2nd test b/w South Africa vs India, this is an important match for India to save this series. If they lose this game, i think it will affect on there test ranking. Let 's see they will bounce back or they will repeat the history.

3rd ODI b/w NZ vs Pakistan, This is also an important game for Pakistan if they lose this game they are going to lose series too. NZ is leading this series by 2-0.

Actually South Africa bowled well, 1st innings India bowled out 209 runs and 2nd innings just 135 runs. The advantage for South Africa as they scored 286 runs in 1st innings, or else India may win this match.
But Philander bowled superbly in 2nd innings.
The difference between the two teams is that South Africa played bowled really well to restrict India in the first and second innings and both teams were struggling in the second innings and the first innings lead gave South Africa the edge,the entire series will be between the Indian batsmen and the South African bowlers and i am going with the home team.

Everyone knows that India so far never win any test series in SA so by looking at last match Indian performance this time also there won't be any big difference. They will lose this series for sure and they can't even try to draw the test match because of these fast tracks most of the matches may end in the 4th day itself. Only rain can help for the Indian team to get any match draw in this series.
Yes Asian teams will struggle to bat in fast tracks. but Indian team is good to compare other Asian teams I don't think they repeat history once again in this series. They will bounce back in next test match. One thing I will agree on this fast tracks it is tough to make any match Draw for the Indian team.

This series is probably going to repeat the history, India won't bounce back. Performance of Indian batsmen in last test was below average. The only good player on fast tracks in their team is Pandya, he looked better than Kohli in batting. At least he plays carefree.


From tomorrow we have the 2nd Test Match at Centurion. It will not be easy for India to bounce back and as per Greame Smith SA will the series by 2-0. I also think the series will be won by SA. It will be good to see how many players do India change in tomorrow match. Will they change any bowlers will be interesting to watch.

Ireland beat UAE by 4 wickets in Dubai. Matches between 'minnows' can usually go either way, but Ireland are a strong team. They are the favourites in the tri-series being played between UAE, Ireland and Scotland. It is good for the cricketing world if Ireland improves and they even have a couple of matches scheduled against India in the first half of 2018.
But these teams can give good entertainment in limited overs games because this can go in any way for test these are still very low quality as they need too much hard work for this playing only twenty/20 and ODI's are much better for them but ICC give test cap to Afghanistan and Ireland which is not wise decision

They should play more international matches with some full members as it will give them confidence if they managed to get single win against the teams like india, australia and south africa. We have best examples of bangladesh and afghanistan, they got the chances and they proved their capabilities to the world by defeating top teams and performing consistently at international level.

I'm looking forward to the 1st ODI match between Australia and England. I'm actually going to this match as its in my city, I just hope England put up a better performance then what they showed in the test series. England do have a good one day team so it should hopefully be an even series with Australia most likely winning but I hope it is a lot closer then the test series.

Who is going to win the Sydney Thunder vs Perth Scorchers match in BBL? I made a bet in favor of Thunder and let's see how it turns out to be. Thunder made a massive score bating first (175/4), with Khawaja making 85. Perth is struggling, at 20/1 (Bosisto is the man who got out).

Really very disappointed to see India loosing that match after exceptional performance from the bowlers in the second innings...only 208 odd runs to change they had a great chance of winning.. but some great bowling from philander took the match away from indians

SA came back strongly, considering they got all out in 130 runs in 2nd innings. This would have demoralized them as they did not have a big score on the board to defend but still their bowlers bowled good length and line to get the quick Indian wickets which led them win the match.

New Zealand have won the second ODI as well against Pakistan. This match was interrupted by rain too, but New Zealand didn't let that worry them.  Pakistan scored 246/9 in their allocated 50 overs. Although New Zealand were set a target of 151 in 25 overs, they managed to achieve it with ease thanks to Guptill's unbeaten 86.

This is bowling pitch so Batsman is struggling to make a big score. India lost one more wicket 103/7. need 105 runs i think it is not possible. SA will win.

Guys, it's over. India bowled out for just 135, with Vernon Philander taking six wickets. I would have bet on India and lost my money, but fortunately I decided to skip this match. And BTW, I don't know why they are including Ashwin in the playing XI. He is good only in Indian conditions. He can never perform in countries such as South Africa and Australia.
I think they are soon going to change the playing XI Ashwin was kept in because he is the best spinner India has. Turn in South african conditions is really difficult thing to do. But in this match I think it was the Indian batting squad at fault. I mean there wasn't even a single person except Bhuvneshwar Kumar who was able to judge the swing in the ball. I think its better if they bring Rahane in he is a better batsmen of tough conditions but it will be a hard choice to make that who will skip the match.
I think they will not drop Ashwin he is the only spinner is playing on the Indian team, maybe they will drop Murali Vijay and bring back Rahane in his place. This is the only option left for Indian Team.

Congrats South Africa.

The Indian team management's decision to keep Ajinkya Rahane out of the playing 11 was totally wrong. Ajinkya Rahane is one of the finest test player and he has very successful overseas record. I think Ajinkya Rahane should be in team replacing Rohit Sharma, no doubt Sharma is good batsman but you can not forget test specialist like rahane. Indian team should correct their mistake in the next match which could turn the table for them.
I think the reason for keeping Sharma in the squad was his recent great form which clearly makes him number 1 batsmen in the world. But yes you are right when it comes to south African pitches we need someone who has more technique than bat flow. Rahane will be in for the next match.
Sharma is an unpredictable batsman and he played outstanding in the previous series so I think BCCI will not drop Sharma. The only choice is as I told Murali Vijay, compare to him Sharma is far better. But I believe they will play with the same team in next test match.

Today's day was in favor of South Africa and they had a total control of their innings and once the rain started, this became a spoiler of the day with the match not in control of any of the teams.
South Africa is a favorite team. They have much stability in their game. From a time, when they were one of the top most amazing teams of the world, to the current scenario, although they went down but still they have much potential and better than many teams. As far as this game is concentered, yes SA had shown a better picture of cricket, successfully controlling and making things in their own account.
I agree with you but India is already one of the greatest side you can compare South Africa with. They too have a great potential o world class cricket but I think they need to play a bit more cricket outside the subcontinent as playing just at home is making their team much more rigid.
