1st Test: South Africa v India at Capetown Jan 5-9 2018

Lol...Travis Head and Matt Wade get (rightly) fined for their...um, "in your face" wicket celebrations. What odds Kohli gets a fine for that garbage aimed at Faf? Or Hardik for obviously screaming "f**k you!" three or four times.

EDIT-Sorry, must be watching the wrong game, I forgot that only Australians carry on like that.

Haha was about to mention that baz. The fckwit's carry on was far worse than any so called 'ugly australian' moments.
I'm sure JJ can try and defend the hypocrisy. As soon as the Australian Open finishes up.

Not sure what you're talking about mate. We're repeatedly told that only Australians carry on like that. Or when other teams do it it's because they're playing against big bad Australia. Clearly I misinterpreted what I saw....it was probably some Hindi thing, like maa ki.

On a serious note the footage they showed after all that settled of Pandya reacting to the DRS decision should have him in some trouble IMO. Dissent is a pretty obvious no-no

He was literally screaming profanities at the batsman. Somehow i think he'll get away with it.

The saffas are probably 1 batsman light in this lineup. Also seem under the "quota" for this match

If they do get sanctioned they'll just threaten to go home I suppose. Worked a treat last time

The quota is an average of games over the whole season tbh. Or the year or something. Individual matches can be under the quota as long there is a majority of games where they meet the quota.

Philander is going to absolutely skewer these muppets on this deck

that was terrible from a captain nonetheless

And that's before he even gets the ball, the way he's swinging the bat!

Poor old India already getting the Philanderer treatment, theres De Kock brutalising them down the other end too

 

[Bazal]

50 runs stand of 39 balls.

These boys will be telling the top order what a road this is....

if him and Rabada are on song, could get very ugly but at the same time very nice to watch

 

[Bazal]

That's a shame, De Kock was looking good for a rescue job.

 

[TheParraboy]

LOL team India

How the hell did SA almost get 300?

India 3/28 in reply, kholi caught behind for 5 - hahaha. Hope a few of the proteas said some ‘nice’ words to send him packing. India will struggle to avoid the follow on LOL friggin Hilarious

 

[ANTiLAG]

pretty obvious kiwis would rather watch t20 than test cricket

your not no1 for nothing in that format

Not #4 in tests for nothing too.

But South Africa has the most top level tests worth watching this summer.

Sky NZ are so useless when NZ toured SA last time, CSA and home broadcaster instead of selling Sky the broadcast gave it to NZ'ers free on a stream.

Steyn
Philander
Morkel
Rabada
Maharaj


That a helluva attack. Seems a bit bowler heavy.

 

[Twizzle]

haha, Kholi failed, I'm off to Facebook to have a casual chat with some Indian trolls.

 

[simmo1]

Surely Rahane and Rahul should be picked over muppets like Dhawan and Sharma.

Both teams look a little skinny batting wise.

but but but Sachin....

great attack, they always had a great pace attack. maybe short of a quality spinner in the past

We are always heavily underdogs when we tour there, come March 2018 nothing will change that.
However they haven't been able to beat us since apartheid (though they have won the last 3 series on our soil)
