India South Africa 1st Test Match @ Nagpur - Day 1

A few observations

  • Rohit Sharma likes football more than Cricket

  • Harbhajan Singh, Amit Mishra can turn the ball, but cannot get wickets even on a turning pitch @ Home

  • South Africa 2 down for 6 in 6 overs. And then no wicket the whole day! What a classic...

  • India drop 1.5 half chances. Add these 2 wickets, pressure, good fielding and count in one more. 300 for 5 would have been a 50-50% score

  • Don't worry about who is playing and who is not. If India are to save this match, they must score (At least) 500 in the first innings

  • Why don't India play/groom an All Rounder like Abhishek Nayar? Would have been so useful to have a fifth (legitimate) bowler on such a hard day in the field
  • Kallis is THE BEST

  • Hashim Amla has turned out to be an under-rated out-performer

  • All Indian bowlers lacked teeth except Zaks-Zaheer-Khan who was good at the start of the day.

  • Empty stands on a weekend in a much-anticipated Test match? Disappointing...
