Talking Points:

  • India's missed opportunity to finally win a series in SA
  • Why the Cape Town pitch backfired on South Africa
  • India's lack of fast bowling depth - a sign of more struggles in future away series
  • Mohammad Siraj's dream spell on the first morning in Cape Town 
  • Dean Elgar's century: a tale of plays-and-misses and cashing in on poor bowling
  • Aiden Markram's astonishing attack
  • Where Rabada and Bumrah showed their class: figuring out the conditions
  • Rohit Sharma's comments about the pitch - and potential double-standards
  • Are these short Tests harming the format? Or are they ideal for entertainment?
