India tour of South Africa

[Pinch hitter]

first ABD, after Faf and now QDK... what happening in South African team...

SA should see this as an opportunity to test their bench strength. I don't think they will ever see so many key players miss out due to injuries. A solid performance will put them in contention for future series as well.

On the other hand, once ABC comes back, he and Amla will be under pressure to keep the batting unit together.

Unless Mr de Villiers plays one of his freak innings, 6-0 is coming up.

Even women's team is having a good time out there. We are about to win the first match.

Injuries are helping us as I saw a tweet from Vikrant Gupta the Aaj Tak guy saying Qunton has broken his finger too. If he is out thats another big blow to SAF.

So as mentioned Quinton is ruled out with yet another wrist injury. What is with South Africa and wrists. First the wrist spinners creating havoc and than three wrist injuries. South Africa's bench strength surely will be tested. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

We’re really going to miss Rilee Rossouw

He was the one who took the Kolpak deal correct?

Why all these wrist injuries? Were they carried over from the tests?

ABD and Faf did carry over, Quniton injured his wrist during the second ODI.

I think it is too Or I would say Threee Optimistic.... SA would bounce back in this series, India might have an edge to a series but 6-0???? I don't think so

I think Amla should drop down to no.3/4 and guide the team against the spin twins. Being the senior most batsman in the side now, he needs to pick up this responsibility. The rest of the team plays around him while he controls one end. This team has no issues playing the fast bowlers. Markram and someone else can see them off to a steady start at the top

Smriti scores fantastic 100. Was unlucky to miss out in the previous match, but gets this time. That too with SR of above 100. Amazing batting !

 

[Targaryen]

Again the question arises- is Rohit the right choice for opening position overseas after these many failures?

They could've asked Rahane to open and play someone like Manish Pandey at no.4

Lol! For a second there, I was like, "Why on earth is Rohit opening with Smirit?"
