I was curious about that too. From the one article I read, they're trying to squeeze an extra spin bowling option into the team.
Seems weird to me.
They've already got three world class spinners and two world class seamers.
They can't all bowl at once.
It's harsh on Kuldeep - but, it's hard to see how you justify him as the weakest batsman - even though he's a bit different (left arm wrist spinner).

Pant goes, India in real trouble now

Harmer 2 for 3 from 6.3 and as a spinner can bowl all day

Yeah I see Sundar bowled a total of 1 over in this match. Although he's on track to top score for India so maybe they do know something? He's looked pretty handy when I've seen him bat.

@Cyclops I wonder if he tends to thrive against spin? I haven't watched him enough to know really

@Cyclops
Googling what they're saying about him - it doesn't seem life threatening.It sounds a lot like what those of us who are a bit older deal with frequently - with Voltaren etc.
His coach should be reading him stories of Sutcliffe and Blair!

Great win for SA!

I'm going to say that I honestly believe, if the Indians had put me in charge of selections and motivation - they would have won this test.

🏏Need to explain Test Cricket to a non-cricketing fan?❤️ 👂Get ready for the Ashes with this incredible description of the greatest game by @russellcrowe given to Joe Rogan in the US, we’re...
This is well worth a listen.
Russ has mellowed with age and is a great bloke when not throwing phones and being a cock.
Joe Rogan amazed and incredulous as only he can be and responding as all Americans do when confronted with cricket.
Russ explains things well although I don’t remember Martin Crowe being the Michael Jordan of cricket. Still, obviously very proud of his cousins and what they did.

India selecting a million all rounders and keepers instead of a top order comes back to bite them...
Watching highlights now. Some good bowling from The Proteas on a pitch that had settled a little by the looks.
The shots from KL Rahul, Jurel, and Pant were unforgiveable. Jadeja not much better on defence.
I don't think the extra
baybat would havebadgesmade a difference to the result
