....look pretty much like all the Protea teams....marshmallows under pressure. What a pathetic 2nd innings....two batsmen bowled shouldering arms. Add to that ODI regulars like Miller and Quinton who always fold under pressure and it looks like egg stretching far into the future.

BS = this was the team you screamed happiness about because De Kock was not included. The idiocy of you in cricket matters is even worse than in rugby. De Kock did extremely well in the T20 and ODI series preceding this test series.
The egg is fitting you full time again. Whenever you damn a player - just look at the opposite - because you know nothing bar bitterness against certain sportsmen. Any sportsman below 30 years of age is unacceptable to you.
I am amazed at your audacity to raise this issue after the way you carried on about the team when De Kock was replaced.

De Kock.....famous for, ah yes, missing the run out which took us out of the WC. He will have to cart a lot of Indian long hops before he lives that down, but we all know the moment he gets pace, he is gone.

Moz, to be fair, that wicket is a typical Indian wicket to which our batsmen failed to adapt. India also played three spinners as opposed to our two but that said the Indian spinners were better on a wicket to suit. It's debatable whether QDK would have done well but clearly this new wickie is out of his depth. Also think the Proteas were one batsman shy but above all it was a wicket where patience was a premium and two runs per over would have been suffice. Once gain our batsman were found wanting by failing to adjust, and it wasn't just one of them, they are all to be blamed.

Yep the wicket was dusty, which aided grip, but also had some disconcerting bounce. It was always going to favour the Indian team . Nonetheless van Zyl showed it was playable...it was the manner of our deer in the headlights batting that rankled.

Nice to see your undying support for a SA side....who happen to be ranked 1. Given you appear to have watched the game your comments are pretty cricket ignorant....which of course is exactly what you are.
Amla shouldered arms - care to talk us through how crap he is?

Mozart
Given that Se Kock made in ODI's 8 centuries and 6 half centuries in 42 games - against 10 centuries made by Graeme Smith in 197 ODI's, he is doing remarkably well for a 22 year old.
Mozart - famous for lying/misrepresenting about what actually happened in the case of that run-out.
We all know that one of his centuries was against Australia - famous for bowling long hops if Mozart is to be believed.

MickeyYou quote ODI stats, with respect, ODI has no bearing on Test performance.....it's a different game.That said let me add, Smithie had technical faults, so has De Kock.....I think QDK has more talent than what Smith had but unfortunately his talent is limited to eye/hand co-ordination, not eye, hand/foot. He is strictly speaking in the Sehwag mould. Smith was hopelessly exposed in the ODI format, time will tell but I anticipate QDK will be exposed at Test not at ODI level.

Careful now, the unemployable Bleskop Vetvark is a World Authority on anything and everything. He's never cracked the limelight in anything, going by his fat mouth he deluded himself which naturally led to one thing only.....failure!

He already has, scroll down to the post where he lists the team that should have been selected.......Hell he has three quicks on a wicket that hit me across the head with a baseball bat favours spin bowling. Conclusively proven by the Indian attack.Have you ever known anyone so blinded by his own stupidity and ignorance?

Unemployable bwhaaahaaaaa......oh wow Moffie 100 runs....let me guess 200 odd per innings is good in your cricketing book is it?
Apparently in your ignorant eyes v/Zyl showed that one could bat on that pitch...so making 30 odd and being ripped a spinner is showing the way is it?
Talk us through Amla shouldering arms....you cricket authority you.
Hey Denise have your oppressors found you yet

Wold Authority, talk me through why you would play three quicks on a spinners paradise as opposed to the Indians three spinners.....which I might add gave them the desired result.

No you dumb arse I am saying both sides failed but the pitch dictated that , SA more so than India. One of our players shouldering arms happens to be the 2nd best bat in the game.
The only time we played back was when the ball was dropped a little short or flatter as the one spinner did.
There is no real solution to playing on a pitch like that so pointing fingers is ignorance of the highest order.
3 of the best bats in the game played in that test, one being an Indian...if they could not master the pitch no one would.

Let me guess with those short, fat little legs you couldn't run quickly enough to bowl pace. And the short fat fingers negated spin....so you didn't bowl. Am I right?

Moffie what is clear is that you have never played cricket....but here is a challenge for you....next time you are in the UK come pay me a visit and we can have a net session to determine who can or who can't play the game.
You clearly have never played the game.
I open the batting and bowl spin. Used to bowl seam before my knee packed in. Too short at 6ft.....hmmm I think not....and 89kg is prime....try again coffin dodger.....but give me a shout and let's see how tough you are with me bowling to you. I won't be bowling any spin to you

Wrong Dave, I opened the bowling for my school first team and did the same in the navy. I was actually quite pacy....just as I remain very long with my driver....coordination helps.
Those who can't bowl fast bowl spin and make a virtue of it.
