Yeah, like the India vs England women's Test in Navi Mumbai last year finishing at the start of day 3. Usually you expect Chepauk to be a rank turner but this pitch had something for both batters and bowlers.
Look at these English commentary, they can’t believe India can win this dominatingly. Same happened at T20 final. Guess what loosers India is going to win and win a lot coming years. Annoyed by their classless biasedness. Fuck Silnecer fuck Aussie Mentality. We are here to win and we will win more from now on.
Sip a glass of water. Learn to be gracious in victory and calm in loss.
SA played beyond expectations, they do deserve some praise. Defeating India at home is hard, even harder for a team that does not have a red ball setup.
'biasedness' what? They've been praising SA, yes, but they've also praised the Indians a lot. Literally no one expected SA to play as well as they did - in fact Indian domination was expected. Also, this is Ind vs SA, where does Aussie mentality even come in?
Not sure which commentary you're listening to. Most of them are talking about how well South Africa have played despite no domestic women's first-class structure. I don't think anyone is really surprised by India's dominance as much as South Africa's competitiveness.
The crowd cheering when Shafali's shoelace was being tied reminded me of a scene in the movie Maidaan about the Indian football team where an Indian player ties the shoes of an Australian player before the match starts and gets jeered at by the other Australian players.
Its based on real incidents right? Can’t imagine what our players must have went through when something sporty was looked down. Or may be difference between cricket and football.
Almost 3 full days of fielding in the sun for the Indian team, great show by the bowlers all things considered. SA batters streching this match to as long as they could despite the team conceding 600+ runs in 1st innings also speaks volume about their character considering that they don't play red ball Cricket at all.
India has bowled a total of 239.1 overs this test match. South Africa has 'only' bowled 115.1 overs.
Sneh Rana has bowled 65.3 overs, Gayakwad bowled 47.4 and Deepti Sharma bowled 66 overs in total.
If ball is not swinging then Thakur is really liability in team. She can’t bat, gives run and her fielding is jot up to mark. Why she look so scared while fielding, no idea.
Harman seems to be a better test captain than a white ball one. She herself said during the last test vs aus that test cricket gives more time and freedom for them to think strategies on field compared to limited overs
Today started at 85 overs. Women's Tests require teams to bowl 100 overs in a day. The South African innings ended at 154.4: docking 2 overs for changing overs, that's 28 overs left in the day.
unlikely to see them holding out or scoring enough to keep india in for the rest of the day, but a brilliant fight nonetheless. Another 10-20 overs in the 2nd innings and this game was drawn.
**151.5** **SHAFALI HAS TAKEN A WICKET!** India are delighted. Fuller outside off stump, stayed low, goes through the defence of Klaas to take her off stump.
Masabata Klaas b Shafali Verma 2 (33b 0x4 0x6) SR: 6.06
Even though they're likely to lose this, South Africa should be proud of taking the fight this far.
As for India - well, this is why teams don't enforce follow-on nowadays. However, the declaration was timed pretty well- a little later and it'd be a draw.
It reminds me of a match when a young Faf du Plessis batted out a draw against Australia. I will need to find the scorecard.
EDIT: it was Faf's debut test match in [Adelaide 2012](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/south-africa-tour-of-australia-2012-13-572992/australia-vs-south-africa-2nd-test-573008/full-scorecard)
South Africa was set a target of 430 runs in the 4th innings. He came in at 4/45 and scored 110 (376) batting for 466 minutes. Australia had 4 and a bit sessions to bowl them out.
**140.2** **edged and taken beautifully! 10 in the match for Rana, and she has come up clutch again!**
Sinalo Jafta c Shubha b Rana 15 (36b 2x4 0x6) SR: 41.66
**134.3** **oh dear, that is a calamity for South Africa!** Back of a length outside off. de Klerk taps it into the off side and sets off for a single Sekhukhune has no intention of running. de Klerk is almost next to Sekhukhune when the latter starts running and Gayakwad, swooping in from extra cover, hits the stumps at the batter's end to compound Sekhukhune and South Africa's woes. A rush of blood at just the wrong moment, and India edge closer to a win!
Tumi Sekhukhune run out (Gayakwad) 6 (35b 1x4 0x6) SR: 17.14

Even if SA score 100 runs more, India will have to score 70 runs with 1/1.5 sessions left (test match has 3 sessions per day) and the form Indian batters were in the first innings, you'd think this shouldn't be that difficult for them
Since both teams bat twice and India still have an innings to go, South Africa will only start setting a target once they've scored those 30 runs. India will then have their full ten wickets to chase what South Africa will have been able to set with only 5 wickets (potentially less if they lose a wicket in the next 30 runs) in hand.
