[ioppolo]

The only seemed to get close thanks to Jansen's cameo. David Miller seemed to struggle at a time when he needed to get moving.

 

[NYRB]

Where the 3rd T20I was won.

India Extras: 0 no balls & 1 wide

South Africa Extras: 3 no balls & 10 wides

 

[NYRB]

One of the fans got clubbed on the face from a Samson 6 in the 4th T20I at the Bullring.

 

[NYRB]

Unpopular opinion. This side playing in South Africa, could be the current squad in Australia in the Test series. There I said it.

 

[NYRB]

India 200 up in 85 balls at the Bullring in the 4th T20I.

Coetzee has decided to return back on field after looking like he pulled up with a hammie.

 

[NYRB]

Records will be broken today at the Bullring with 5 overs or so to go.

 

[NYRB]

This is a 'where are you moment' similar to that 50 over game, when Aus total of 434 got chased down here by South Africa in an ODI (438)

Just sit back and watch history.

 

[NYRB]

Indias new plan in T20I, is to go on the attack at - all cost after the 6 Over powerplay, no matter what the conditions, no matter the opposition- And Im all for it, its a sight to behold.

 

[NYRB]

The days of Kohli coming in at nudging a few to get warmed up, the days of Dhoni getting a look-in are gone........

 

[NYRB]

And there was a time some of the past Indian players would worry about playing a tad cautiously when approaching a milestone, are gone. eg when approaching a ton .

Every ball matters in this format to them.

 

[NYRB]

Thats Samsons ton off 51 balls

 

[NYRB]

Back to back tons for Tilak Varma

Well played young man

100 off 41 balls.

 

[NYRB]

Tilak Varma lets out the f bomb for scoring a single in the penultimate over.

 

[NYRB]

This generation of cricketers in India are a different gravy.

 

[NYRB]

New record:

 

[NYRB]

Tilak Varma is striking the ball better than Samson.

Thats a scary thought.

 

[NYRB]

India post 283/1 in the 4th T20I.

All smiles on the India bench. South African players congratulating the pair.

 

[Saints4ever]

Exceptional batting from India.
I have no doubt that IPL prepares young Indian crickets to become stars of the national team.
A comp where they get to play with and against the best in the world is golden.

 

[Saints4ever]

Arahdeep strikes early and you just know South Africa will be lucky to get within 100 of this score.

 

[Saints4ever]

Nice commentary NYRB keep it up I always enjoy your work.

 

[Saints4ever]

Arshdeep strikes again.
South Africa in licence all sorts 3/10

 

[NYRB]

That looked plum for Klaasen.

 

[NYRB]

This is men v boys right now.

 

[Saints4ever]

Arshdeep with an absolute peach.
That moved a mile off the deck.
4/10

 

[NYRB]

Largest winning margin by runs (between ICC test status nations) is 168 runs by India over NZ.

That record is in danger right now.
