Lunch Interval

Mark-welcome back to this lunch interval joining me for the interval are ravi shatri and tony grieg

well tony india have put up a good total here and at one stage it looked like they were not gonna get anything over 250


Tony- india have put up an excellent total here and they were really under pressure at one stage when they were 83-4. they have done excellent to reach the score at 300+ with the last 6 wickets. great innigs also from sourav ganguly

Mark- so ravi india in good postion can their bowlers no help them to win their first match of the series.

Ravi- yes if think if the indian bowlers bowl a tight line they can win this but south africa have just 343 against windies so its going to touch and go

Mark- well soura ganguly played really well after he was underimmese pressure

Ravi- yes he was determined to play well after their 1st match performance against south africa

Mark- so tony who will win this

Tony- close call at this moment in time i cannot say

Mark- ok so join us after the break for the south african reply

yes india are fav
 
Exactly if they dont lose their wickets they can make a decent score,as their runrate so far is excellent.
 
Update from Newlands: South Africa lose 2 more wickets

Barry- well kallis and rudoplh are taking the games to the bolwers kallis is hitting some fine shots

Alan- Yes Kallis looks to be in form

Here are the highlights

kallis hits his 1st 4



Kallis plays pathan beautifully


Kallis hits pathan for a 6


kallis picks out zaheers slower ball


Rudoplh Dispatches zaheers full toss for 4

He has been runout really bad call from kallis but even a bader call from the umpire as replays show rudoplhs bat was clearly grounded when the ball hit the stumps. Umpiring error he should confirmed the runout with the 3rd umpire

Alan- yes bad umpiring

Princes edges 1st ball for 4


Prince Out

Barry- another wicket for the indians. prince has been bowled by zaheer khan. he showed the bowler the stumps and zhaeer aimed at his leg stump and disturbed the wickets. india on top

Alan- india very much on top south africa are crumbling


South Africa 65/4 After 10 Overs
Kallis* 33
RunRate 6.50

India were 50/3
 
Take it easy my friend. You dont have to score at 7 runs per over from the word go!. As you can see wickets are important. I suggest you dont do anything foolish in the next 15 overs and score about 80-90 without losing a wicket.
 
India surely on course for a comprehensive win!!! They should now not give away too much runs to the South Africans
