India tour of South Africa - 2013/14

Come on, India!!! This is going to be a very tight finish. One more wicket and India will be able to sense victory as Steyn and Tahir aren't great batsmen, and Morkel isn't going to be of much use. Ishant looked tired but hopefully that wicket has given him an adrenaline rush. Shami is still running in with energy. However, as the commentators said, Zaheer was bowled into the ground. As for Ashwin, well, it's better not to give him the ball. He's been useless.

We need a wicket, and need it immediately before the target is less than 40 away! I have sweaty palms as I`m typing. What a test match! We need Philander more than Faf. He is timing it well and looking confident.
 
This match is going to be a draw. My friend predicted this.

He said that there's four possible scenarios:
1. India completely outclasses SA and Ind win.
2. South Africa completely outclasses India and SA win.
3. India outclasses SA and SA play defensively for a draw.
4. SA outclasses Ind and India bowls negatively for a draw.

Prediction shows that the most likely scenario is a draw ever since the day started - 50%. Whereas a result is 25 and 25 at the highest. Right now, India winning is really unlikely. They wont take 4 wickets in 5 overs. SA winning is more likely because not much time/runs left. And again, the highest chance is of it being a tie.

How is that your friend predicting anything? He listed four possibilities. That's just throwing cards against the wall and hoping one sticks.
 
That one short ball outside the off stump and races toward the boundary. You also have to feel for the bowlers as they are getting tired.
 
Right now, the odds are 75% draw, 24% SA win, and 1% India win.

Edit: 7 runs off that Ishant over! Darn it!!!! I think Faf might now start to open up. India need to be really tight here
 
O man, you can't allow vernon to score so freely. 7 of that over, not good. If there's any chance of IND pulling this off, they need to get a wicket now!!
However, in no circumstances, they can afford to give more than 4 runs.
 
I would be very happy to go away with a draw here.... I don't want our efforts wasted with a defeat
 
I would just bowl Zaheer and Shami from here on in. Ishant bowls too many boundary balls in crunch situations.

Hehe, never mind then...
