*Official* South Africa in India

Bad decision - hit the arm guard. *SIGH*

India have to be the biggest hypocrites. They whinge (rightly so) about umpire decisions unfairly influencing the game. UDRS is introduced, and then they lose in Sri Lanka because UDRS reverses unfair decisions that this time would have gone in their favor. And now UDRS is bad again.

I really hope whatever happens, that the outcome is fair. This leaves such a bad taste in the mouth.

Having a review system in only half the matches is a colossal **** up by the ICC.

Always good to see Zaheer in the wickets, esp in the subcon though.

It's not the ICC. BCCI has just said they won't play with it. What're they going to do?

'It's the BCCI's fault' is valid in this case. See mandates by the ICC are assumed to be so by, you know, people who care about rules and laws.

That was actually a waste of a bad decision for India too, if they'll get a fixed number of those. Prince was looking a bit scratchy against Zaheer, one nick and 2 shouts for lbw in ~ 6 balls.

Well BCCI have a right to say they don't want it, but it shouldn't be their choice. Just like they cant start bowling with golf balls or catching with baseball mitts in the outfield ffs.

Don't give them ideas...

But yea, I completely agree.

South Africa are in a world of trouble here, it's like they've hardly come out of the dressing room, does anyone think the lack of atmosphere in the ground affected the openers? also that kind of bowling from Zaheer is the reason why i'm praying for our young left-arm pacers to come through, a good fast lefty can make a world of difference to a bowling attack.

Can anyone spot where Saha is fielding? Are the debutants manning the slip cordon in the absence of Dravid and Laxman? The TV won't do a closeup.
