I don't mind Barry Richards, though I don't think he's anything special, same with Wessels. Donald when talking about fast bowlers is good to listen too, but otherwise he's too parochial, and I used to not mind Robin Jackman but now he sort of bugs me, since he was the one pushing the "SA's day" call the most. Fair enough saying they've dragged themselves back in the match, but its always about SA. And when he tried to suggest that Karthick actually got an inside edge on the ball in which he was out, I just laughed. Barry Richards shut him down though, but still, when there's so clearly no edge, I have no idea how he could claim there was.
Richards is relatively unbiased and at least knows what he's talking about so you can give him some respect. Donald is pretty cool in the box and he usually provides genuine analysis of technique, etc rather than his own subjective take. Jackman is the main idiot in the box who makes a fool of himself with some ridiculously biased statements. Shastri doesn't really negate any of that SA bias, but he has made some good points throughout the series.

Guys you got me wrong. When I said declare at 400, I meant that must be the minimum.
Brilliant. Second time you've made a ridiculous statement and really copped some from all quarters, then come back to say you were being sarcastic or just kidding. Nice try. ;)

Why don't people believe me? :dry:
People don't believe you because your original posts wouldn't seem sarcastic or accidental even if you had included smileys with them. The best of us have gotten shot down before (for example, SS was a stupid troll in his early days) so just take it in your stride and let go. Even if you were really being sarcastic or whatever, no one will believe it so just move on. You haven't permanently lost credibility as a poster or anything like that. Let's focus on cricket now, shall we? :)

Laxman and Tendulkar should look to settle down against the new ball. 350 would be a minimum target for lunch, but we can exceed that if no wickets fall.

Mum's watching TV so I am unable to watch at the moment, seen a couple of deliveries and it looks like Steyn is getting a fair amount of swing.

Laxman departs to a beauty. Steyn getting just enough swing here. Sachin and Dada reunite.

Sounds like an absolute gem from Steyn, he's a good bowler when he get's it right.

Ganguly showing why he's been out of the team - no idea vs short ball and lazy between the wickets

Must piss his batting partners off no end

Typical Laxman. Getting out to a beautiful delivery. Is there any batsman in the world who has gotten out to so many awesome deliveries? Most just throw their wickets away.