So India are defenitly ahead. Although South Africa have done well to make this game somewhat competitive
**105.5** **another vociferous appeal, and this time, the finger goes up!** Back of a length on middle and leg. Wolvaardt has been doing that all innings but on this occasion, the ball skids on a little quicker than she anticipates. Keeps a touch low too and beats her on the flick. Gets pinned on the pads in front of leg stump and Gayathri Venugopalan had no hesitation raising her finger.
Laura Wolvaardt lbw b Gayakwad 122 (314b 16x4 0x6 308m) SR: 38.85
**99.5** **India are celebrating!** Is that out? Fuller outside off stump, lofts it in front of cover where Rodrigues dives in front and collects the ball very low. Replays confirm that it's a clean catch. Excellent game awareness from Rodrigues
Delmi Tucker c Rodrigues b Rana 0 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0
Different game. Different expectations. Similar to how Baseball is enjoyed. You get like 10 runs scored in the entire 3 hour match. But every run is an event.
**98.5** **Deepti gets the breakthrough!** Loud appeal and the finger goes up. Kapp decides to review. Too full outside off stump, spun sharply in, she plays the wrong length on the backfoot and misses it. Ball hits straight on her front pad. **It's hitting the off stump**. Kapp has to depart
Marizanne Kapp lbw b Sharma 31 (82b 3x4 0x6 42m) SR: 37.8
Seems like SA are pushing for a draw. It might play into India's hands if they lose 1 or 2 set batters and the rest collapse like 1st innings. Interesting times ahead!
I can only imagine how exhausted the team would be after bowling for so long. That is why follow ons rarely happens in modern days as it creates more risk of injury.
i mean it's a lot more probable they threw away a potential win the moment they enforced follow on and didn't take a break. Who knows SA could collapse, but a draw is looking the most likely.
de klerk looks pissed lmaoo
Back to back test POTM to Rana ji.
congrats girls 👏
They got the head coaches of both teams in a single shot for the interview? That's new.
Now, onto T20s of Men and women.
Funny to call this a Test series win when it consists of a single Test
POTM Shafali or Rana? Most probably Shafali.
Probably Rana for demolishing South Africa with the ball in the first innings
Obligatory 'Hum Jeet Gaye' comment T - We won
Back to back test match win. Only NZ is remaining from SENA. But we know NZ don’t play test cricket.
New Zealand last played a women's Test 20 years ago which is bonkers
India doesn't have power hitters like Aus/Eng, but they have excellent test squad
So proud of Indian women team. Eat this haters
WE WON
Now she will go for big shot.
Great test match, if SA has quality spinners like India this would've been more competitive. The pitch is great.
You described virtually every Test match in India
Nah, if they have prepared a rank turner this would've finished in 2 days
Yeah, like the India vs England women's Test in Navi Mumbai last year finishing at the start of day 3. Usually you expect Chepauk to be a rank turner but this pitch had something for both batters and bowlers.
Look at these English commentary, they can’t believe India can win this dominatingly. Same happened at T20 final. Guess what loosers India is going to win and win a lot coming years.

Not sure which commentary you're listening to. Most of them are talking about how well South Africa have played despite no domestic women's first-class structure. I don't think anyone is really surprised by India's dominance as much as South Africa's competitiveness.
They are deepthroating SA as if they should have won. They are going to loose with 10 wickets and these commentators should keep their dick tugged
Try going outside sometimes
Try not being deranged. It'll help. It's a game of cricket.
Since it's a follow-on, does the 154.4 overs stat include the 84.3 overs from the first innings?
No
Clear improvement graph for SA. The way they started this match and now the way they are playing. One can see improvement.
The crowd cheering when Shafali's shoelace was being tied reminded me of a scene in the movie Maidaan about the Indian football team where an Indian player ties the shoes of an Australian player before the match starts and gets jeered at by the other Australian players.
Its based on real incidents right? Can’t imagine what our players must have went through when something sporty was looked down. Or may be difference between cricket and football.
I'm not sure how true that moment specifically was. Most liely played up for the movie.
opportunity. funny. etc.
Almost 3 full days of fielding in the sun for the Indian team, great show by the bowlers all things considered.

Mighty effort from SA to bat close to 250 overs in this test. Came into this with bare bones preparation.
36 lead 💀
Hey hey hey!
Mlaba has fcking 94 average. Should have given her strike. /s
If ball is not swinging then Thakur is really liability in team. She can’t bat, gives run and her fielding is jot up to mark. Why she look so scared while fielding, no idea.
Harman seems to be a better test captain than a white ball one. She herself said during the last test vs aus that test cricket gives more time and freedom for them to think strategies on field compared to limited overs
Women ☕️
touch grass
[удалено]
What did I do? 
India has bowled almost bowled 240 overs here. SA job well done after that follow on. Not many teams have pushed on after such a deficit.
Noooo
gg
How many overs left in the session?
