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

[AkshayS]

yeah, Dhoni won the toss and a good decision since the conditions are overcast.
We should dominate the first session or atleast the first hour.

Bring in Bhajji as soon as possible.

Zak gets his bunny again Good stuff there from zak

Congratulations brothers... 5 fer for Zaheer ths innings

 

[Adarsh]

Oh man. Zaheer's bowling is just beautiful. You love watching him bowl, you can see him planning inswinger/outswinger, setting batsmen up and then BAM killer ball nails the batsman. Just great. He can do whatever he wants with the ball. If he thinks outswinger on a good length, he usually does it. Inswinger pitched up, he does it.

 

[Adarsh]

This delay is soo frustrating. I think India would rather be out there and making good use of these conditions while they can. This is working to SA's advantage at the moment.

 

[shravi]

Covers coming off! Yay!!

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

More rain means more trouble for South Africa. Harbhajan and Ishant now will be a big factor.

If Zak and Sree continue bowling good and Ishant Just SUPPORTING them well

Singh can make the ball turn if there is some help

 

[Adarsh]

See rain and cloud cover does work in India's favour, but if it's too much then South Africa get away with it by not being on the field. If they only play 40 overs or so today , they come back tomorrow in sunny weather, pitch will flatten out and they'd have gotten away with it.

 

[Meet]

I am getting smell of draw.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

True, but I think the 40 overs or so today will be tough. If we can get another 4 wickets in that 40 overs then it will be completely in India's favour

----------

So play begins!! That is what I wanted

----------

lol, Ishant Sharma is ranked 15 in Idea test bowling rating

Thats the reason no one counts that rating

 

[Adarsh]

This is some pretty terrible bowling after this break. Zak just takes too long to warm up. Ishant is bowling a bit of rubbish too.

EDIT: Just as I said it, shin high full toss on leg stump from Ishant. Come on guys ! If Steyn and Morkel were bowling at this time they'd be murdering Sehwag n co. Well he's got a wicket...I'll forgive him.

Give us a green pitch and cloudy conditions every day !

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

and Ishant gets the break through!

Nice wicket there. We need them bowled out again at 131

 

[relentless_rock]

3 half chances from Amla.. hoping we get him quickly!

 

[SciD]

This is waste of conditions and pitch by Ishant and Sree.

Get Bhajji on and stop easy runs.

 

[relentless_rock]

Yes, a bit of wayward bowling. Both batsmen looked very uneasy ealier on, but now getting settled. Zaheer should come back for another 3-4 overs burst.
