*Official* South Africa in India

Mishraji is back... another test fifty please..
India like SOuth Africa letting the advantage slip.
They can afford to. The game was won yesterday and the bad light has prevented any further damage being done. Should be easier for the batsman tomorrow morning to negotiate Steyn and even if they collapse, the 100+ run lead will at least account for Smith and maybe a few others.

Can't fault any of the South African bowlers, they shouldn't be bowling.

Oh noes, here come Yuvraj when fit again.:(
I'm really disappointed that Badrinath could not score more runs. One fifty in three innings is not disgracing yourself, but you'd have thought he could have got a couple of twenties and maybe converted the fifty into a century. That being said, the way this game is panning out, it is likely he'll get a go in the second innings.

I went for the game!!!!

Thanks Jono!

I clicked a big order in the morning and then went in with India at 160/2. I saw Sachin's 50 and 100 and Sehwag's 100 and 150. Sehwag is really the best batsman in the world right now. I saw Sachin bat for the last time in a test and he scored a century. I can die in peace now.

I came out of the ground after Tendulkar hit his 100, so didn't see the fall of wickets. Just when you think one team has the upper hand, the other team comes right back in. What a match! I thought Sehwag batted superbly despite the chances while Sahin was a bit shaky playing and missing v Morkel and Parnell a fair few times. The pitch is really good. Good bounce, turn, no real wear and tear and still will produce a result.

Tests at Eden are always so special. Have a big game feel to them. Love it.

Sehwag just makes me laugh
When he tried for the 6 on 95, the whole stadium was laughing.

BTW I had the perfect seats, right behind the pitch near the cameramen opposite the club house. I always aim for seats there and have watched a fair few tests at Eden from there, most notably India-Australia 1998 all four days. Very good seats those. I could say some lbws from even there, it was so clear.

Wish i was watching this on TV.
It's on Setanta FTR. Not sure if you have Foxtel or whatever but if you do you can just go to the Setanta website and get instant access for about $15. You can cancel it next month when the Tests are over if you like.

This is a possibility. I have foxtel and I am stuck at home for a while.

Smith's injured, his side up against it, and it's the second innings. Sounds like a big century to me.

Doubt it'll be enough, I see India getting a lead of at least 200 and chasing down a small total towards the end of the game.

Exactly, it looks like SA hasn't the hunger to win a series in India, their batsmen didn't knuckle down and do the hard work after Petersen and Amla had provided them with an excellent platform.

Where the hell did you disappear to when SA were doing well?

It can't be. Smith has never scored a test 100 and then experienced defeat. Mortgage on bowled Khan for next to nothing.

Pratters, which block is that? I have tickets for the fourth day, but I'm not sure where I'm seated, exactly.
