Siraj did.

I haven't seen the game, but how bowler friendly is the pitch? Cause if Indians can bowl like that, don't discount the Saffers to pull this back.

Indian batting already tested in the 1st Test. SA get their basics right, it could be game on!

Siraj did.

Guess someone told Siraj that SriLanka is the only Sub continental country to have won a Test series in SA...

It’s bowler friendly alright but even with that caveat… 55 is very much under par.

I cant watch due to work but 55 all out is a horror show of incompetency unless its a 90s West Indies wicket lol

I'll have to watch the highlights to see how those wickets fell.

Rohit batting like Zak Crawley, South Africa bowling like Australia to Zak Crawley

 

[Aravind.]

Rohit what a crucial start, I hope we'll captialise on this and bat once in this test.

It’s got to be the way forward given how much better batters are at positive strokeplay over attritional cricket.

Is Siraj actually this good?

Not according to @icyman but yes according to most cricket experts.

Bit of a shame that there’s no third test in this series. Tests in South Africa have always been fun to watch.

Siraj is a decent Test bowler. I wouldn't say the same of him in the limited overs arena though.

Halo effect! Believe this one has just become more interesting and hence the suggestion for a 3 match series?

Not really. The third test of the 2018 series is one of my favourite games and we wouldn’t have had it if we went by the logic of it not happening due to it being a dead rubber.
