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

[Adarsh]

Wow ! Sreesanth !!! This is exactly what India needed. Big big wicket of Amla. One more out of Kallis/De Villiers and India will be right through !

 

[used2bcool]

Now we're in business!

Big, big partnership right here. You think Sree can bowl another one of those unplayable miracle balls? Like the one that got AB in the first innings?

Did the Willow TV stream just stop for anyone else? Can't get it back up for some reason. I have other sources but the quality is not as good.

Sree looks in really good rythm, getting close upto 140k and getting it to swing both ways. Hope we get 1 of these 2 before end of the day , its getting pretty dark though.

Yes, same for me. But it is working for me on my iTouch right now

Pujara dropped a tough chance off Kallis at short leg. Hope it doesnt hurt us much.

Come on now, that was so hard it wasn't even a half chance. It's purely luck if those stick.

Sachin is gonna get trashed, watch out for the long hops. I don't think this is a good move. Can't blame Pujara for that catch, it was very very hard.

4 long hops, 1 sharp shortish ball, and one on the toes.


Bad Light Stopped Play. RSA were just scared of facing Sachin tbh

Tendulkar to Kallis, no run, 50.1 mph, another one fullish, Kallis drives it back to Sachin who fields and gives Kallis a glare. Whoa!

He intimidated them.

Pretty even match, at the moment, some quality Test cricket being played out there! Personally, I think tomorrow's morning session is going to decide it. There was supposedly 60% chance of rain tomorrow (although I think that number has gone down) which will hopefully mean a cloud cover and some swing for the bowlers.

If we can pry out Kallis and one of AB/Ashwell in the morning session, we'll be in the driver's seat. If the Saffers keep all their wickets tomorrow, it's their match to lose with the ball getting softer.

I don't feel good about this. Need more wickets.

Haha what

We just need one of AB and Kallis to ensure victory imo, assuming that they do not put on 100+ runs before this wicket falls. Prince and Boucher wouldn't inspire confidence in even the most optimistic of South Africans.

 

[sohum]

Supposedly heavy rain overnight. Hopefully the pitch will be damp with a lot of moisture, making run-scoring difficult.

 

[King Cricket]

Just two good deliveries from any of our bowlers, and the match will be turned right on its head. In a pitch that has coughed up 33 wickets in a matter of 3 days, that's hardly asking for much from the likes of Zak or Bhajji. What a fantastic game of cricket this is! Even if we lose, it will remain etched in my memory for a long time because of the sheer thrillingness with which the scales are tilting in favour of one or the other each second.

 

[SaiSrini]

Pick out one of Kallis and DeVilliers and we should surge a lot further. Hope the overnight rain helps us. We need this win a lot more than SA
