India's Tour to South Africa

[WubbaLubbaDubDub :(]

I miss Rishabh Pant in this lineup. I remember his 100 in a losing cause last time around but he is such a nice Test Batsman! In his short span of career has given me more joy watching Test Cricket compared to others.

I think 220-230 should be a decent score seeing the wicket. Also all the scores last time were around this.

Also Ravi is now in Africa. Guess it truly is time for Africa. Guess he was on a vacation in Australia got bored and started commentating

Rabada has such a phenomenal record and he's not even 29. If South Africa played more tests he could have a serious chance at record breaking numbers.

Give it to one of the guys who might captain in New Zealand

So you’re saying it should be Bedingham/Petersen.

India really went with Ashwin-Thakur at 7-8… in South Africa

It’s not like they knew it was a risky play after being caught trying it in the last series.

They’re really trying to channel that 2018 series energy where we had a famous win with Ashwin batting at seven.

This is easily the best I’ve seen him bowl in tests for a while.

KLR going at a faster strike rate than the World Cup final. Twice as many sixes as all boundaries.

20-30 runs more and we would have a competitive total. 250 and it would be game on! Lets see where we end up being. Just need Siraj and Prasidh to hang on

Also this is a fine innings from KL. The conditions are not friendly to batting, put into bat and has played well. Post his injury he has looked like his original self rather than the self imploding KL he became in 2019-2020-2021.

KS Bharat should have played in the XI instead of Rahul. Utter politics.

You mean this all rounder Rahul?

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub :(]

Also this is great , have only two test matches after the meaningless horrible ODI's and have this match start on a rainy day that has rain forecasted all through the week. #CricketDyingSlowly

Need more rooftop stadiums or need more brainy management or need to be flexible.

No this guy is a Legend. I am talking about the other fraud Rahul who shouldn't even be travelling with the team. He is taking place of other well deserved players in the side.

Scoring the runs other well deserved players could be scoring.

Not a start that we would have liked. KLR has got us over 200, so that's the only silver lining for now. A very important day 2 coming up.

PS: I hate 2 match series.

SA bowlers are purposely feeding him easy balls than other batsmen. This is all a part of the elaborate BCCI's plan which CSA has agreed to and informed it's bowlers. This needs to stop and KL Rahul needs to come out and openly announce his retirement before it's too late.

They gotta find time in their schedule for IPL-SA.
