away in a test match. They didn't crumble in the UAE or in SL against Ajmal/Herath. They'll scrap bloody hard. This collapse against Elgar by us is pathetic. Steyn hasn't even found rhythm and pace yet. We need to play out of our skins here.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Ashwin will kill South Africa here [MENTION=134809]sensible-indian-fan[/MENTION]

Whats the use with this kind of PATHETIC performance.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Looks its not Moeen or Elgar.

Its US.

US. US. US.

 

[jabarjabar]

Vijay all class. Shame if he doesn't get a century here.

 

[Bilal7]

Yaar, India ko kya hogaya hai? First Ali and now Elgar. I can only imagine what Yasir Shah would do to them on their own pitches.

Great captaincy from Amla too.

 

[Statsman]

Elgar Ali dismantling India.

Leg spin against us is useless no matter how good Yasir is.

 

[jabarjabar]

Even Vijay's bat looks old-fashioned and classic.

 

[Pantani]

Not like India to crumble against part time spin

 

[Pantani]

Leg spin against us is useless no matter how good Yasir is.

Part timer Zulfi will be enough

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Leg spin against us is useless no matter how good Yasir is.

Yes, let's keep saying that to ourselves.

If not Yasir, then a washed up Zulfi will do the trick on us.

If not Zulfi, then someone else.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Tahir is on now, Jadeja will throw his wicket.

 

[Haroon786]

Leg spin against us is useless no matter how good Yasir is.

We'll see about that once the BCCI finally conjure up the guts to tour us in the UAE.

Looks like you don't have to worry about UAE tour.

Its us who have to worry.

 

[battler]

Because kohli has been pathetic.

 

[IndianWillow]

India can't play spinners well at this time. Yasir Shah will indeed rip through this side, leg spinner or not.

 

[Haroon786]

Looks like you don't have to worry about UAE tour.

Its us who have to worry.

Ashwin will bundle SA for under a 100.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Only Kohli is not responsible bhai. All have performed poor except Vijay

 

[Pantani]

Why single out Kohli, Dhawan also failed, and so did Pujara and Rahane and Saha. Just because he's the best batsman in the team doesn't mean he should be held responsible alone when pretty much everyone else fails to score big runs, too.

 

[#GreenRoars]

Vijay

 

[Varun]

We're done for now.

 

[Bilal7]

How in the world will India survive a world-class leggie if they can't survive against decent at best, offies? The only reason India haven't been owned by a leggie yet is that apart from Yasir, all the other leggies since Warne have been rubbish.

 

[Abhilash93]

Lol Dean Elgar out of all people. Another Moeen in the making?

lol exactly what I was thinking

 

[Bilal7]

However, I can see the South Africans not getting a lot of runs here either.

 

[LastManstanding]

Mishraji is our last hope to post a decent total.

 

[Pantani]

India need to crab together another 60 odd runs here. They can't limply fold to 150 all out.

 

[LastManstanding]

Stop reverse jinxing our team.

 

[Arsal_AK]

6 down?? What in the world??

When I tunned out Pujara and Vijay were going along nicely.

What happened??

 

[Arsal_AK]

Just checked the scorecard.

Dean Elgar of all people.

 

[Indian_Supporter]

Huh? Why is Mishra batting ahead of Ashwin?

[Justcrazy]

Mishra has really worked on his batting.

 

[Bilal7]

Rabada is a poor fielder by South African standards.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Wow Indian batsmen showing what world class players of spin they are )

 

[Bilal7]

Stop reverse jinxing our team.

Don't believe in jinxes.

 

[Justcrazy]

Seven down

 

[Bilal7]

Dean Elgar will take at least 15 wickets in this series.

 

[battler]

And another bites the dust and another one bites the dust la la la
Remembering Queen's lyrics.

 

[Zak_Fan]

Mishra

This match will be over in 2.5 days.

 

[Abhilash93]

Mishraji throws away his wicket to a nothing ball though tbf stepping out to spinners & attacking them worked for him in SL. Too early to do that probably.

 

[Indian_Supporter]

Mishra ji out...Elgar got 4.

Ahahhahahah....this is gold comedy )

Not just him. All.

 

[Justcrazy]

200 will be a good total , India have three good spinners , will not be easy for SA

 

[90MPH]

Elgar is a buffet bowler, how did he get 4 wickets.

 

[Adil_94]

Ashwin will be a beat on this track. If Elgar is troubling Indian batsmen

South Africa proving again that they are the best Touring Test Team to India (Way better than Australia and more consistent than England)

Indians are bad against spin.

No need to overhype them.

Very poor shots, over confidence against a buffet bowler.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

This is the same team that used to destroy every spinner landing at home.

Barring Saqlain in 1999.

Bro first Moeen now Elgar wth. Indian batsmen used to murder spin like no other. Why have standards of playing spin dropped. Young Indian bats seem much more comfortable against pacers than spinners. Have the think tank given too much preference to overseas tours. And forgotten on teaching them the art of playing spin.

SA need to wrap up this.

It will be tough batting here , each run crucial.

 

[Slog]

Is this a rank turner?

 

[Adil_94]

Peak Sehwag would have put Elgar 10 rows back.
