South Africa (159 & 153) thrash India (189 & 93) by 30 runs in the first Test match to lead the 2-match series 1-0

[kron]

Gambir needs to be executed

Actual bauna lmao

Get lost from test cricket

 

[kron]

Finger spinners more lethal in this era than ever. Every country will keep couple of quality finger spinners just to explode on Indian pitches.

Also Indian batsmen just trash vs spin

Cause you know why? They don’t play Ranji

Too good for it

Well some did and still struggle

Jaiswal and Rahul are just mental midgets

Openers need to set the tone

Useless twits always end up putting pressure on middle order

 

[Ab Fan]

Maybe i am in the 1 percent of indians who do not diss off players like Babar azam then...

Me too. I called him, “one of the greatest in 150 years of cricket history”.

Hope that’s not called dishing out.

 

[sweep_shot]

India are losing.

-

 

[Ab Fan]

It is really fun watching these types of matches. But these pitches should be produced once in a while, not this regularly.

 

[Ab Fan]

This might be the game lost. Pant OUT.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

On flat decks still?
When has he stepped up on seaming tracks or turning tracks like today

so then every wicket taken by every bowler in that series is a diamond world class wicket taken? cmon mate...

Only Sundar and Pant are clutch. Pant is gone so that’s the game here for SA.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Harmer really harming india ...
gotta admire the guy, worked hard in domestics , came back improved, determined and seems to be enjoiying living his dream

 

[kron]

so then every wicket taken by every bowler in that series is a diamond world class wicket taken? cmon mate...

Why are you digressing lol

Point was gill is a phattu and sucks vs quality seam and spin

That’s it. He should stick to ranji.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

He got dropped twice too don’t forget.

Why shoud any one remember or forget, any one who scores a 100 coming in at 0/2 irrespective of conditions had made a clutch effort...you have the problem of recentness and the obvious bias

 

[Devadwal]

Just checked the scoreboard. Wow South Africa are winning this match.

20+ over and they didn't even score 40. Very timid batting.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

India are losing.

-

Where's your mate...the bhagoda virus....have'nt seen him since the Windies series or after the 'el classico' hype of the AC...Bhaag gaya or will make an appearance to put the boot in later...?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

These two are Indians most reliable batsmen. Need to make a partnership here

 

[RexRex]

Washington will end up as one of the great allrounders by the time he retires.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Not looking good for india, last recog pair at the crease - Cmon Axe - Washy!

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Not looking good for india, last recog pair at the crease - Cmon Axe - Washy!

Is Gill definitely not batting?

 

[JibranAnsari]

Very good bowler is harmer, south africa have someone who can give them bowling impetus in these conditions.

 

[Devadwal]

Washi gone so is match for india.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Is Gill definitely not batting?

What happened to Gill?

 

[Smbhayi]

In to tail now.. still 50+ needed.. india gonna loose.. deserved it for choosing this kind of pitches..

 

[Sunny_majoka]

In to tail now.. still 50+ needed.. india gonna loose.. deserved it for choosing this kind of pitches..

Not the first time India got the taste of their own medicine

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Is Gill definitely not batting?

i think he was hospitalized - as per media reports

 

[DeadlyVenom]

What happened to Gill?

He had a neck spasm and then went to hospital. I think he got stretchered off but it must be serious as he hasn't been seen and as @CrIc_Mystique says he could be hospitalised.

 

[RexRex]

What happened to Gill?

Strained his neck playing a sweepshot.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

terrific bowlign by markram, terrific catch by harmer, good innings by Washy comes to an end....Must give kudos to Saf , wonderful fighting sprit shown to reach this stage...

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Uft what a ball LOL

 

[tiger_khan]

Batting skills also deteriote a lot..

Yes but batters should get a pass on pitches like this one

This was always going to be match between the bowlers of the two teams

 

[Sunny_majoka]

SENA teams are no longer walk over on doctored Asian spin pitches,

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Looks Plumb

 

[Smbhayi]

India need to hit out if they want to win lol..

 

[DeadlyVenom]

SENA teams are no longer walk over on doctored Asian spin pitches,

South Africa are the only ones.

I don't see England or Aussies being able to play the way the Saffers have. They have played surprisingly tough cricket against Pakistan and here against India too.

 

[Josh]

Well deserved loss incoming for creating such a **** pitch. Eng series pitches were perfect and India has bowlers to take wickets even on typical Indian wickets but Gambhir has total messed up test match strategy

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

He had a neck spasm and then went to hospital. I think he got stretchered off but it must be serious as he hasn't been seen and as @CrIc_Mystique says he could be hospitalised.

as per media reports he was hospitalized yesterday, but dont know about today...commies did say if requried he can come out to bat but it was more speculative than definative

 

[tiger_khan]

I honestly think Gill's injury although was unfortunate but I don't think that he would have been useful on this pitch

Only one 50 in 4 innings

It's better for him to avoid an embarrassment

If India loses this game, at least the Indian fans will have reason to convince themselves that things could have been different

 

[AAli98]

Bcci cheerleaders Shastri & bhudda gavaskar can barely get a word out.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

looks like going to be AO < 100....

