Story India vs South Africa - 3 Test Match Series [C2005]

Something for the Indians fans to celebrate

Dhoni too ultimately falls to Shaun Pollock

And Nel picks up his first wicket to end the Indian innings for just 146

A fantastic bowling performance from the Proteas, and they have taken the early initiative in this test match. India on the other hand have it all to do now, and its going to be might hard for them as well to get something out of this match. A rather pathetic batting display to say the least.

Just imagine what would have happened had it not been for Dhoni's gutsy 56.

Shaun Pollock was the star of the show today

A quick look at M. Dhoni's spider.

Good Luck Vaughnie, You have the talent in the bowling department and maybee the pitch will take a bit of spin, see how it goes.

The Indians take to the field, and we are expected to have another 6-7 overs before the players had back for Tea.

Nothing major happened in those six overs. The Indian bowlers have kept it tight but too be honest both the South African batsmen just played it safe and dint do anything foolish which could risk a wicket or two.

A look at the South African batting cards and India's bowling.

So this is the situation at tea then. South Africa trail by just 140 runs, and have their full 10 wickets in hand. India have to produce something special from here on to get back into this match. Will Ganguly's men be able to do it? Well only time will tell.

Do stay tuned for all the action!

Yup and I should have picked a second spinner in Anil Kumble.

Love the animation of Nel catching Ganguly. Doing a great job.

Post this in the Cricket 2005 forum, not in the middle of a story.

So, is batting really that much harder to adjust to? Interesting story. I hope my computer will be able to support the game, hehe.

It should work on any PC with or better than a P-III 700Mhz, 256 MB RAM, with a 32MB 3d card.
