India’s bowling is so dross aside from Bumrah(that lad is top draw).
If the home side ditches their spinner, whom is pretty good, for an extra batsman.
Why on earth are the touring side picking Ashwin and more stupidly deeming him good enough to bat 7?
On a pitch doing all sorts Siraj, thr debutant and Thakur could hardly bowl two good deliveries in a row.

Elgar was outstanding. As was the masterful Rabada. Their debutant Berger looks a good find as well.

All this after Bavuma pulled a hammy.

Incredible trashing

India’s bowling turned out not to be dross after all

That was one pathetic excuse for a pitch. Glad noone was hurt badly with that uneven bounce. I am all for challenging pitches but this was just sub-standard!

Classic judgement from Allan Lamb:

"There been plenty said about all the wickets falling in Newlands between #SA vs #India personally having watched the highlights it looked like very poor batting and average bowling."

Combined with Ravi Shastri's dump comment:

Classic day.

This is commentary gold.

Everytime I have reheard it today, I have laughed. It gets better with each listen. It's the pause to "or drink" that makes it so good for me and Shastri's authoritative voice.
