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

[Meet]

We need to get at least a total of 200 in this innings and give them a total of 275 to chase at least.Than there's some chance for us to give them a tough fight.But if we get out on a nominal score of around 150, than SA have every chance to win this.Hoping to see a half century from both of these.

There is no way India can win this with the pathetic bowling attack we have.

lol
Who got them all out on 131?
Our pathetic bowlers
They can do it
I don't think this pitch is a high scoring one, and you already saw how SA batsman struggled to score in their 1st inning. Moreover, its always difficult to chase in 4th innings, and if get ahead of 200 mark, we have every chance to win it.After all we are No.1.

Pitch is perfectly fine for batting. The Indian batting does not have the ability to cope up with seaming conditions. The South Africans, on the other hand got bowled out because they got bored of dominating the Indian bowlers.

Whom would you pick for the 3rd test match- Raina or Pujara?

Pujara. All day, every day. I don't want raina ever to play test matches for India again. You can't frigging pick players based on T20, and odi performances.

 

[Gaurav_7]

We need to give Pujara consistent chances and assure him he's going to keep his place for sometime. He can be a very very good player for India in future.

 

[aditya123]

Pujara over Raina anyday. Raina is just a refined version of a T20 slogger.

 

[Aditya]

Pujara has got the potential, he just needs to be given some chances. Raina is good for t20's and odi's but not for test matches in my opinion.

Just realized that our batting line-up currently has no left-handers. That's pretty crazy and probably doesn't help in unsettling the bowlers.

Watching a few overs now--first live action I'm catching of this series. Man, Dale Steyn is awesome. Looks like he can shape it both ways and honestly looks like he can get a wicket every ball if he pitches it up.

The pitch seems to be settling down. Dhonster and Laxman need to keep eking runs out.

Dhonster

India are doing well so far and they need to ensure to keep it doing.Laxman is always a man to watch in 2nd Innings.Hope these both continues for at least next 50 runs.

Don`t know if its the pitch settling down or if its a combined effect of a tired SA attack (been bowling since Day1 with just a couple of hours break in between) and an old ball to go with it.

 

[Meet]

Thats what we didn't want, and thats what have happened.Dhoni goes.Now only hope we can have is Bhajji and Laxman to do the same what they did it in Motera.

 

[King Cricket]

████, there goes our last hope.

Now I predict the Indian innings folding under 200, unless Harbhajan conjures up something miraculous that is.

 

[aditya123]

If we bat this session out for maybe the loss of one more wicket, we could still have a 250 run lead and whatever we manage to get from there on would be a bonus but even 250 seems a long way away at this stage.
