Hardik 25
Bhuvi 10
Shami 4
Bumrah 0

India 110 bowled out.

25 saal ka baadla!!!:D:D
India will bring Rahane for the next match sure :yes.
 
What a great match, really good stuff I don't see India taking this one. Lovely watching cricket when the ball is seaming around!
 
We will add another 50 runs max

Look at Saha fishing outside off stump. Won't stay for top long. And lol at sharmaji[DOUBLEPOST=1515416396][/DOUBLEPOST]I guess 50 runs was too much.. Bundled out for less than 100 here.
 
I think we need Pandya's magic again. Poor shot selections from the batsmen have cost us the match.

Don't count on it. First innings Pandya had nothing to lose and just gambled with counter attacking. Now the stakes are way too high to expect the same
 
If we can get to 150 from here, it will be a big deal. Steyn or no steyn, we do not have the batting quality to get to 200 on such a track. The two batsmen with the best test match pedigree are in the dugout.

Well he's gone now too. Highly doubt Ashwin and Saha stringing a good partnership with the ball moving around.
 
I expect the series to go south from here. This was probably our best shot at winning a test in this series and we could've gone a lot closer had we picked the right personnel. Can't help but think of what the match situation could've been had we not chosen the proven liabilities in test cricket in Dhawan and Nohit. We must remember that the likes of Kohli and Pujara cannot pile up a mountain of runs the way they do in India.

All the talk of chasing down 350+ with this lineup is laughable. We will need a 6th batsman on these conditions. You should be pleased if the lower order could contribute 40 runs in these conditions.
 
Dont care about what Dhawan does. He is a walking wicket. Vijay needs to make up for his horrendous mistake in the first innings. And Kohli better stand up and undo his shot from the first innings, which brought back horrific memories of our previous overseas tours

Kohli fails when he really needs to perform. Today was another opportunity, how much easier can it get? 208 runs for a win, and you can't even get that? Especially after all the talk about being in the zone and ready for this match? The batsman have let the bowlers down by not batting well, we always talk about India's bowling overseas and that has been great in this match so far. To me, I don't think he should be a captain after this series is over, his capabilities are limited and we have seen many times that he fails when you'd expect your captain to perform. You really can't get an easier opportunity to go 1-0 up.[DOUBLEPOST=1515417851][/DOUBLEPOST]
The bowlers and Pandya helped us give a tough fight in this test match. To me, this match is done and dusted now. Only a miracle can get us out of jail from hereon.

I think this match proves the fact that we don't have the character needed to win in SA. No one is willing to grind out runs. This pitch is not bad at all. Were they expecting flat tracks?

Unfortunately Dhawan and Rohit will get many more chances since they are the captain's favorites. Honestly, I think the captain needs to be dropped.

If Rahane and Rahul had been chosen,i think there is still no guarantee we could have won.
