[Cricket] SA not all they're cracked up to be?

[Gwylan]

Fun and games in Nagpur: 25 wickets have fallen before tea on the second day. That looks like an even contest between bat and ball

However, SA have definitely had the worst of this series and, Amla and ABDV aside, don't have much in the way of batting. With Steyn and Philander crocked, England may have a good chance in the forthcoming series.

They certainly look susceptible to spin, all we have to do is unleash our formidable array of slow bowlers

Oh ....

Oh ....

All our spinners will do is play them back into form with some buffet bowling

India now 142/7 in their second innings.

Ridiculous

However as India think they run world cricket, there will be no comeback on the state of the pitch...

Fixed it for you

India could declare now and still win this, SA will get nowhere this total

I do not mind the home team making a pitch that suits them (Trent Bridge?), however it needs to at least give a four day game.

They pretty much do, to be fair.

Oh, well played sir

 

[Hiney]

India all out. 30 wickets down in the match so far.

South Africa need 310 to win, with three and a bit days to go

I'm going for the draw...

 

[Simster]

India 334 all out

SA 79/5 !!!

 

[Simster]

79/6

 

[Gwylan]

India 334 all out

SA 79/5 !!!

79/6 now

SA can't claim this a dodgy wicket seeing that India got 334. I really think we have a chance this winter

 

[LlcoolJ]

Will Steyn and Philander be fit to play against us though?

I think we will compete.

However I would have liked a real quickie in the squad as the Wanderers in particular will be lethal with pace.
