When you are not strong enough to handle such stuff, you should refrain from giving it to others? He shows all the stares and lip words to the opposition but when he gets it back, he starts crying like a kid (the Bhajji slapgate incident is also proof).
We need a change here! SA are slowly starting to pound us.

This is not threatening at all from India. At least need to keep the runs in check. I don't know why they started the bouncer theory against the openers after they've failed pretty much every innings this series to normal bowling. These guys are not fast enough to trouble the Saffers with consistent short pitched stuff, and actually even Morkel showed earlier why pitching it short isn't gonna be as useful on this track.

I think it's a bad move by smith to send harris in, they need to score quickly at this moment to have a go at india's batsmen for at least 4 sessions.

Well played Tendulkar once again, Tendy-Laxman are the two men looking unstoppable despite their age.
A great effort by Tendulkar to resist an absolutely beautiful spell from steyn and Morkel.
And there goes Smith, a crucial wicket.

11 overs still to go, they should get Harris out, would smith send another night-watch man? and he goes 
Bhajji gets 2

Harris goes off a beauty from Bhajji. Good work from Bhajji.
Hashim Amla in.

Idiot Harris! Had he faced one more ball and got out, it would have been stumps. Now Amla has to face Bhajji.
Amla played those 4 balls very well. Looks so comfortable against the spinner. He is the big fish tomorrow if we have to penetrate through SA. Good day for India, though I wish we had got 20-30 runs more.

India's day ! That was excellent cricket today, this test is really well poised. Amla, De Villiers and Kallis are going to be the usual key men for South Africa. Harbhajan I think is going to bowl like a dream on here. He's bowled well , getting good bounce and a lot of spin. On tracks like this he's lethal, and may well be the difference between the two teams. Good stuff.
Bhajji looked so good in the overs that he has bowled so far, and those 2 wkts have titled back the scales in India's favor. He will be our key tomorrow, and hope they shine the ball on one side enough for Zaheer and Sreesanth to find good reverse swing.

well said.
Harbhajan is going to be the key man for India and Amla-Kallis will be the two key wickets to get.
These 3 persons will most likely decide the outcome of this test.
India might miss Raina's useful part time off spin bowling here. Its aiding spin quite a bit now and that could have been useful. But still, its not a case for Raina having been picked ahead of Pujara. Pujara is the right choice, and he needs to be given time. Dhoni can bowl Sachin and Sree/Zaheer can bowl some cutters tomorrow. Good thing is, SA too have only one spinner in Harris and he is nowhere near the class of Bhajji (who himself is not a great, but a very good bowler only). Also Harris will bowl against batsmen who are known to be good against spin.

Very good day of cricket. We were very unlucky early on, so many balls that just missed the edge. Steyn was brilliant and sachin played a great knock.
Very even. Anything over 250 will be very hard to get batting last. Pitch is still offering swing and seam especially with the new ball and is start to dust up as well.

Steyn's the one India are afraid of, Morkel to a small extent. Paul Harris on a ripping, dusty, puffy pitch still finds it hard to turn a ball so he's not gonna give the Indian batsmen any nightmares. This is when South Africa would wish they had a spinner who can spin the ball, maybe Imran Tahir can provide them with that.
