I feel like Dhoni's decision to bowl was more defensive than anything. Steyn and Morkel could have wreaked havoc in those conditions.

That's a superb record. Who leads the list of dismissing Smith the most number of times in tests?
Sreesanth gets 2 wkts in 2 balls! Superb use of the new ball. Sreesanth when in flow can be a magnificient test bowler. He has already taken 4, with 4 more to go
I dont think Dhoni's decision was defensive. I still think he tried to exploit the overcast conditions and the green-ness of the pitch. I dont see why he would be defensive after having won at Durban comprehensively with his bowlers turning on a star show.

Because our batting has still been suspect against quality seam bowling.
This bowling from Sreesanth is great but hardly good news for our batsmen.

Sreesanth needs to control himself here. He is pumped up OK, but he is crossing the line too often, be it with the no balls or be it with the run ins with the batsmen and the umpires. Hope he does not get docked for anything. Or maybe he thinks that this being the last test of the series, he can go all out at the opposition.
2 more wkts to wrap up things. I think if Sehwag and Gambhir can survive the new ball, there is lot of runs to be had here on this wicket. We need to survive the new ball with minimal damage.

Vengeance and vindiction are probably the driving forces behind Sreesanth's onslaught of today.
All credit to Greame Smith for flaring him up by slamming his demeanor before the match.

This is crap!
India are gifting away too many easy runs to Saffers.How can't they get Tsotsobe whose wicket can be easily achieved?I didn't expected Zak to bowl at that low level.I was quite satisfied in the way they picked up first 4 wickets today, but these is just pathetic.

Excellent stuff from Kallis tho.
Tsotsobe is barely hanging in there. Maybe they could have bowled straighter to him, but with no real express pace in the attack it won't trouble him that much.
Looking at about 350 in the first innings for RSA. Neither here no there, it's a good score, India will be disappointed to let them get there after having them 272/7. On the other hand, RSA would have been aiming for 400ish after being 252/4 overnight.
How India bat will, as always, be crucial. Wicket doesn't have too many demons, but there is swing and some turn. Need to be patient to score here.

Well the Indians won't be too happy after having them at about 280/8, the hard work's been wasted here. Sreesanth was amazing with the new ball, he does look quite good now. He'll be very useful in England later this year. It's more about damage limitation now.
WHY DON'T THEY BOWL A BLOODY YORKER ?!

Not very competitive cricket on display frm India. Bowlers n fielders have certanly got off the boil. And y only go searchin for Tostsobe's wicket, theres Kallis to be had as well.
I'll be quite happy if our opening stand lasts as long as SA l0th wkt partnership
A thing or two to learn for Sachin, how to bat with tail.... and if not save the test match atleast salvage embarassment of innings defeat!

And finally its Kallis who departs.They are finally all out on 362.Finally finally the 10th wicket partnership is broken.
I would like to see Indian batsman would be at least able to put a half century stand.If they does it I don't mind a century stand.

It looks like MRF have took over Gambhir as a sponsor as he is using MRF bat.
