Praveen strikes! Bosman GONE!!!

Horrible commentary today by Gavaskar.

"A little bit of a misfield allowing the fielders to come for a single"

When Bosman went for an aerial shot, Gavaskar says "Will the ball carry to the fielder.... And it DOES" and all that you see is Yusuf Pathan (or dont know which fielder) not getting anywhere near the ball.

Gibbs GONE!!! Plan to bring in Jadeja has worked!

If there is not going to be much of the dew then South Africa might find themselves in real trouble.

Not too sure about that. SA still have Kallis, DeVilliers, Peterson, Morkel and Boucher. One good partnership here and they will march really fast. Jadeja bowled well in his first two overs and he needs to continue that work for his spell in this match.

Sreesanth!!!: Idiot fielding! Ha ha, Dhoni giving his mind to Sreesanth "Wahin rahne chaiye tha, aage kyun aaya" (you should have remained behind, you did you come forward to field the ball).

 

[vaibhav mehta]

It would be hard to score against slow bowlers specially when the ball is every now and then gripping and holding onto the surface. Middle overs are key here where Jadeja and Pathan could restrict Africa and build some pressure.

 

[SaiSrini]

No dew at all so far. The ground looks quite dry (one of the cameraman came out, rubbed the ground with his hand and showed his hand to the cameras). Even the fielders have not brought out their towels with them to wipe any dew.

Sreesanth cant even bowl consistently in the 130's. His second over was all of 127-129kph range. No intensity at all.

Bring Sehwag on. Fast bowlers will leak runs in plenty.

Sehwag is not even on the field. Abhishek Nayar is substituting for him. Seems like some back problem while batting.

If we win this one we should all go to temples and offer 11 rupee prasad.

 

[Leggie]

Few more overs of pressure from Jadeja and somebody else with spin should get the RR required near 7 an over. That would be our chance to take wickets...

 

[pcfan123]

Yea from what he looked like while batting, I doubt Sehwag will be bowling this match at least.

Id say India is favored here easily, their not exactly off to a flyer

 

[SaiSrini]

Sreesanth is being smacked here. For all our Indian bowlers, Irfan's bowling now looks a better option. Bring him back and minimise the damage! The guy can atleast score some runs to offset the runs that he gives.

Hope the dew stays out. If it does, we might get really close. Otherwise, we will get smoked. Jadeja is bowling very well. Now Sree has to be removed and Pathan/Raina should be brought in. Dhoni might miss the useful left arm spin of Yuvraj here (in that area, Yuvraj has been decent in recent times)

 

[angryangy]

South Africa are in a pretty good position for the moment. Two or three wickets would be a big problem, but if they just keep going, India will be in trouble.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Jadeja, you beauty! We're back in it now. Remove Kallis and we're just there.

 

[SciD]

Need more of these deliveries.

Jadeja has put up problem for India with his bowling as he is a poor batsman and we cannot play two spinners abroad.
