Yorkshire's Harry Brook has been added to the England's white-ball squad in the West Indies, owing to Sam Billings missing the start of the tour due to his call-up to the Ashes Test squad.

The lead that India achieved - albeit minimal - was entirely down to Kohli. Elevates the standing of that innings even more. Worth more actually, than many tons for the nature and value of it!! Decent start to their second innings too, although SA can stand tall with the way they grabbed two wickets with such outstanding bowling! This has been the best test match in a long time, and no Innings passing 250 let alone 300 (yet at least) The blueprint for what a cricket contest should be at this level.

India were 58-4 in their 2nd innings before Kohli & Pant compiled a 94 run 5th wicket partnership. Kohli ground out 29 from 143 balls. Pant made an unbeaten century from 139 balls, as only 14 runs were scored off the bat at the other end as South Africa were bowled out for 198. Extras accounted for 28 runs, as Rahul's 10 was the next highest score, with 8 players out for single figures. All the wickets fell to catches.

With the series in the balance at 1-1, but South Africa having the edge in this deciding match, India are accusing the South Africa host broadcaster who supply the tv & DRS technology of tampering with the results to benefit South Africa. If as expected, South Africa go on the win the series, this controversy will spoil what has been a great contest.
What should happen here is am official complaint over the technology should be lodged, after the match. There is a clear issue with the predictive element of DRS. In the recent Ashes series a ball bowled by Lyon was predicted to be bouncing way over the stumps which puzzled all concerned, much in the same as todays contentious delivery bowled by another spinner, Ashwin. Even the standing umpire Erasmus was heard to say that can't be right after he had given the original decision as out.

South Africa complete a 7 wicket win over India in the decisive 3rd Test, & take the series 2-1.

The South African bowling unit looks very good from what I have seen of it.
A very impressive series win too.

I loved the stat that Starc has a better batting average than Kohli over the last 2 years


RE: Cricket Banter - Boomerangutangangbang - 16-01-2022 05:09

^^ After 7 years, 69 matches, with 40 wins, Kohli has stepped down as India Test captain.

Ireland win the ODI series 2-1 against the West Indies, with a 2 wicket win in the 3rd ODI in Kingston.