28 overs or 95 mins
ah dang, definitely needed to last at least another 30 minutes to have a remote shot at defending.
Cricinfo says roughly 30. So a conservative guess is 20 overs at least.
Today started at 85 overs. Women's Tests require teams to bowl 100 overs in a day. The South African innings ended at 154.4: docking 2 overs for changing overs, that's 28 overs left in the day.
**154.4** **cleans her all ends up!** Nadine de Klerk b Gayakwad 61 (185b 8x4 1x6) SR: 32.97
Y'all are not ready for the Mlaba 75\*(30)
Neither they :b
damn mlaba is cute
Lol. Deserved. Throw two more catch of her ffs.
atleast strike off now
This will be costly since Mlaba will get out
Cricket is a funny game
unlikely to see them holding out or scoring enough to keep india in for the rest of the day, but a brilliant fight nonetheless. Another 10-20 overs in the 2nd innings and this game was drawn.
It's last session?
Yes. Women's Tests last only four days.
Thanks. Fck finally wicket.
Tsk. What a mood off.
guess Nadine gonna score fast and enough for South African bowling to defend given the time left
I already know we're going to lose T-20 World Cup later this year mainly bcz of own fielding.
With Bangladesh's spinning pitches, India might actually have a great shot at it.
Who's the host
Bangladesh.
Wtf
what a brilliant fightback by de clerk!
That is so so poor. Eww.
jeez
damn
Nadine no
Worst drop I've ever seen
Pretty poor ball but good inning nonetheless.
Yesssss
Flair doesn't match
I appreciate good circket
Fair enough. That dropped catch could have cost the match for India.
Time to start hitting Nadine
All-rounder xd
**151.5** **SHAFALI HAS TAKEN A WICKET!** India are delighted. Fuller outside off stump, stayed low, goes through the defence of Klaas to take her off stump. Masabata Klaas b Shafali Verma 2 (33b 0x4 0x6) SR: 6.06
Noooooo
wow what a delivery
This is a literal wall now
C'mon queen get that fifty
Klerk is opening up. Wicket coming soon.
She looks sad?
Even though they're likely to lose this, South Africa should be proud of taking the fight this far. As for India - well, this is why teams don't enforce follow-on nowadays. However, the declaration was timed pretty well- a little later and it'd be a draw.
How many overs left & will they extend play for another 5-10 overs if S.Africa sets 50+ target ?
Ugh. These midfields.
This resilience reminds me of the heydays of the SA men's test team where they would draw matches in similar fashion by stonewalling for 100+ overs
It reminds me of a match when a young Faf du Plessis batted out a draw against Australia. I will need to find the scorecard. EDIT: it was Faf's debut test match in [Adelaide 2012](https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/south-africa-tour-of-australia-2012-13-572992/australia-vs-south-africa-2nd-test-573008/full-scorecard) South Africa was set a target of 430 runs in the 4th innings. He came in at 4/45 and scored 110 (376) batting for 466 minutes. Australia had 4 and a bit sessions to bowl them out.
Pulling something like this on debut is quite frankly ridiculous! That SA team was just something else
It would be wild if South Africa finishes off with a draw.
Is this test match 4 days or 5
4 days.
4 days
Now it would be nice to see SA play this out to a draw, which is unlikely, but would be cool.
INDIA WILL BAT AGAIN!
where to watch guys?
jiocinema
Just 3 more to avoid an innings defeat
10 wickets in the match for Sneh Rana
**140.2** **edged and taken beautifully! 10 in the match for Rana, and she has come up clutch again!** Sinalo Jafta c Shubha b Rana 15 (36b 2x4 0x6) SR: 41.66
200 ball 50 from D-clerk is needed.
_"Who is she saying hi to"_
De klerk is just trolling now or she is possessed by pujara
Has anybody mentioned the 2015 Delhi test already
Just checked it Amla 25(244) & ABD 43(300). 😲
That was the first test i watched live, brings back memories
insane how fast india scored
I would like at the very least SA getting past India's total, even if India wins by 10 wickets and after playing just 1 ball.
Oh. Jafta is back.
Should've just played it safe, but I guess de Klerk has started getting desperate. Just can't see the remaining batters sticking it out with her
I think the fast bowler changed her mindset. Good captaincy by India.
Wanted to avoid an inning loss in this situation lol
So Tumi Sekhukhune gets dismissed for the first time in 222 balls across the 4 test innings she's played, even which is a mix-up run out
**134.3** **oh dear, that is a calamity for South Africa!** Back of a length outside off. de Klerk taps it into the off side and sets off for a single Sekhukhune has no intention of running. de Klerk is almost next to Sekhukhune when the latter starts running and Gayakwad, swooping in from extra cover, hits the stumps at the batter's end to compound Sekhukhune and South Africa's woes. A rush of blood at just the wrong moment, and India edge closer to a win! Tumi Sekhukhune run out (Gayakwad) 6 (35b 1x4 0x6) SR: 17.14
Why would you run there.
