Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

[Out of mind]

South Africa vs India today 2nd Test match has already started. South Africa team came out to bat first and scored 55 runs for 10 wickets in 32.2 overs. I didn't think that South Africa team will perform so badly. I thought South Africa team might  Can make like 150 runs but batsmen of South Africa team are all out to improve the bowling line of India team. Siraj bowler of India team took 6 wickets with 15 runs in 9 overs. Mukesh Kumar took 2 wickets in 2.2 overs with 0 runs. Bumrah  Took 2 wickets with 25 runs in 8 overs.

It was thought that the South African team might put up a good batting performance at their home ground today. But that was not the case, rather South Africa were bowled out for 55 runs on their own ground as their batting line was the weakest. But now India come to bat they have already lost 10 wickets, maybe they will be all out soon in today's match both teams have very bad batting line up. India team has collected 153 runs today after meeting the target given by South Africa, India team is already all out. Both India and South Africa's batsmen had poor batting performances in today's match, but India gave South Africa a 98-run lead for the second day.

That's a test cricket for you ladies and gents.

153/5 and then 153 all out lol. You can't be too comfortable no matter what, especially when a pitch is spicy and kind of lottery. Fingers crossed for 2 day match, have a bet on it.

Before the outcome of first innings, I thought that the Indian bowlers were good. After realising how it went after the end of Indian batting now, I am clear in my mind that this pitch is not for batters. Considering the way Indian batters lost wickets for just duck after the departure of KL Rahul, it is evident this is match meant for bowlers. The lead for South Africa is not that big as it is only of 94 runs. The South Africans can still be able to chase it without much efforts

In the second Test match between India and South Africa, the South African batsmen surrendered helplessly to the Indian bowlers. The South African team was all out for just 55 runs. I think South Africa performed very poorly in the second Test match. Because they were bowled out for just 55 runs in the Test match, it was really ridiculous. Siraj bowled brilliantly well, bowling just nine overs, conceding 15 runs and taking six wickets. India batsmen started well with only 55 runs left to bat. India will have more chances to win the second test match. Now let's see how many runs lead India can give to South Africa in the end. Because the Indian batsmen are batting very well, they are expected to give South Africa a big run lead.

It's been a long time since I saw Indian players batting so stupidly. 7 batsmen of the team could not add any run to the scoreboard.

Rohit scored 39, Gill scored 36 and Kohli scored 46. Besides, Rahul collected 8 runs. All but these four batsmen returned to the dressing room empty-handed. They needed to bat with some responsibility. The Indian team could not even take a lead of 100 runs. And I won't be at all surprised if India lose this match. I would say India is more likely to lose at the moment.

The game between these two teams of South Africa and India is very tight because South Africa plays much better than India at times and on the other hand India is a very strong team in the game of cricket so it is very difficult to predict between them. The game between these two teams was so tight that India scored only 153 runs in the first innings and South Africa scored only 55 runs. Both teams have very good quality bowlers.  So they lose wickets very quickly

153 Vs 6 wickets, India Vs south Africa



I can't believe we are not watching a test match between South Africa and India and we are seeing wickets raining. But another thing I can't believe is the fall of six wickets in India's 153 runs which is doubtful for the second time in history. India were up to four wickets at 153 but from then on it rained wickets with India losing five valuable wickets at 153 runs. I cannot accept that 22 wickets fell in just two sessions on the first day of a Test.



Not only that, six Indian batsmen were dismissed for 0 runs in this Test which is a record. I don't understand how Tests are played on this pitch because it is really surprising that two teams finish two innings in a Test on the first day. South Africa were bowled out for just 55 runs in the first innings India were bowled out for just 153 runs in their first innings. It can't be a test match in my view but a holy wicket game.

What is happening is unbelievable as on the first day, we would see the second innings to start. It is unbelievable for me as I have never seen a test cricket like today. South African batters are going good and we could see some good cricket in the second innings. I feel the pitch was made for such a test match cricket. I am not sure about it as I have never seen such a wicket ina test format..

In a surprisingly good batting performance, six players scored zero runs except for Mukesh Kumar of the Indian team. It really seems that it is not a test game, a test game is basically a long game. Looking at the performance of the players in today's match, it seems that they do not have the stamina, due to which they are not able to stay on the field for a long time. Only three players of the Indian team managed to score more runs and the rest of the players performed poorly. However, Mohammad Siraj was the best bowler of Indian team in terms of wicket taking. But the bowling performance of the South African team towards the last was good.

Pakistan scored 313 all out in the first innings, giving Australia a huge target. Pakistan batsmen Aamer Jamal and Rizwan both played brilliantly, which is why Pakistan team managed to score such a big score today. However, in the second innings, the Australian team came into the field with the aim of meeting the target given by Pakistan and two experienced batsmen at the crease. If the Australian team can perform as well as the first two tests, then they will definitely be able to fulfill the target given by Pakistan and give a huge lead. Australia team has collected 6 runs at the moment but still 307 behind Pakistan, so Australia will have to perform well to win the match against Pakistan.

