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

I hope Abbott plays ahead of Rabada, the man is such quality. Id rather have Leie agead of Harmer as Harmer isnt an attacking spinner which we need in India...
 
if ever you needed another reason not to have a man-bun...
 
Binny ahead of Mishra sums it up for me. All the talk about 5-bowlers and aggression is crap. All Binny does is add some meat to the batting/bowling on paper which in reality accounts to nothing. If they felt there was more in it for pace, Yadav should`ve played ahead of Bunny. I feel bad for the guy. He was terrific in the 2nd innings at Mohali and was unlucky to not get wickets. He was getting a lot of reverse swing at pace. If the test match goes into reverse-swing territory he would`ve been a handful. Ishant still does`nt inspire any confidence, especially at home. He keeps bowling that length that is more suited to Australia/SA and does`nt have the pace in the air.

I hope we play three genuine seamers and 2 spinners at some point in this series. We could`ve done it here in these conditions when we are 1-0 up, and we pick Bunny. Jadeja is`nt going to play a huge role on this first day wicket. It has to be Ashwin and the seamers to pick the wickets.
 
AB would ofcourse have liked to play his 100th in SA but to play at a ground where he plays his home games in the IPL, and where he is a hero, is not such a poor consolation. Every RCB fan has said that they want ABD to get a 100 today, and ABD got a reception that few visiting players have gotten in India.

Well Done Bangalore.
 
AB really bringing it in his 100th test. There is a bowler who troubled him in Mohali, but India replaced him with Binny !! Well Done

I am not sure AB gloved it, but purely from the catch, I think its out Saha took it cleanly ... good of the crowd to stand up and clap unanimously as AB walked off.
