🚨 Glenn Mcgrath all 157 Wickets in Ashes

So disappointed we won't get to see Rabada swinging it at the Eden Gardens

They should have started at 9 am in Kolkata

South Africa to bat and will be up against four spinners. Good time to revisit their spin resurgence in Bangladesh and Pakistan across the last 12 months.🏏 #INDvSA cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/1…

Glad no pan bahar banners adorning those iconic floodlight towers this time

Remember Eden Gardens being the kind of venue where you can be 150/0 and then be all out for 325

It's a bunsen. #INDvSA

Black soil pitch but lovely bounce here. So glad Eden has evolved from the slow-low pitches

Is this India's biggest ever opening for a home test in recent times on a weekday? Maybe last 5 years.

Bit surprised by Eden Gardens pitch. It's always a well-rolled surface here and you expect it to settle down since it was relaid in 2016. And Ganguly said India didn't ask for a dry pitch (not that they've always got what they've asked here)

A reminder that India failed to chase a target of 147 vs NZ in Mumbai few months ago, in what were much less difficult conditions that what we've at the Eden Gardens 👀

Playing 136 balls and staying unbeaten on this pitch is unbelievable stuff. One of the great innings from Temba Bavuma that's given SA a chance of winning a Test in India.

This is turning quicker and sharper than even Wankhede

Still can't make sense of the whys and hows of this pitch at Eden Gardens for a Test match it's hosting after 6 years

Would have been easy to drop that catch with the crowd behind India but Bavuma does it again

Great win for SA but you’ve got to feel for India. A transitioning team full of potential but a bit out of ideas about what conditions they want at home. They've high standards to live up to, defending a home base where the previous Indian team at its peak lost 3 Tests in 10 yrs

In this match, India played four spinners who could walk into most XIs around the world as frontline options. Add a generational pacer in Bumrah and they’re good enough to win on genuinely good pitches at home too, especially with the young, promising batters they in their ranks

The time for overseas offspinners in India is finally here

There were no demons in this wicket. It wasn't unplayable. If we keep talking about the wicket, the majority of the wickets were by the seamers. This was a pitch where your technique, mental toughness and temparement was tested ~ Gautam Gambhir #INDvSA
