Shocking scenes at Newlands, Cape Town. Saffers 55 all out v India in the second test. Siraj with 6/15.

Then India go from 153/4 to 153 all out in the space of 11 balls

Yeah, re-tuned in and Saffers were batting again. And talk about the 6 wickets for 0 runs.

[Holden Mcgroyne]

So India have decided who can play for England depending on their race.

Absolutely outrageous and if we pulled something similar there'd be riots.

I'd bin the whole tour, fuck 'em. .

[Zambo]

Nail-biting climax in the test. India need 29 with one wicket left.

[Zambo]

Won by 28 runs. Outstanding performances by Pope and Hartley.

To add to our boys’ phenomenal win, the Aussies lost to a makeshift Windies side on their home patch. What an amazing day of test cricket. Fuck limited overs cricket. Test is king just as cats are king.

Superb day of cricket.

I do agree, but have enjoyed watching the Aussie Big Bash League and now the SA20.

Aside the sun* and good action, I like the commentary styles as well.

*Apart from a mega storm yesterday at Centurion Park.

Harmy urging Bumrah to hold his length

Big Ben went for a long hard pull

[Carlos J]

Talk this morning of an epic run chase being possible scuppered as India won by 106 runs.

[Zambo]

Root being selected on reputation not form. How many times has he got out with reckless shots as well.

Root needs to ignore "Bazball", and just get back to batting like Joe Root. He always read the match situation, and played accordingly, and also at a fast rate, so cut out the silly shots and bat as Root has always done.

[Holden Mcgroyne]

Root is Bumrah's bunny,but he's good enough to come through. His Yorkshire colleague though is stealing a living at test level these days. Not his fault he was picked, but Foakes behind the stumps would have won us the Ashes last summer

[JW90]

That Crawley DRS was questionable.
