South Africa in India

[Leggie]

Ok realistically I think they could maybe put on another 30 runs because at the dying moments of the day Shreesanth looked fully determined, and he's no mug with the bat, neither is Sharma. Altough these 2 are No.10 and 11's, they can still build a good partnership to have some sort of a lead.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

I don't think they can put 100 runs partnership.Even Dizzy and Banga can't do it on this type of Pitch.I only want India to bowl same way as they have bowled in 1st innings.
Anything over 220 will be tentative chase so India might try to get them out under 200.

Obviously when a fielding team steps on the field, their aim is to try and bowl them out for the least amount of runs possible.

Once thing is for sure in this match, if we've had almost 20 wickets in 2 days then we're guaranteed at least another ten, In other words there will be a result in this match...

Ya But I am Making criteria around 200.
Anything over 250 will be difficult,300 + will be almost impossible and 350 + will be unchasable.

Ya, even 200 would be hard on the last day with 1 spinner...

Hopefully the criticism heading Ganguly's way will begin to drift away after 2 good innings under pressure in a row. His team have needed runs in his past 2 games and he's provided. I think the criticism he did recieve was incredibly harsh as I thought he was fantastic in England, and I personally like the guy, he's got tremendous talent, and a far better player than Yuvraj will ever be. I have to say though, Yuvraj's 2 fours in 1 Steyn over were magnificent, the clip off the hip for 4 followed by the perfect leg-glance, he's an incredibly stylish batsman.

 

[Leggie]

Incredibly stylish, yes. Ganguly had already hit a 6 in that over, there was no need for Yuvraj to go after Harris as well in that over...

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Well as far as Style is concerned, I think Yuvi is one of the Best among the World. But I don?t think He will be a good test batsman. Mainly He doesn?t have temperament at right time. Same for Dhoni.
If either of them would have stuck with Ganguly then India might not needed to bat again.

 

[Leggie]

Ya, they weren't undone by good bowling Dravid and Laxman were, they simpl played stupid shots in the circumstance.

 

[.Mob]

Again, what in the heck was Dhoni thinking when he charged Harris, a bit harsh I know, but it just wasn't needed, the partnership was going very well.

C'mon Sree, clobber a few out of the ground tomorrow.

 

[Leggie]

Maiden 50 for Shreesanth tomorrow.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

If you would have said that 5 Wickets for Sree then I might even pray for that Sanjay Bhai..lol..
But 50 runs..Though You never know.I think India will finish tomorrow in 1st over..

 

[SaiSrini]

What? Ur kidding me????

I watched Dravid's dismissal. It was a brute of a delivery. Didnt see Laxman's wicket but Dravid's wicket was more due to the wicket.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Ya Sai.He is also saying that Dravid and Laxman have lost their wickets due to either Pitch or by Good Bowling where Dhoni and Yuvi have just gave it away..
You misunderstood..

 

[Cricketman]

Laxman and Dravid batted very well. You need to stop being so critical.

Laxman especially was very good.

I'd open the bowling with Harbajan tomorrow.