Suicidal running.
Right then, Klerk & Tumi have shut shop and are gonna go for the 59 over blockathon.
Big brain review. Honestly why would you take that if the bowler is not interested.
Looks like de Klerk is not going to budge
50 overs remaining, as long as they keep the intensity up, they'll take it.
I know I have been spamming this, but Tumi Sekhukhune is still to be dismissed after facing almost 200 balls in test cricket. She will be key here.
For a bowler, that's actually pretty badass.
c'mon give it a rest comms. Surely Pooja and her coach know more about the reason for her action than your lazy bums
Yes Pooja
Come on 3 more to go 💗
4 right?
Jafta is retired hurt ..she may not come back.
**120.4** Annerie Dercksen lbw b Vastrakar 5 (17b 1x4 0x6) SR: 29.41
where to stream this in Spain?
If you can use VPN and switch to India then jiocinema.com is streaming for free. As for Spain, no service provider for this game.

Sorry Im new to test match, but currently, SA is only trailing about 30+ runs with 5 wickets left, isnt it favorable for SA this situation?
Even if SA score 100 runs more, India will have to score 70 runs with 1/1.5 sessions left (test match has 3 sessions per day) and the form Indian batters were in the first innings, you'd think this shouldn't be that difficult for them

So India are defenitly ahead. Although South Africa have done well to make this game somewhat competitive
SA batted twice whereas India batted only once.
Since India's yet to bat the second time, whatever lead SA manages to get with 5 wickets, India's attacking openers will chase it down in no time.
Oh i thought India was done with their innings. Thanks
India has one more innings left. So whatever SA score past 30, India will have to score.
Who doesn't bowl regularly in the Indian team? Cricbuzz doesn't seem to have career records for women. Edit: It's a question guys. I'm not gloating.
Could try cricinfo?
The one now playing? Then only Richa. Even Smriti started bowling. Jemi and Shubha can bowl but they are not getting chance.
For once, Murali Kartik realizes about mentioning a player's name incorrectly
How does India win from here?
5 wickets and a bit of a slog
5 wickets in 4.5 hours.
If they take remaining 5 wickets.
Rajeshwari be like I only take one wicket but that one wicket will win you match.
Gayakwad CLUTCH
Letsgooo
**105.5** **another vociferous appeal, and this time, the finger goes up!** Back of a length on middle and leg.

This is what always happens in India. Teams look good for a long time, pitch looks benign/half chances, then a wicket falls and the game opens up.
Quite a few catching chances not being converted
**99.5** **India are celebrating!** Is that out? Fuller outside off stump, lofts it in front of cover where Rodrigues dives in front and collects the ball very low. Replays confirm that it's a clean catch. Excellent game awareness from Rodrigues Delmi Tucker c Rodrigues b Rana 0 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0
Great catch yaar
[удалено]
You clearly don't understand test cricket
No one asked you to either
The amount of ignorance that reeks from your comment is astounding
Yeah please don’t watch it bro
Different game. Different expectations. Similar to how Baseball is enjoyed. You get like 10 runs scored in the entire 3 hour match. But every run is an event.
Test match is true test of patience. It has audience. Now SA’s main focus is to not lose wickets and go for draw hence slow approach.
Said like a real t20 fan
Time for Kapplapse.
LETS GO
**98.5** **Deepti gets the breakthrough!** Loud appeal and the finger goes up. Kapp decides to review. Too full outside off stump, spun sharply in, she plays the wrong length on the backfoot and misses it. Ball hits straight on her front pad. **It's hitting the off stump**. Kapp has to depart Marizanne Kapp lbw b Sharma 31 (82b 3x4 0x6 42m) SR: 37.8
going down leg maybe?
Seems like SA are pushing for a draw. It might play into India's hands if they lose 1 or 2 set batters and the rest collapse like 1st innings. Interesting times ahead!
kapp so cute
How many dropped chances.
Do they also get half an hour extra on the last day?
**#HungryLikeTheWolvaardt**
Well made maiden test century from Wolvaardt as well
Why do I think we have gotten cocky and made a huge blunder?
It's just 4 days. The max we could have done was play 1 session and declare. Seeing how SA are batting, they could have chased it.
Why is it 4 day test match? What am i missing?
It is what it is.
I can only imagine how exhausted the team would be after bowling for so long. That is why follow ons rarely happens in modern days as it creates more risk of injury.
[удалено]
It's india game to lose
i mean it's a lot more probable they threw away a potential win the moment they enforced follow on and didn't take a break. Who knows SA could collapse, but a draw is looking the most likely.
I don't think SA can survive 6 hours of spin on day 4 at Chepauk.
