What a boring match.

This is awesome stuff.... Steyn and Philander vs Indian flat track bullies ....
I hope we cross 275 at least

 

[Xoib]

Kohli and Pujara are head and shoulders above the rest of Indian batting. India has the 2 best young batsmen in the world. So jealous.

 

[Robert]

Steyn's back with a bang.....

 

[prayas]

Most overs bowled by old ball India vs WI
185 overs with that ball

A boring four.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Rahane pulls steyn for a :4

 

[mithun_minhas]

I knew Rohit will be a massive failure on this tour.

 

[Saeed]

We need exciting wickets, no wonder nobody watches test cricket.

 

[prayas]

I also know that Mumbaikar will failure at this tour

 

[mithun_minhas]

Wicket Falls = Pitch has some venom, offering movement

Wicket does not fall = Pitch flat as a pancake.

 

[Anuj25]

SA making them play almost every ball.. Nice tactics

Rahane looks very compact . Has all the shots in the book.

Needs one big knock

 

[leatherface58]

Class shot by Rahane. Beginning to flow well.

Rohit is lazy. He is very vulnerable in his first 15-20 balls. Poor judgement outside off and pokes at everything. But once he settles down, he will look like a monster.

Against quality bowling, he will get lots of good balls in the first 20 balls he faces and its only a matter of time he nicks one or shows poor judgement and leaves one.

This is vintage test cricket!

 

[amax]

I think smith should have continued with the old ball the way it was reverse swinging late. there is not much conventional swing happening with the new ball.

 

[Anuj25]

Steyn at his best

Yeah, that is why we should have gone with a bowler in this match.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

He may not be as skilled as Kohli and Pujara but he is hanging in there and showing a lot of heart Ajinkya. Are you watching this Nohit?

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Drinks brk .... 245/ 4


5 overs of new ball negotiated ... 3 more overs of cautious batting needed

 

[cricketindiafan]

Top quality cricket.

World's two best bowlers vs our two youngsters

If one of them gets out, SA would run through the lower middle order.

 

[majiz]

Yawnn hope Sa take some more wickets cause India sure as hell aren't going to make a game of this

But Phitrundler is useless with the old ball.

We will see

 

[Saeed]

Agreed.

 

[Romali_rotti]

I cant help but notice how much Kohli reminds me of Ponting from the head knods, to the shots and even similar facial expressions...

 

[battler]

Disdain from kohli
Steyn pwned!
U go son!

Beauty

And now plays a Ponting like pull shot for 4 against STeyn.......

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Excellent stuff from .... pulled steyn for a :4

 

[Xoib]

yeah same attitude same flair and also not far off in the batting talent.

 

[cricket sport]

Rahane has a better technique and defense than Azhar ali imo.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Well put... Wonder what RA, Ozgod or Convict think of the Kohli/Ponting comparison ?

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Steyn finishes his spell... it's morkel vs kohli now

 

[cricket sport]

Kohli talks the talk and walks the walk. He is legend.

 

[Ims1]

]Rahane[/B] has a better technique and defense than Azhar ali imo.

he averages 60+ in FC Cricket btw

 

[joly]

How come all are saying that it's a bowling pitch now?is it bcz they think India will bowl today and will be ideal to bash 'em again?

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

VJ, Kohli, Pujara and Rahane seem good at the moment

We need dhawan and rohit to come good and we will have a decent line up

 

[Xoib]

kahan say latay ho itnay world class batsmen

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

smacks another :4

Same like u get bowler

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Lol. Even fawad Alam averaged 60 in Fc cricket i think. It's not like Pakistan does not have the talent.

 

[style_guru]

No one should criticize Talunted. People forget that he averaged a mammoth 288 before this series, and instead people should forget that he averages just 6.66 in this series

 

[Ims1]

kahan say latay ho itnay world class batsmen

he was ready for tests 2 years back but could not get in the 11 because of the legendary masters like SRT & Dravid .

I never expected him to do good in SA.. He has lived upto my expectations.
Well played rahane and kohli.

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Kohli caught down the leg side ... how many times does he get out like this?

 

[Nuekboi]

SA making the new ball count. If they get another they might bowl out India under 300

 

[Anuj25]

Loose shot there

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

 

[IndianWillow]

<300 is now possible.

 

[style_guru]

Kohli goes. But do not worry, as India has Talunted players in the team, who can score triple 100's in the second innings.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Dhoni play your shots mate .... leaving/ blocking doesn't suit you

 

[Anuj25]

2 wickets easily gifted to SA ( vijay and kohli)

[Romali_rotti]

Come on boys get to 300.......... Dhoni need to just swing the bat and hit a few 4s and 6s

 

[badhmash_kaka]

talunted should be kicked out of the team now.

 

[Nuekboi]

Wow imagine Ravi Shastri working at a store counter. Would be difficult with all those awkward customers

 

[Saeed]

Yeah dis be da beauty of test match.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

30/ 40 run partnership between these 2 will be ideal for us ....

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Nice shot by rahane.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Rahane gets a :4

Common boys get to 300-325

 

[Electron]

India need a Sehwag replacement real soon. He was the one who turned potential draws into wins for us.
