Amazing performance from the Saffers to beat India 2-1 from 1-0 down, not sure many saw that coming!!!!

Can't say I did - thought SA would be a little toothless without Nortje and also lack the necessary runs. Great series though and what a player Jansen looks like becoming

Over the line with ease! 2-1 series win and we have Petersen and Jansen with good experience from this.

We needed to give the windies the extra runs to make a game of it!

It’s happened again 
Shambles again. Had a chance to gain momentum and now on the back foot again

Kohli steps down as Indian Test captain … maybe this will free him up as a batsman.
Smith also (reluctantly forced) gave up captaincy.
Will Root go down the same route?

rather that than keep saying hes not fit for the job without a clue who to replace him with Homie. Last week you were giving it to a guy who hadnt made his test debut............

is it Root’s job to find a replacement or that of the coach & selectors.

of course its the selectors, not sure the relevance of the question?
(albeit you need to redefine the selectors before you let them choose
)

England are in with a shout now. Good opening stand so far. winviz has them with a 49% chance as it stands.
Winviz clearly never saw an England batting collapse.

Feels like we let them score 40-50 more than they should have. Good start, shame to lose Burns just before Tea, big evening/morning coming up.

You were saying...
Yep. 270-odd, batting last on this pitch, against this attack, with the most brittle batting line up in world cricket, is surely far too big an ask.
Winviz has clearly got slaughtered at a Downing Street cheese and wine gathering.
