Indian tour of South Africa, December-January 2010/11

It's gonna be more humiliating than our batting performance when Amla and Devilliers gonna pile up tons on the same pitch.

If Raina gets out for another low score in 2nd innings, would ya guys still back his selection for the next test or replace him on basis of his low test scores in previous few matches; bear in mind this is his first test outside subcontinent.

 

[Meet]

he should be removed
Pujara should be given the chance instead

Give it up Bhajji/Tsotsobe making you both look stupid, just play cricket.

I'd give him another chance. Like you said its his first test outside subcontinent.

And there he goes Boucher under the legs lol

 

[Adarsh]

Terrible runout. This is just stupid. Just when they start stringing a few runs together a wicket falls.

 

[relentless_rock]

Run out on a no-ball!

 

[Params7]

I'll be surprised if we get to 200 now. Hopefully one of the bowlers gives Dhoni some support to pile up some runs.

 

[sohum]

This is certainly amusing. Couldn't help that India were put in to bat in probably overcast conditions (I'm not watching the game) what with all the rain around... not like the South African bowling needed any help.

Never heard of this Unadkat cat. Hope he can replicate Zaheer and make Graeme Smith his bunny. Not being too optimistic, though.

Actually think our bowling will do okay. Obviously not like 120 all out, which is what India is looking at, but maybe keeping the lead below 150-200.

 

[Meet]

All over now.
110 all out is what we gonna achieve
phew

 

[sohum]

I almost feel India should sacrifice their remaining wickets so they can bowl at the Saffers tonight.

 

[angryangy]

They might as well. There's no point just hanging around if it's going to be a better pitch tomorrow. They'll still have an awful score. They should continue in the mindset of Harbhajan; if they are all out, then they can bowl; if not, then they have a stack more runs.

Yep, time for Dhoni to open his arms out if he hasn't actually forgotten how to slog.

And on cue he hits a six.

Of course, with our luck, as soon as we are all out the umpires will probably decide to call off play.

 

[relentless_rock]

Cricinfo - SIX, Dhoni does a Harbhajan, lifts Tsotsobe cleanly over long on for a six, it was in the slot around off stump, and MSD went for the shot, got it off the middle of the bat
aww.. the form that Bhaji is going through, too bad to lose him the way we did.

 

[sohum]

It feels like Tsotsobe is bowling purely out of mercy. Smith could probably have brought Steyn/Kallis to finish the job off a while back.

 

[deepuparayil]

Phew survived the 1st day...
