***Official*** India in South Africa

[silentstriker]

Opening with Steyn makes sense in terms of the future, but not when you're going into the final test all tied up. India have managed to own themselves against the new ball anyways, so it hasn't exactly hurt SA in this series.

Its always good to look to the future, but when someone is clearly your best bowler and he's been the one thats clearly been doing the most against the opposition, there is no reason not to open with him.

Fair point that it hasn't hurt them as much, but IMO with Pollock they could have had even bigger rewards. 30-40 less runs per innings in the first match is a big thing.

SRT becomes the leading away scorer, overtaking Brian Lara.

LOL @ the idiots commentating.

"Ganguly looking indifferent". And yet he has 42 off 50 balls.

The umpire in this series has been horrible. Actually it went past horrible. So any kind of decision could be given.

Haha, I thought you were implying that Sehwag is such a dolt he'd still play at balls he's not supposed to.

 

[silentstriker]

Sehwag has got a start now, needs to get at least a 50.

Idiots is correct.

 

[silentstriker]

8 runs off Pollock over, thats rare.

 

[silentstriker]

Idiots is correct.

I disagree. He had looked tentative early on, but indifferent? No. He is scoring at an excellent rate, picking up singles and doubles as well the the boundaries.

Dude, I just agreed with you that they are idiots.

 

[silentstriker]

Very nice six!

Oh, I thought you meant the idiot is right.

And I thought maybe he was confused about the laws of lbw again

Nah, I don't usually have grammar slip-ups.

Sensitive issue for him. Don't go there.

 

[silentstriker]

That was a premeditated forward block/shot by Ganguly. I don't know if its a good idea to have too many premeditated shots against Pollock .

Yes. But, unlike Pickup, I used a smiley. I think I'm safe.

I hate you, ****ing idiot. I like this smiley business.

Quality 6 from Sehwag there.
