***Official*** South Africa in India

@ Ashwell getting a bowl now. C'mon Viru send this out of the ground.

To be fair he isn't the worst part - timer I've seen. He needs to bowl over the wicket though, Smith's captaincy has been so negative. He isn't the greatest tactician. He should give Steyn and Morkel the new ball. It could get smashed all over the park but you have to take a risk to get wickets.

Really hope Sehwag breaks Lara's record Unlike Lara's record, Sehwag's team actually needs such an abysmal amount of runs. It will be a far more meaningful and non-selfish effort. Not to mention the clip at which he is scoring.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Interesting innings from India, just shows what can happen and yet teams still declare at scores like 550 batting first knowing there will likely be 5 full days of cricket played - it's completely stupid.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

I don't care if he's struggling or not, but there should be no reason for Dravid to strike in the thirties.

Agree. Clearly playing for his 10,000. A strike-rate of 30 is an abomination on this pitch.

Tim, I take it you didn’t lay money on the South Africans in the end?

It would.

Haha, having faced 140 odd deliveries on a flat pitch with Sehwag going nuts, you'd think perhaps Dravid should probably have his eye in by now? Lol

 

[Jono]

Told ya the bookies know their stuff.

I'm assuming Social put his house on South Africa, and hence doesn't have internet access to come on here.

 

[silentstriker]

Haha, Sehwag could score is second triple. Crazy.

 

[Nutter]

If Sehwag reaches 300, will it be the fastest test 300 in history?

 

[silentstriker]

This really puts our bowling efforts into perspective IMO.

No, Bradman did it in a day.

 

[duffer]

Raghav and social must be enjoying this.

I am resigned to the fact that I won't win the money, and I just want to see history being made. Go Viru

That’s alright then for there is some poor bugger out there who phoned up or went online yesterday and bet against Sehwag not scoring. Presumably that’s guys now in the process of taking his life or has already been discovered by his nearest and dearest.

 

[Manee]

No, Bradman did it in a day.

But there were many more overs in a day when Bradman did it - IIRC (I'm not too flash on 1930s cricket tbph). I think that Sehwag's, if he gets it, may very well be the fastest in balls.

 

[biased indian]

No, Bradman did it in a day.

i think he meant No of balls

 

[TT Boy]

When should India be looking at declaring, lunchtime tomorrow?
