i think this will be another draw unless SA bowl well and get WI below 200 lead. I'm disappointed with the way SA is playing though..so slow.

 

[DeLonge182]

tough pitch tho

 

[sarwan]

i have to say ,the present sa and nz teams r worst teams to grace a test field(entertainmentwise)

 

[The Champ]

After Cronje exit SA have become weaker

 

[shahid6995]

Odds heavily in favor of SA now. Pity Chanderpaul got that rough decision. Lara should have known better than to play that stupid shot.

I hadn't seen the Gayle lbw decision before... shocking! Good fightback by WI but still only looks like SA who might have a chance to win. A 4th innings target of 150+ might be tricky if WI bowlers keep their wits about them on the 5th day.

 

[sarwan]

why lara why??a 50 would have been enuff.now sars 150 sure.drawn match.

 

[shahid6995]

Draw already? I think its firmly in SA's hands if they can blow the rest of them away in the morning early enough. Too early to call either way.

It's going to a great finish. If WI can get a lead of over 200 then SA will not go for a win and the match will end in a draw.

It was a poor shot by Lara but I can understand what he was trying to do. Thats the way he plays. He knew it was a risky shot and after seeing how Boje was getting a lot of spin he was probably trying to hit him off his line and force Smith to change the bowler. I read an article recently on how Lara, although knowing how risky a shot is, will go for it to try to disrupt the bowler to allow him to get on top. Unfortuantely for him today, it didn't work.

Sarwan has done a good job though. They need to bat about 30 overs and get a lead of 200 to save the match. I don't think SA will be willing to chase anything more.

 

[sarwan]

yes jd,but feel bravo has to the dirty job.play marc richardson kinda innings.there is no venom in wi bowling.washington will b back for nxt match.probably.

 

[The Champ]

Any target on fifth day is tough see what happened at Banglore, collapse of much praised batting line up that too in a session

 

[gold639]

I'm disappointed that Lara failed in this innings

I predict an SA win.
