South African Tour of India 2010

Our batting looks like an India A lineup and we are headed for doom in this test.

 

[Amiya]

We are slowly getting out of the match.

We are slowly getting out of the match.

A bit early to say TBH.

Fantastic for SA that these two survived to tea. Kallis with a real chance to surpass his highest score of 189* against Zimbabwe. He'd love to add a double century to his career achievement list.

I just love watching Amla bat, wristy little ninja

Draw looking good here :banana2

 

[Harishan]

Good partnership from Amla and Kallis here, two really classy batsmen. Amla has a pretty good record against us while Kallis has just breezing towards his century. Apart from Bhajji our bowlers have done quite well, the run rate is just over 3 on a flat track and the occasional chances are being created. Hopefully it won't be too long before we find a break through here..

India Out of the Match , They have to play to Draw the match :sarcasm As a SA fan i feel Kallis will have his best 200*

To Kallis, Harbhajan seems to be bowling too straight, offering too many runs on the stumps or even down past leg. However, when you look at Mishra, Kallis has still been able to reach him from well outside off stump and drag him to leg for one, or even clobber him for six. It's really hard to say what you can do; if they bowl wider to him, he won't be obliged to play a shot, but if you present too much temptation on such a cosy little day one pitch, he's just going to take to these spinners like Brett Lee with a bowl of Weet Bix. They have to find a way to shut down his singles through square leg.

Amla on the other hand is quickly onto the back foot for a shot through the offside and much easier to prevent from turning the ball to leg, especially with spin bowling. However, they're still bowling too straight. A chance to flash through the offside could easily be a risk. Amla plays some exquisite strokes, but that can mask their difficulty. Let him attack you and attack him in kind.

It would be nice to see Alma rewarded with a century for all his hard work and mental toughness at the start of innings.

Yeah it happens a lot... he gets out for 89, and we say "oh that's a shame, he deserved a century"...