The captain of the Pakistan test team was out with a common out, the ball was given by Marsh and it was swung Shan Masood tried to hit the ball to his bat, and it touched but the ball hit on the edge of Masood's bat, and after touching the ball was gone in the hands of Smith who present in the slip to catch a ball and he picked easily catch of Shan Masood, and when ball touched on the bat and gone at the slip Shan Masood turned back to see on the back that it caught or not and it caught but Masood was not happy with it.

India vs South Africa third test match India bowled very well to bowl South Africa out for just 55 runs. With a lead of 55 runs from South Africa, India lost one wicket in the beginning but the team was under a bit of pressure but Rohit Sharma and Gill's responsible batting made the team a little bit ahead. India's batsmen could not make such a good run, except Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and this batsman of India, no other batsman could make such a good run.  India were all out for just 155 runs. None of us really expected such batting from Indian batsmen. We might have thought that the way India batted with confidence, they might have given South Africa 200 or 300 runs. But unfortunately India's batting line is very strong but they  only 98 runs to South Africa.

Collecting 98 runs is also becoming difficult for South Africa. South Africa is not playing well in the second innings either. They lost their first wicket at 37 runs, and South Africa lost their third wicket at 45 runs. But Marakram is playing very responsibly. He is unbeaten with 28 runs. And South Africa still trail India by 45 runs. If South Africa are able to deliver a target of 150-180 runs then they have a chance to win. The pitch is completely bowling friendly. And probably within 2 days the match will be over. But I still think South Africa will probably win this match like the first match. Because Indian batsmen are not in good rhythm now.

[WatChe]

What a test match we are having between India and Sout Africa.

23 Wickets have gone down and still 10 overs left in today's play. Chances are that we will see result by tomorrow. Indian also don't have a big score in first innings but they manage to take a vital 98 runs lead. South Africa second innings is better then first innings so far. They need to give a target of 250 to win this game which looking not possible at the moment.

It has become very difficult to stop the fall of wickets in these Test match. In Test matches we don't usually see such low score especially when good teams are fighting. Neither India nor South Africa can score. The main cause of this condition is the pitch. But the match can be competitive even in low score. Current condition South Africa may win the match. On the other hand, India didn't get the form. The team's top order batsmen are not able to score they didn't perform in the first test and in the second Test too, it looked like South Africa would eventually win.

The Test match between India and South Africa is just a matter of wickets. India started well in the first innings of this Test match, but after seeing their 153 for 5 wickets, they were 153 all out. I was surprised to see how this could be possible. Look at how terrible Mohammad Siraj was in the first innings as he single-handedly picked up six wickets against South Africa. But I think India is still in a good position, they still have a chance to win this match.

South Africa lost all wickets by scoring 55 runs in the first innings but it looks like they can at least cross 200 runs in the second innings. Meanwhile, since India scored 153 runs in the first innings, India is already far ahead of South Africa.  And they haven't even played the second innings yet. So I think India will lose the match by 32 runs in the first test match but India will win the second test match. And there will be an equal winning streak with South Africa. as both the teams are very good, both the teams are not seen to collect many runs throughout the match

That's a test cricket for you ladies and gents.

153/5 and then 153 all out lol. You can't be too comfortable no matter what, especially when a pitch is spicy and kind of lottery. Fingers crossed for 2 day match, have a bet on it. 

India could have batted a little more cautious after some steady start but we can't blame them when the opposition winded up in double-digit score and that found to be their lowest score in the test inning's history.

I enjoyed watching this match to be honest because it's been a while that I witnessed, bowling dominated the entire three sessions and especially the long 10 over dream spell from Siraj. I don't expect the SA batting can withstand tomorrow morning session, then we likely will have the result before the day ends and probably India is going to level the series.

I feel the same way. It's tough to believe that a team like India went from 153/4 to 153 all out thanks to Ngidi and Rabada after tea. Mukesh Kumar already took some important wickets in the 2nd innings though Markram is hanging on.

If India get Markram quickly, it's game, set and match for the proteas. Excited to see how this crazy whirlwind of a test ends.

Today was totally dominated by the bowlers. I think the match will end tomorrow. Tomorrow will also be dominated by bowlers I believe. Mohammed Siraj literally destroyed South Africa's batting. It is the first time for me when the match has gone to the 3rd innings on the first day  . 3 of the South Africans did good as well to dismantle the Indian batters. South Africa is on the back foot right now and I believe India will win it tomorrow.

Pakistan scored enough runs to not be considered bad as Pakistan's 313 was enough for the first innings.  And Australia have started their game and if they play well then there is a possibility to surpass Pakistan's runs in the first innings but since Pakistan scored 313 runs if Pakistan can bowl a bit better then they can be ahead of Australia.  So to make a good prediction we have to wait a bit more and see how many wickets Australia can save

Rizwan was out by Pat Cummins in today's day. Rizwan just completed his century but he tried to hit six or four and this six or four has been not affordable for him.

Rizwan thinks that it was a short ball but it was almost length so he hit the shot fastly to the right side but the ball was gone in the hands of Hazlewood. He hit pull shot but the ball was not going inside the boundary and gone in the hands of the fielder but when he out the all crowd clap for him due to his wonderful performance.
