India v South Africa, 1st Test, Mohali, 5-9 November, 2015

As my Indian friends don't seem interested.

Looks like we are going to be spoilt for test coverage for the next week or so.

Indeed.

Should be good viewing.

saffies are a moral to win this...

I don't like South Africa's batting order. The lineup is very good but the order is rubbish. Du Pleases should be at five, not three, with Amla at three, and AB at four.

cannot see the bannies taking 20 wickets - irrespective of the batting order

They would have been stronger with de Kock in there somewhere. The Indians may struggle to take the wickets but so might the saffies. I heard an Indian scribe on radio the other night previewing this and he thought the pitches would favour spin if anything. Steyn et al might have their work cut out.

FMD. Indian pitches favouring spin. Whatever next.

How many tests in this series? 3?

I can only hope that there's at least something in the pitches to allow both sets of bowlers a chance of causing trouble. But I suspect they'll be cooked to order with the aim of nullifying Steyn and co.

Big scores for all the IPL superstars and DLF Maximums all over the place. They better get Danny Morrison in for the commentary so he can orgasm all over the place.

And Radaba gets a biggie for his first test wicket.

score widget looks grouse. three live games and theyre all tests

3 before lunch. I'll take that.

Shit. Didn't even know this was a test. Just assumed it was a JAMODI.

Grouse - 3 tests at the same time.

Good start by Saf.

It's amazing how dominant South Africa has been so far on this tour, considering it's in India. They really do adjust to conditions better than any other team in world cricket. That's why they're number one.
