The first test is critical.

Amazing game in Kolkata just finished. Brilliant performance from the South African bowlers defending 123.
There's too much opinion and not enough fact.

Missed that due to my poor memory. Saw the score yesterday and wanted to watch the end !

Lots of pressure on Gambhir now. I think I read they've lost as many home games in 12 months as the previous 12 years or something insane like that

They keep on producing these type of pitches. I'm not surprised it sometimes smacks them in the face.

It would never have happened in the Sachin days.

They also aren't as good against spin as they used to be. Back when they had Dravid, Sachin and Laxman they could produce these sort of pitches and out bat the opposition.

These days, when it spins they struggle as much as the opposition. They've had Mitchell Santner and Simon Harmer skittle them. Even Joe Root got 5-9 or something mental a few years back
