India tour of South Africa

This is painful to watch. I mean SA are by no means my fav team but watching them being dismantled like this! Sighh
 
It's getting painful to watch this series. Kohli and the wristies are literally humiliating SA!

I don't even think the likes of AB, Faf and QdK could do much.
 
I read somewhere that SA were practicing with 5 spinners in nets. That didn't help them either as they lost 3 wickets off 4 to spinners in this match.
 
Pandya has built up good amount of pressure here.

I bet there must be a world of difference in the quality of those spinners to ours. Also, SA have a habit of making things out to be a lot more than they are in their head.
 
Zondo is only playing to save his spot it seems. 11 of 31 deliveries in this age of cricket is just not acceptable. There are no demons in the pitch its all in their head.
 
To be fair, it not that SA are performing badly. Just that India are performing better that SA. You got to appreciate the Indian spinners for their performance overseas. Though SA have some of their experienced players injured, they lost the 1st ODI with all those players in playing xi.
 
This is the most dominant performance for India overseas, despite the fact that SA lost ABD for the series and Faf/De Kock for majority of the games. I wonder even if they'd changed things up here. Kuldeep and Chahal have been utterly demolishing with their game in the middle overs.

There was an article I read recently (cant remember where) and it says that the best way to beat India would be to make a really flat wicket where their bowlers are taken out of the equation. And of course, don't make the mistake of allowing India to field first... The only area left for India to tick is how their batting can take advantage of really flat conditions to notch up a massive total or chase down a massive total.

They're world class bowlers but SA are making them look like two unplayable gods. They're not invincible as they're being made out to be. Nobody is.[DOUBLEPOST=1518027207][/DOUBLEPOST]I would rest both these spinners the moment the series is wrapped. Keep the mystery.
 
'Vision 2019' is a campaign to make SA look stupid at another world event. This approach should have been kept within the dressing room. Making it public just piles on the pressure. They should have played it down as much as possible.
 
The two wrist spinners were absolutely brilliant today as well perhaps their biggest challenge in the series will be in the next match at Wanderers which is one of the most flattest deck in the world and the ball does travel a long long way due to high altitude , thin air...
