South Africa's tour of India - October/December 2015

[PokerAce]

Amla is really going for the balls when driving. Potential for a catch to the slips there.

 

[PokerAce]

5 overs to go, if India get one more, then India would totally assert their spin dominance.

 

[PokerAce]

Whoa how did Amla survive that delivery from the leggie. Excellent spin bowling by the three spinners. its been a siege out there.

Looks like this will be a low scoring affair. Amla and abdv key players, if one of them gets a big one then SA will be in the lead. for now very close but SA probably just ahead.

Two tests (edit - started) today ... one totally dominated by the bat the other by the ball. Will be interesting to see if the trend continues tomorrow.

Correction: 3 tests today, 2 dominated by the ball and 1 by the bat.

@talahayat no I meant two tests started today. One dominated by the Bat one by the ball.

We need to pick up the wickets of Hashim Amla and De villears quickly to stay in the game.

 

[PokerAce]

I think an early wicket tomorrow will be a great start, whoever goes. Also remember SA are going to bat 4th here, and if the pitch on day 1 was causing them problems, just picture what day 4 or 5 is going to be.

 

[Aalay]

Well firstly we need to get some lead to put them under pressure. They are not the only ones struggling against spinners, we are also struggling against spinners. For fearsome tweak's sake we are struggling against part timers. We need to get a lead here to stay in the game.

Not a good cricket wicket - Elgar | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

I don't think it's a very good cricket wicket. It is my personal opinion. It is a result wicket, which is expected when you come here.

What the hell are 'cricket wicket' and 'result wicket'?

 

[Markkkkk]

I guess a result wicket is bad quality and hence, will force a result...

 

[grkrama]

this wasnt by any means a rank turner... just some bad techniques against spin exposed..heck ashwin looked better against spin than most..also apart form a couple deliveries from mishra amla too didnt look anywhere near troubled by it either. So certainly not some kind of pit if you got the technique.

Plus the beauty of travelling is to experience all these different conditions which you cant get in your country.

Oh so a pitch that turns is of bad quality ... a pitch which is green as a garden though, perfect !!

 

[Markkkkk]

I never said it was a bad wicket, I didnt watch any of the day Im just taking a guess no need to shoot me...
