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

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

It was very tough chance, reflex catch. Would have been great though for India if they had got kallis out for 0. But hope the overnight rain makes the condition great for our bowlers.


Our bowlers must show patience. Even after 60+ for 0 they managed to bring them to 82/3. Harbhajan must come really good if India are to win this.

India have a great chance to level the series here. I don't know if they will ever have a better opportunity than this. Their bowlers must show aggression in order to beat the hosts.

WAAAWWWW!!! What a delivery was that from Sreesanth!! BRUTAL BRUTAL!! Superb stuff from Sreesanth, the big fish Kallis is GONE!!!! That was an unplayable delivery. Shows that there is still enough assistance on this wicket for India to win this match. Kallis of all players was just stunned by that delivery

Sreesanth has bowled very very well this innings. Well done boy, very well done!

Attack Attack Attack!!!

 

[King Cricket]

What an excellent delivery to get rid of the danger man!

Now pick up De Villers, boys, and the match will be ours.

Some reverse beginning to happen here. Time to get the Sultan of Reverse back into the attack here.

Sreesanth has really bowled well but we are still giving easy singles and we should block those. Let them go for attack. Obviously Ashwel Prince is under pressure to perform as Duminy is waiting out in the bench.

He will be out cheaply but AB De Villers is the man we need to get

 

[relentless_rock]

^^Yes, time to bring Zak into attack. i would have Bhajji plugging the other end throughout and pacers being rotated.

Boucher is another man apart frm DeVilliers who can be a thorn in our flesh. He relishes such situation and can change momentum quickly.

 

[sami ullah khan]

Finally some aggression shown by Sreesanth and the results are there for everyone to see.

Zak is back, Get Prince on strike

----------

Thats the final nail in the coffin!!

3 Things that made India almost there to win this test match

--> Over Post Match Speech by Smith which was tooo intimidating.
--> Zak back increasing other bowlers confidence.
--> Laxman the IInd inning man

I think that's been the only poor decision in this series so far. The umpires have been very good so far but that was quite a mistake; was going over by quite a bit.

I'll take it though. We've got the two big wickets we needed and victory is all but ours now.

Did you miss the absolute plumb lbw vs zak yesterday??

BCCI refusal of the review system certainly paying of in this game.

 

[SaiSrini]

Thats a MASSIVE MASSIVE wicket... The two big guys are now gone, and the pitch is giving moments of panic to the batsmen with his inconsistent bounce.

That wicket was lucky because the ball was going way too high.

 

[relentless_rock]

That was indeed very unlucky for DeVilliers. On my first sight, the only suspicion I had was if it hit his gloves first and pad later. Not quite certain height would have been the reason for DeVilliers disappointment. He thought that was bat first, which certainly wasn't the case.

About Zak's decision, we never got the snicko. I still suspect there could have been back side of bat kissing the ball, alongside the obvious thump of bat on the ground.

And Boucher gone now!! South Africa 143//6!!
