Mntboy Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Rahane currently scoring freely. Pitch getting is either easing up or a more positive approach is yielding results. A target >200 on the cards. Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk
'Dale Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 "Two out of 100 [is my rating for the pitch]. It's a s**t pitch. You can interpret that. They should have called it off when Vijay got hit. This is not a cricket pitch, this is dangerous. Call it off, forget it. You can't play cricket on that. I have no idea what has gone wrong but I know it's not a good cricket pitch. The last time I saw something like this, the match was abandoned - in Jamaica 1998, and it didn't even last this long."

Joe De Beer Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 If it is called off tonight Wanderers will feel it financially. Losing both the weekend crowd and potentially the Aus game if I understand the sanctions correctly

Cannot agree more. It's an absolute disaster of a pitch. Even if they continue pay tomorrow, this match will be tainted forever, plus we don't stand ice cube's chance in hell to pull this off...

'Dale Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 After several meetings with officials and team managers, both teams have declared they are willing to continue play Then pause And outcome Play will continue tomorrow ????
EmptyB Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Abandoning a test match has massive consequences! Money and pressure made this decision. It's a *** pitch and shouldn't have anything to do with team management or captains particularly. Umpires, match referee and ICC make that call. The pitch is only gonna get worse. Having said that.... I'm chuffed they gonna play on.

GLuvsMtb Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 I think its a case of ‘slim vang sy baas’. There should be no reason to request a bouncy Wanderers pitch. It usually is. By putting pressure on groundsmen to spice it up even further was uncalled for. We were well on top in this series and by looking to spice up the pitch its turned into a lottery. I get that the Sub Continent has been preparing tailor made pitches for their teams for years and that we wanted to get our own back after the last tour to India, but they have been doing it for decades. This tour is the first one where so much emphasis is being placed on what type of wicket is required. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Lexx and Mntboy 2

'Dale Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Wanderers somehow remains a happy hunting ground for the Indian team Gotta admire the sporting spirit between these two teams under the cloud of controversy around the pitch Bull Ring will now be under review May be given a red cardIf there’s another poor review, a ban from international cricket may be incurred ????
