South African Tour of India 2010

[Amiya]

I am addicted to see Failraj failing everytime, so it wouldn't matter to me much.

This looks like a real uphill task for India to even draw this game unless we bowl the SAffers out for a low total. Our batting is the weakest it has been in a decade with Dhoni playing as a specialist batsman now. I don`t think of Saha as a great batting prospect, Karthik would have definitely given us more cushion in that respect.

All that SA have to do is to get a score of 350+ and they`d stand a huge chance of winning this. This reminds me of one of those weak batting lineups in 96/97 in SA when people like Vikram Rathore used to find a place in the batting order.

I say this not because I think Badri and Co are not talented but because all of them are untested. This is why it would have been a lot better to have tested them in the Bangladesh series rather than throwing them straight away against the likes of Steyn and Morkel.

The wikcet does not look to have anything in it already ubless there is some reverse swing around in the latter part of the day. Otherwise, I can see us staring at a 500+ total here.

CRAP! Prince gone, Amla and Smith will hopefully get a partnership

 

[SaiSrini]

That was unlucky for Prince. It hit the arm guard on its way to Dhoni. But Zaheer had Prince in all sorts of tangle with those short balls and the LBW shouts. The guy looks forced at the opening slot for me.

I agree there. Even drawing would be good here considering the lineup that we have.

Why the hell is the review system not in place?

Why the hell is the review system not in place?

Because India refused to accept its usage. And the review system has had its enough share of controversies and has caused lot of confusion and heartburn among players, coaches and the like. So not having it is not so bad after all.
