Has the toss taken place?

 

[Adarsh]

No, no toss yet. There will be another inspection in 40 minutes' time, and then there'll be toss.

 

[AkshayS]

no, inspection is in 15 minutes time.

My dad is sitting in the ground right now, right next to the pavillion. He's met everyone - Sachin, Dravid, Dhoni, even SAers like Harris, Morkel, and SHAUN POLLOCK.

He says the players are practicing and they are about to start...so jealous beyond belief. Here I am about to take 2 exams today while my dad is enjoying a game of cricket...blegh.

 

[AkshayS]

^haha, your father is having really a good time there but lol bad luck for you.

Hope the play starts soon.

 

[deepuparayil]

Oh God.... there goes the match.

 

[AkshayS]

Finally, India will be batting and play will start from 3:00 PM local time, that is 6:30 IST.

 

[Aditya]

Dhoni should've send Gambhir for the toss, seriously.

 

[AkshayS]

since the conditions are very humid, we can expect amazing bowling conditions and Morkel Steyn to rip through Indian batting.

 

[jkartik]

So there you go! Advantage South Africa straight away.
its going to be a very tricky session this for the indians.

the pitch there looked really dangerous for the batsmen with green patches
all over.

i wont be surprised if we are 70/5 by the end of days play.

not to mention the blow to the indian bowling attack as ZAK is not playing.

 

[Ayub 95]

Sehwag goneeee!

 

[shravi]

What intelligent batting.

 

[Adarsh]

Steyn 1 - 0 Sehwag

Ha, cricinfo said the same thing.

 

[-D-S-B-]

On your bike son. Love watching these two bowl together, Morkel's getting it over 150kph but that's useless if he's going to spray it around like he did in that first over, Steyn's started nicely.

 

[Ayub 95]

Well that battle never lasted long.
