Yessss! Yesss! Yessss!! We are cruising here!!

**soso_killer** · 6th January 2018, 10:41

Desperate review, Steyn is getting the ball to reverse.

**Sam99** · 6th January 2018, 10:41

Pandya not looking great but he atleast managed runs off his edges and luck.

Agree

**thelandofthebravepeople** · 6th January 2018, 10:42

Saha was in Harsha Bhogle test team of the year hahahahahahaha

**dauntless** · 6th January 2018, 10:42

Another good ball

**bujhee kom** · 6th January 2018, 10:42

I've seen better bats in caves.

**Arham_PakFan** · 6th January 2018, 10:43

Steyn is on fire,Brilliant over

**Oligochaetes** · 6th January 2018, 10:43

India need 8 runs to get to triple figures. It will be a historic milestone for Kohli as captain...

This is so much fun!! Really living this!

**Ozymandiasza** · 6th January 2018, 10:43

Damn, it's good to see Steyn back in action

**shah_1** · 6th January 2018, 10:44

Steyn is a champion bowler

Asian teams suck badly in africa. Pak atleast have bowlers we dont even have that.

**Arham_PakFan** · 6th January 2018, 10:44

Pandya hit thay cleanly.

**soso_killer** · 6th January 2018, 10:45

Steyn maybe bedridden but he doesn't look "past it" to me.

**shah_1** · 6th January 2018, 10:45

Pandya needs to quickly move to 5th gear

**Arham_PakFan** · 6th January 2018, 10:45

Well played by Pandya,another

**MoJoJoJo** · 6th January 2018, 10:46

so called world class batting lineup exposed overseas.. many more to come in 2018..

**shah_1** · 6th January 2018, 10:46

I sincerely believe that your bowlers are better than us right now

Hasan Ali is the only hope but still unproven and not enough games to say anything but others are garbage,

**Savage** · 6th January 2018, 10:47

Vijay,Pujara,Dhawan,kohli and Ashwin are out due to their poor shot selection.

Pujara and Vijay dismissals were most disappointing.

And ofc That Idiot Kohli never learns.

I m not Pakistani to begin with though I support Pakistan but I support south Africa equally too.These two have always been my teams.

**Madplayer** · 6th January 2018, 10:48

Good by pandya

**shah_1** · 6th January 2018, 10:48

Get Rabada to bowl to Pandya, give him some chin music.

**dauntless** · 6th January 2018, 10:49

Dale get these guys out as soon as possible

**soso_killer** · 6th January 2018, 10:49

I'd bring Rabada for the tail. Even Morkel

**Ozymandiasza** · 6th January 2018, 10:49

Steyn is done when he says he's done. Probably close though.

**thelandofthebravepeople** · 6th January 2018, 10:49

Bowl Steyn and Rabada.

**Varun** · 6th January 2018, 10:49

Maharaj needn't even bowl at this rate.

**Arham_PakFan** · 6th January 2018, 10:50

Edged safely.

**thelandofthebravepeople** · 6th January 2018, 10:50

Bhuvi will be out LBW.

**dauntless** · 6th January 2018, 10:51

No fell short! Have always loved dale's run up and action so beautiful

**dauntless** · 6th January 2018, 10:54

Here comes kagiso!! Go man clean them up!

**soso_killer** · 6th January 2018, 10:59

Doesn't Rahane average 45+ in each of SA, AUS, ENG and NZ with an overall average of 50+?

Was a myopic decision to drop your best player in overseas conditions. Rohit isn't good enough for Test cricket imo.
India should leave him for home ODI's.

**dauntless** · 6th January 2018, 11:01

Rightly said rohit FTB sharma is only good for home Odis!

**MRSN** · 6th January 2018, 11:03

So this is India's reply to "25 saalo ki haar ka badla"??

**lehen** · 6th January 2018, 11:10

Indian batting is poor ,bowlers did better than all visiting sides. batting was always a worry for India this series.No surprises

**Varun** · 6th January 2018, 11:18

Are you all looking forward to the INDEPENDENCE CUP?

Mouth watering clash featuring India, Bangladesh and Lanka.

ODI after ODI in store, at a ground near y'all!

