Joe De Beer Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Let’s see how we go with only 4 bowlers in the 2nd inning ... next test bring back Bavuma or maybe Ngidi in for Steyn (or Morris)
babse Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 after a mid test rest day yesterday, India have done the damage this morning. can the tail wag again to squeeze out at least 250 run lead
jimmycool Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Well that didn't last long.Still though I think 208 is a bit out of reach on this wicket.Big Vern is going to be a handful imho.
'Dale Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 steyn padded up to bat From moon boot and crutches to coming in to face bowling on a green-ish mamba ???? Wow ???? Out for the series Important contest with Aus coming upWill they select him agsin ????
'Dale Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 our tail got wrapped up like a Shawarma...Now to look forward to drama-a-minute Go Rabadaaa & Co ????
leeubok Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Been a while since I posted here! I'm terribly nervous about this game.. I don't think we have enough runs on the board. 250-300 would've been better. Preferably 300 - 350. Good start by India so far. If luck is on their side they'll get the runs. Is it just me or is Kohli extremely annoying with his celebrations after each SA wicket??
leeubok Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 As I was saying about luck. Vijay been given out twice now, both times reversed by DRS. Every edge flies to the boundary...Already 29 runs after only 7 overs. At this rate India is going to easily get the runs Lexx 1
HOEKVLAG Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Good start by India. With such a low total to defend we need to put pressure on them by taking a couple of wickets. Once they start tumbling...
leeubok Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 From moon boot and crutches to coming in to face bowling on a green-ish mamba Wow Out for the seriesImportant contest with Aus coming upWill they select him agsin It's a tough one. We all know Steyn is one of the best ever. And he's worked so hard to get back.. But now at 34 he's so injury prone, and has broken down in all of his last 3 tests if I'm not mistaken? So do you take a chance with him again, where if he breaks down again you're left with a strike bowler and a batsman short? I wouldn't select him again, unless he has played some domestic cricket and has some overs under the belt
leeubok Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Ooooh!!!!! 30/2! Things can get interesting here! They have to get Kohli out cheaply, he's the key to winning or losing this match!
leeubok Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Let’s see how we go with only 4 bowlers in the 2nd inning ... next test bring back Bavuma or maybe Ngidi in for Steyn (or Morris)I would go with Morris. He's a very good allrounder. We need that extra bowling option. I don't think Maharaj is going to have a lot of success against the Indians, they play spin really well and we don't have turning wickets. So we can't leave it up to Morkel (sometimes erratic) and Philander (injury prone) to take 20 wickets in a match. Oh yes Rabada is also there
'Dale Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Stroke play is virtually impossible Most of the Indian boundaries have been false strokes That pitch is as lively as the Wanderers on Day 1 ????
