Match finished in 4 days, one day for Kohli to have extended honeymoon

See the positive. If it was two different match, India would have won in second innings. #SAvIND

This is what happens when you pick useless turds like Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma. You fucking lose. #SAvIND

Gavaskar's commentary during an Indian collapse reminds me of desi parents after they see their child's report card.
— Hassan Cheema (@mediagag) January 8, 2018

The way Anushka is getting blamed for Kohli's wicket, I think she will end up being the highest wicket taker for India.
— Silly Point 🏏‏ (@FarziCricketer) January 8, 2018

Ravi Shastri's face after Virat Kohli's dismissal is my face right now.
— Trendulkar (@Trendulkar) January 8, 2018

That was always the fear on this pitch.. Philander is basically bowling straight for his wicket taking balls. #SAvIND
— KASHISH (@crickashish217) January 8, 2018

Why is the umpire giving it out when Philander himself isn't appealing?
Running crazily towards the keeper doesn't count.
— Karthik Lakshmanan (@lk_karthik) January 8, 2018

Only few people know Dhawan's middle name is 'Raina'. #SAvIND
— Silly Point 🏏‏ (@FarziCricketer) January 8, 2018

ChePu will now play for two days even if match gets over today.
— When is Bunty (@podidosai) January 8, 2018

Dhawan has done his job tbh. No one expected him to do more than this.
— stable genius (@atlasdanced) January 8, 2018

Dhawan plays the short ball from Morkel like he might the piano. Not very well at all. #SAvIND
— Anand Vasu (@anandvasu) January 8, 2018

Dhawan out. Why hasn't Vijay reviewed?#SAvsIND
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) January 8, 2018

How long before Murali Vijay starts to review balls for no balls and gets them right.#SAvsIND
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) January 8, 2018

There was enough gap between bat and ball for old Adnan Shami to pass through it. #Vijay #SAvIND
— Silly Point 🏏‏ (@FarziCricketer) January 8, 2018

Murali DRS-Vijay! #SAvIND
— Nikhil 🏏 (@CricCrazyNIKS) January 8, 2018

In normal pitches bat for time
Here its bat to avoid collapse #SAvIND
— bravoman (@an_usa_bar) January 8, 2018

Imagine watching the Big Bash while this #SAvIND Test is going on.

What's wrong with you people?
— Dennis Hindustani (@DennisCricket_) January 8, 2018

All the Indian openers need to do is survive the first 10-15 overs, just long enough that Kohli doesn't have to face the ball moving around. After that, it's him and the chase, and there's no one you'd have than him for it.
— Hassan Cheema (@mediagag) January 8, 2018

Philander didn't appeal. He did an Imran Tahir run before getting the wicket.#SAvInd
— Suneer (@suneerchowdhary) January 8, 2018

That's the best review India has ever taken not involving Dhoni #SAvsIND
— GoanPatiala (@TheGoanPatiala) January 8, 2018

Oh my, Vijay's review that appeared ridiculous at first, overturned. #SAvIndia
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) January 8, 2018

Shikhar Dhawan’s reaction after surviving the first ball... #SAvIND pic.twitter.com/4sl3iMjk7j
— The-Lying-Lama (@KyaUkhaadLega) January 8, 2018

Dropped catch, missed direct hit and clumsy mistimed pull. You need to compensate for this Dhawan #SAvIND
— GoanPatiala (@TheGoanPatiala) January 8, 2018

Oh wow, India need less than they got in the first innings to take the series lead! #SAvIND
— Gaurav Kalra (@gauravkalra75) January 8, 2018

Will Dale Steyn be the first Test Cricketer to walk out to bat from a dug out #SavsInd
— GoanPatiala (@TheGoanPatiala) January 8, 2018

ABD is soo selfish..Not joining his teammates in Pavilion & looking to Score fifty for himself #INDvSA
— 18🏏 (@Crichipster) January 8, 2018

South Africa bat deep. Maharaj is a handy batsman and the genius of de Villiers still around.
— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) January 8, 2018

Dear @SushmaSwaraj, a man named Keshav Maharaj is creating problems for Indians. Please look into this matter asap.#INDvSA
— Sunil- The Cricketer (@1sInto2s) January 8, 2018

This is not even a 'diabolical' or a 'minefield' pitch but SA are batting exactly like that. That too at home. #INDvSA
— Devarchit (@Devarchit) January 8, 2018

Also: Bumrah is hitting the deck well. Wear a helmet ABD #SAvsIND pic.twitter.com/JH2xRv3rKf
— GoanPatiala (@TheGoanPatiala) January 8, 2018

Don't worry Saha. Your appeal should be full throated. Keshav Maharaj isn't Ganguly. Just has Ganguly's nickname as his surname. #SAvsIND
— GoanPatiala (@TheGoanPatiala) January 8, 2018

Waste a review on AB not on Maharaj, but these guys are pumped and flying past Table mountain right now.#SAvIND
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) January 8, 2018

What a beautiful delivery by Shami. The only movement Philander made was to signal for a review #SAvIND
— GoanPatiala (@TheGoanPatiala) January 8, 2018

* Ramayan *
Ram * Asked Sita for Agni-Parikshaw *

Cricket commentator: Whoa! Sita is on fire
— Sunil- The Cricketer (@1sInto2s) January 8, 2018

Shami going at SA as if they're the Windies who've turned up for SRT's 100th.#SAvIND
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) January 8, 2018

Such a big admirer of Bumrah. He needed just one innings to know what he has to do in SA & he is doing that now. Focusing on accuracy & patience & reaping rewards. 👏👏👏👏#SAvIND
— Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) January 8, 2018

Kohli was sure about the nick, he was little unsure about Bumrah overstepping though #SAvsIND
— GoanPatiala (@TheGoanPatiala) January 8, 2018

Virat Kohli carrying the DRS legacy forward after MS Dhoni. #SAvIND
— Sameer Allana (@HitmanCricket) January 8, 2018

Good to see Bumrah stepping up but not stepping out.#SAvsIND
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) January 8, 2018

Hey @officialCSA , just a gentle reminder, this is where we start choking :)#SAvInd
— The-Lying-Lama (@KyaUkhaadLega) January 8, 2018

He can't catch.
He can't hit the stumps.
He can't score on overseas tours.

The Name Shikhar Dhawan.#INDvSA
— Sunil- The Cricketer (@1sInto2s) January 8, 2018

Go Shami go, give us AB.

Go AB go, give us more of that.#SAvsIND
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) January 8, 2018

Mohd Shami's initial burst of two wickets has opened up Test. Batting still not easy on this pitch, but India will fancy chasing around 250. ABD is the big obstacle!
