What possessed India to select Bumrah and Pandya as third and fourth seamers in South Africa?
Don’t they have any proper quick bowlers? These bowlers are Faheem Ashraf quality!
On 9th Jan as wellGreat going guys!! More humiliation on it's way!!

Here we go.. Easy runs..
South Africa pummeling Indian bowlers here.
Pitch might be slightly flattening out and Indian bowlers seem a bit tired as well.
Need one more wicket before close of play.
If the pitch becomes easier it will be good for India. They will have a proper chance if the batsmen don't throw away their wickets second time round.
It's all about pressure.
One more wicket will not change anything india cant chase 300 here on day 3 4 pitch
I agree. Our batters are mentally strong though. As long as the conditions aren't beyond their technical competence they will bat well. What they won't do is crumble on a flat pitch simply because of the weight of runs. Even in Australia, we tried to chase a mammoth target and almost had it.
Our batsmen aren't perfect, but nobody will question their ability to score big in good conditions.

They can bring as many Faheem Ashrafs as they want as long as they get wickets.
It is better to play matches than wasting 2018 like PCB didTrue but in the end india will get humiliated almost in every test this year becauseyou know what most of them are overseas![]()

We need pace of yadav or bounce of ishant,bumrah making no dent.

They are two different things not comparing them. It was a great knock. Here we are talking about completely different situation. This was a nothing to lose like situation for him. You know the game is already done and not much can you do about it while in other case it could be anyone's game(the one who handles pressure better and ofcourse the demand of situation could be different from his style of play too at that time.)
Now I am not judging him because he is too early in his career but in a long career he will face different kinds of situation and will be tested several times. That's the only point. Not being harsh or over demanding on the lad.
<B>The only point there was it will be interesting to see how or whether he will adjust his game plan when he will be required to change his aggressive style of play and play attritional cricket to save a match.</B> It wasn't about scoring against quality attack or not. It was a top notch attack itself what else one would want.
Its funny how much bias can be there. Btw, Pandya is batting at 6, and if he fails defending a score, that wouldnt make him any inferior. As if any top order pakistani batsman could play half as good as how Pandya played today!
LOL I don't believe that Indians still thinking they can win the match.India ain't winning any match.
#no mercy
#decimation
Next Test bring in Rahul, Rahane and Yadav for Dhawan, Rohit and Bumrah.

We can win as long as target is not above 300.If its above 350 game over.
Why are you trolling needlessly under false flag ?A proteas fan who types hindi... right.
And on the point yes,we still can ..its difficult but certainly not impossible.

News coming in that steyn has suffered tissue damage on his left heel. Won't be bowling in the next innings and could be out of action for 4-6 weeks. Hope he recovers soon.
What's the injury status with steyn? South Africa might be slightly psychologically dented if he doesn't bowl in the second innings.
Bit of pressure on the Saffers to get a decent target now but Morkel, Philander, Rabada is probably still enough to bowl out India in the 4th innings
SA need to get to 250 to ensure victory.
India need to make sure they are not chasing more than 250 (which means they need to dismiss SA by 180 odd)
Test Matches against Ireland & Scotland will be the real test for Pakistan in 2018 after home thrashing by SL2018 is just started i guess you cant control your emotions while typing![]()
Next Test bring in Rahul, Rahane and Yadav for Dhawan, Rohit and Bumrah.
India going to loose this one unless they pull of a miracle. Always saw it impossible for them to take on Sa in Sa. Just stating the obvious...
C'mmon Saffers I am with you all the way! Hammer the Bharatis as hard as possible! Even Gandhi got his you know what handed back to him in South Africa!300 plus run lead should be sufficient to win the first Test.
I do feel for Steyn. After a year+ layoff, only able to bowl 15 overs before going down again.
I cannot help but think if this is the end. He is approaching 35, so things will only get harder for a fast bowler.
India have controlled the damage to certain extent with two wickets.
And Pandya strikes again! This time he takes out Elgar for 25 and suddenly pressure seems to be on South Africa as they slump to 59/2, with lead standing at 136 runs #SAvInd #Cricket
