India in South Africa

[Adarsh]

Exactly. I hope it comes to the last session or so and the runrate being involved as well. That said, I still think it's 90% win to SA, 9% India, 1% draw due to rain.

I havent seen Dravid show much of positive intent through his captaincy period. I never really like him as captain! He is much better off as a player!

Don't mind him as a captain and I don't see who else can replace him. I guess Ganguly may if he becomes a regular member of the side but he of course as only played one series.

 

[Adarsh]

You can't be too attacking at this stage when you're defending a low total. Dravid has done okay, but I think Ganguly is more of a leader. They still call him dada (which means big brother) !

Meanwhile, Indian supporters join in!

Here we go: Indian Rain Dance, by Mahesh.

Step 1: Raise both hands in the air above your head.
Step 2: Wiggle your fingers.
Step 3: Swing your hands straight up and down while continuing to wiggle your fingers. Hands must remain straight and pointing in front at all times (no bending your elbows).
Step 4: (most important) Sway hips seductively while continuing Step 3.

Absolute classic!

The rain dance is working! The drizzle has become heavier and the covers are back on.

I would not like this to end as a damp squib.
Sorry , but India do not deserve to win after having let SA back in the game many times.

What I want is to play to resumefor a session !
That will make it interesting.
SA will have a run rate to achieve and that`ll make it interesting .
And if they lose a few wickets on top of that, it`ll make for one heck of a finish.

How India would have wished for another 20 runs or so.
Could`ve easily got another 30-40 runs had they been a bit positive in the second session yesterday.

The supersopper's run out of petrol :rtfl HAHAHA!
This is pathetic!

Play is about to resume soon :crying. If you're a true Indian supporter you would've been joining me in the rain dance.

Pollock may aswell do a Craig McMillian stance to Kumble to try and get him to stop bowling it far outside legstump.

But Pollock's raced to 35, if he stays in for atleast another half an hour then India are gone.

DAMN IT! Smith's out.

 

[surendar]

SA are about to touch the victory line soon! I missed the entire day's action as i wasn't in home the whole day! I was taken by suprise when i came back and saw the score! Cant believe that bowlers were unable to break the partnership between Pollock and Smith!

It seems Jumbo was effectless! Khan has picked three wickets! SA just need another 30+ runs to win this series.

 

[aussie_ben91]

LOL... The Sreesanth misfields! Kumble is going for runs now. A South African series is in the balance.

 

[Justcrazy]

INDIA on Course of Victory!

 

[borncricketer]

way to be optimistic

all SA need is another 8 runs....we need 6 wickets....its just a matter of time

 

[surendar]

Did rain played any role? ( as i missed the entire day's action, i dont knw what happened )

i remember Sai saying earlier that rain wud play some role! Well, SA are about to win here! It was a brilliant comeback by SAfricans in last two innings in particular

 

[borncricketer]

LOL Zak gets another wicket, but its too late, Kallis trying to finish the game off get himself out

Scores tied now.....

well there it is, i think the SA's deserved to win, they played much better positive cricket, and we gave up a really good chance to achieve a series win in SA

South Africa won the match and series. It was mostly a match against time and rain for South Africa, but nevertheless it was a tense match.

 

[Cricket_god]

I think it was a disappointing series from point of view of india after the start they had. Both durban and capetown were lost because of not taking
the key moments but also the standard of umpiring was forgettable.this series gave some new players wish they move to greater things from here

Also for the odi series my team would be

1-Sachin
2-Gambhir
3-Shewag
4-Ganguly
5-Dravid
6-Raina
7-kumble
8-yo mahesh
9-zaheer
10-munaf
11-ajit
12-harbhajan
13-rohit sharma
14-kaif