**RamLakhan** · 6th January 2018, 11:21

Pandya's selection is justified (of course no one of us had complaints about him playing in place of 2nd spinner) We can't complain about his rash shots, if only our top order batted for a bit longer, his runs would have been valuable and he would have been more effective with older ball and tired bowlers. Also no issues with 5 bowlers strategy (or Pandya as 4th seamer). It is the atrocious way of dropping Rahane and Rahul (Well they didn't drop Rahane in home series when he was failing, but now? Is it a ploy to kill his confidence completely?)

**Sam99** · 6th January 2018, 11:23

Bowling is not looking same as it looked when Sharma and Pujara batted. (maybe old ball or bowlers are tired)

**MenInG** · 6th January 2018, 11:26

Pandya brilliant!

**Varun** · 6th January 2018, 11:27

If we can limp to 200...

**MRSN** · 6th January 2018, 11:29

Vow Pandya has raced to a fifty in no time. Very quality player this guy is.

**thelandofthebravepeople** · 6th January 2018, 11:30

Morkel has been rubbish.

**shah_1** · 6th January 2018, 11:32

Pandya is a super star in making

**Arham_PakFan** · 6th January 2018, 11:34

Edited for accuracy.

Let's not get carried away.

We deserve to lose this. No place for Rahul, Rahane or one of our quicker bowlers. Looks very bits and pieces.

**another drop catch** · 6th January 2018, 11:36

pandya>>>>faheem

**MRSN** · 6th January 2018, 11:37

if he can overcome his shortcomings against pacers which he has shown in this game he can be a very dangerous player.

**Sam99** · 6th January 2018, 11:39

Pandya played better than ab did against trundler bowling attack.

**RamLakhan** · 6th January 2018, 11:40

Well people told that Pandya can only hit spinners. He definitely has all the talent that is needed, but should only keep his head right!

**soso_killer** · 6th January 2018, 11:40

Morkel bowling his rubbish again.

**Varun** · 6th January 2018, 11:41

Chipping away at that lead.

**RamLakhan** · 6th January 2018, 11:42

If only we had Rahul & Rahane playing in this match, at least one would have contributed, and we would have had a real chance in this test match (These are the kind of pitches where our bowlers can trouble SA batsmen!)

**MenInG** · 6th January 2018, 11:43

No - Pandya playing a blinder.

**Varun** · 6th January 2018, 11:44

Apparently rain is reported for tomorrow.

**Mamoon** · 6th January 2018, 11:45

Some of our resident Pandya critics might be drowning in the flood of their tears. I don’t think I need to tag them, they know who they are.

**Varun** · 6th January 2018, 11:46

Welcome, Maharaj.

**Nikhil_cric** · 6th January 2018, 11:46

Oh well atleast we were not shot out for 49 on the first innings of our tour

**MRSN** · 6th January 2018, 11:47

De kock misses stumping of Pandya..could be costly.

**RamLakhan** · 6th January 2018, 11:48

And he hits a six to the spinner (his favorite). Well they have an excuse (he was given chances), but they won't say the same to Fakhar's no ball...

**Varun** · 6th January 2018, 11:48

Good shots there. Trail down to 120 now.

**RamLakhan** · 6th January 2018, 11:50

What a century it would be if he gets!

**Titan24** · 6th January 2018, 11:50

Why bring Fakhar in the thread?

Pandya got two chances for one fifty in test. Fakhar got one and went big in the final

**Arham_PakFan** · 6th January 2018, 11:50

**RamLakhan** · 6th January 2018, 11:51

Bhuvi supporting very nicely

**Titan24** · 6th January 2018, 11:51

South Africa choking?

**GLORY OF '92** · 6th January 2018, 11:51

Wow SA are getting nailed

Pandya is playing a stunning innings.

**jnaveen1980** · 6th January 2018, 11:51

I did not expect this. Taking calculated risks on a surface like this against 4 hostile bowlers. May be his inexperience somewhat helped him. Probably didn't overthink. Already done more than expected from him. This is one of those tests where you have to keep forgetting the previous ball. Otherwise you will be screwed up.

**RamLakhan** · 6th January 2018, 11:52

However they score, they should be getting it that's the key!

**jnaveen1980** · 6th January 2018, 11:53

Steyn is unleashing all his tricks from his bag. Man Kudos to Pandya just to face him lol Amazing tricks today. brain game from Steyn.