Hoping the other match tonight will bring some cheer to indian fans...

Keeper saying 'Oh, Simon..!" every second delivery....itna to uska wife ne bhi nahi boli hogi

 

[DeadlyVenom]

But big boundary.

Left armer coming round the wicket to the leftie. Was bound to happen

 

[Smbhayi]

Not the first time India got the taste of their own medicine

Hope this time they learned their lessons.. these kind of pitches brings opposition bowlers in to the game

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Complete phudo level bowling LMAO

 

[Energy]

As usual. Maharaj at your service.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Much better coming over the wicket

 

[Energy]

Maharaj will be the spin bowling coach for an IPL franchise soon.

 

[globetrotter]

This match is looks like fixed

 

[Energy]

This catch by Bavuma is high class. Maharaj not happy ofcourse.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Skipper takes it!

Indians silenced!

What a brilliant action packed over.

 

[TheSultan]

LOL - cheers Axar!

 

[tiger_khan]

LOL through out the entire game Gavaskar was saying that it doesn't matter whether the batsmen are left handed or right handed. it should not impact the selection of bowlers

Now he is saying that this over will make or break because Maharaj is bowling into Axar

 

[Smbhayi]

Should've started to hit out when Kuldeep in the crease..SA one wicket away to win..

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

So South Africa do not really care about IPL contracts

 

[Devadwal]

Bauna kah ke tune mera meme bana diya,
Mehnat Kar ke tere Bhai ne Pura Dream Bana Diya.

Congratulations South Africa for well deserved victory.

They are truly World champion of test cricket.

 

[RexRex]

Gill will bat if required, according to Shastri.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Siraj gone!!!!

Oh my

 

[Smbhayi]

Gone.. lost.. hahaha

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Wonderful victory to Saf!

 

[Ahmed216]

Best team is the world


@Devadwal @saimayubera @Sachin fan

 

[RexRex]

lol .. this is embarrassing. India deserve this for their rampant pitch fixing.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

@Rajdeep @Devadwal will be happy even though India lost Maharaj got the wickets at the end

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

That shows pakistan played well to draw the series vs south africa india has been joke they deserve this humiliation

 

[Smbhayi]

All hail lord Bavuma..

 

[AAli98]

Where is India’s 10th batsman? In the toilet ?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

That shows pakistan played well to draw the series vs south africa india has been joke they deserve this humiliation

We got humiliated too bro.

Egg on face for the pitch tamperers in Asia.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Toss jeeto match jeeto

 

[globetrotter]

Match fixed .....

 

[Ahmed216]

Match winning fifty from the diminutive Bavuma showed India their aukaat

 

[Smbhayi]

We got humiliated too bro.

Egg on face for the pitch tamperers in Asia.

These kind of pitches are lottery game.. win the toss, win the game..

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

We got humiliated too bro.

Egg on face for the pitch tamperers in Asia.

But we only lost because of tail otherwise we were well on our way winning that series where as india played 4 spinners still got humiliated.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

These kind of pitches are lottery game.. win the toss, win the game..

I always get happy when the house loses in a casino.

 

[globetrotter]

Bring back RO-KO

 

[RidiculousMan]

Not every team can beat WTC Winners at home

 

[kron]

What a joke of a team

Execute the bauna Gambir

Get lost.

Sack all chokers in the team

Start with gill
Jaiswal for home games
Drop loldeep
And rahul

Bring on new faces. Begone with the trash.

 

[Devadwal]

Have to say GG end india home dominance. First vs NZ now against South Africa

 

[tiger_khan]

When Pak fans were saying that SA were getting a valuable experience playing Pakistan before the Indian tour,

the Indian fans were given lectures that India is the best team and their pitches are not similar to Pakistan. India will beat Sa with hands down

 

[RidiculousMan]

This game is the reason why I don't rate Jadeja as the GOAT all rounder. On this pitch any spinner becomes deadly.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Lol...height difference between Jansen and Bavuma - when they embraced...he's not even upto his shoulder... and i mean that in a nice way - not depreciating

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

India got why they deserved they doctor the pitches where as pakistan pitches were standard test pitches and they still lost india just thought lets roll a spin pitch but forgot south africa got harmer that man has 1000 first class wickets you got what you deserved india

 

[psyoptica]

SA is a quality team. Indians think can they doctor pitches and roll over SA but they’re in for a big surprise

Called it

 

[Aqib_mustafa]

Not every team can beat WTC Winners at home

Bro we were almost there in second match it's just rabbada came and started smashing our bowlers otherwise pakistan played much better cricket than what india has done with 4 spinners we almost were winning 2 nil india might loose 2 nil now

 

[BouncerGuy]

Start writing the excuses now

 

[globetrotter]

Gill is panouti
