South Africa v India test series


Dexter said:
Really liked South Africa’s approach to the last two tests. Realised they didn’t have any all rounders up to standard and just said fuck it lets play five specialist bowlers. That decision ended up winning them the series, they might look a bit silly in the future doing it when they get skittled for 80 but there’s no doubting their ability to take 20 wickets with four genuine quicks and a specialist spinner.

Aye was very bold and fair play to them, enough in the pitches and a gun bowling attack

I thought the 2nd pitch was slightly dodgy, was very up and down on days 1 and 2.

Interesting to see what they do in England in the summer. Will they be as bold, not convinced they can.

What a series. South Africa has to be the best country in the world to watch test match cricket. A bit in the wickets for bat and ball makes for quality matches.

Agreed.

I think Janssen could turn into a decent allrounder, he's looked handy with the bat and if his bowling continues to impress the way it has so far, he'll be a fixture in the team for the next 15 years. At least South Africa aren't likely to fall into the English trap of focusing all their attention on his batting to the detriment of his bowling.

I have also been impressed with Petersen, van der Dussen and Bavuma and the way they've grown in confidence through the series. In the first test, South Africa looked in trouble as soon as Elgar got out, 2nd test he hung around while they started to back him up, this test they took up the baton very well.

Aye a lefty too. I'd really like England to try one in test cricket, have we tried one since Sidebottom?
