4 for 20, after SA decided to bat.

And this is the A team; imagine how they will look in NZ with the Cs…

 

[Eelectrica]

Seems like SA have gone with their Z team. 5/34.
6/34 now.

 

[TheParraboy]

Team South Africa 7/45

Siraj has 6

Karma for South Africa treating Test Cricket like piece if shit by getting walloped here.

Cape Town always seems to provide drama with the bat or ball. On top of sandpaper we also got rolled for 47 there about a dozen years ago.

 

[King-Gutho94]

All out for 55.

I suppose they will be ringing in the changes for the next test.

Oh wait that's already been organised.

 

[TheParraboy]

If India get bowled out for under 100, im blocking this thread..

Dean Elgar said they would treat it as a World Cup final and I guess South Africa responded in true South African style lol

Those pricks are never winning any world cup.

They have too much mental baggage.

The semi final 2 months back most of them have never been involved in the past and they still froze with the bat.

South Africa get bowled out for 55.

Then India lose 6 for none in 11 balls to go from 4/153 to 153 all out.

Madness!

Bet neither team bowled short at the tail with the field spread

 

[Fangs]

Had to watch it for myself to believe it.

Has anyone ever seen that before? 6 wickets for no runs...

 

[Eelectrica]

Almost had a one day test... Doubt it goes to day 3 though.

 

[Twizzle]

so much damage being done to test cricket right now

 

[mozza91]

23 wickets on the first day? Surprised Philander didn’t come out of retirement to pad his stats some more.

 

[Bazal]

so much damage being done to test cricket right now

I mean I don't know that a green deck hooping the ball through a few blokes is damage. Personally I wanna see more of it...more green decks, some teams will fall in a heap but they'll f**ken learn

 

[King-Gutho94]

I actually don't mind tests where the bowlers are dominating.

Yeah it might be over in 2-3 days but it really is enthralling cricket and every run is worth 10 in normal test match.

I look back at the BGT trophy last year give me the 2nd & 3rd Test wickets instead of the disgrace that was the 4th test which was going to be draw from ball 1.

 

[Marshall_magic]

assuming today plays out like yesterday, what’s the lowest total a team has ever produced, yet still won a match by an inning?

[JJ]

at South Africa, stupid f**kers prepare a deck like this and get slaughtered, at least when Philander played they could make it count
