South African Tour of India 2010

[SaiSrini]

AH FINALLY!!!! We got Kallis.... Didnt let him get that double hundred. And it was Bhajji in the end (I decided to put my support on one bowler even though I havent liked his recent performances)

 

[Chetan0304]

Yikes double drop! The Indians are really feeling the pressure out there....come on Amla knuckle down and make them earn their wickets!

Bhajji just earned one.

 

[Valaskjalf]

Kallis you knob...i swear he will NEVER get a double this was probably his best chance ever. Oh well hopefully we can push up the runrate now because I was falling asleep...

Go AB!!

 

[SaiSrini]

OH!! De Villiers almost run out there (again by Vijay). Vijay needs some luck with the direct hits. The boy is quite alert at the close-in position. He almost had Kallis out cheaply yesterday and today DeVilliers escapes.

 

[mdoggie]

once again Kallis misses out. Oh well he was starting to get tied down and we need to get runs quicker if we have any hope of trying to get 20 wickets.

you can still have Duminy at 5/6 right under Prince

They can open with Amla who is better opener then Prince. But then he is doing well at 3 too. Or just drop Duminy, who became a flop after getting IPL $$ shoved up his a$$, and have Prince.

Its ok to not have Harries v India, how much is he gonna trouble the batting Gods.

Mckenzie probably not the best opening bat on the domestic scene, Dean Elgar got something like 6 tons in the series and he's only 22 or around that age.
The great India batting Gods are not troubled by anyone.

Kallis struggles after passing 100. That is why he can never be considered to be a great batsmen.

Thats a bit of a foolish thing to say about someone with 35 test match hundreds, don`t you think?

 

[Robelinda]

Tum Tum, you tool!

I dont care much for Kallis, he is a great bat though, but his inability to get BIG hundreds at number 4 does rank him lower though IMO. Clarke is the same. Punter, Sachin, Dravid, Kumar, Sehwag- they get massive 200's when they get in. By the time Kallis usually gets to 150 its tea on day 2 anyway, he's just too slow most of the time.

 

[TumTum]

It is just my opinion.

If someone talks about naming the great batsmen of all time, Kallis wouldn't really be in my Top 20 or 30.

Whoa this is too much mate.

South Africa 379/3 (123.0 ov)

Now We have to get them within 475.

 

[MaD]

Definitely looking at a draw unless India fails, which is very possible, SAF bowlers can step it up

 

[blazerix]

LOL. Did anyone else see Harbhajan mimic Afridi?

 

[aditya123]

Rather have a pitch which makes it difficult for batsmen and make them prove their quality by surviving difficult conditions with something for the quicks.

I`d dare say that it would be better for the Indians as well.
At the moment these pitches are doing our bowlers` confidence no good. We are`nt exactly playing to our strength either. The pitches we are playing on these days offer us no home advantage whatsoever. It was the same when we beat Australia 2-0 and England 1-0 in 2008 which is whu I rate those wins highly. In neither of the 2 series were the pitches rank subcontinental turners.

The curators have got too defensive and are dishing up pitches whicha re neither heping our spinners or our seamers who can be quite potent when given the conditions. I`d rather see those traditional Indian pitches than these borefests.
