*Official* India in South Africa

My major concern isn't that we're 6 down. My concern is that I think Morkel and Steyn have bowled exceptionally well. Sure there have been some ****ty dismissals (Sehwag, Gambhir and Raina) but the pitch is merely good for bowling. Not a minefield by any stretch of the imagination. Steyn and Morkel have made it look worse.

300 is probably par. Hopefully we can scrape to 200.

Why the hell don't we open with Harbhajan? Class batsman.

 

[chicane]

Mark my words, they'll be back in teh second innings. One utter failure among six innings was on the cards. Come on.

Yeah I'm still hoping for a good match.

 

[kingpin]

Well actually i am quite liking this.....Our batsman may get the joltz....But they eventually come out Better than before...

 

[NasserFan207]

Harbhajan showing those poncy 'upper order' batsmen how its done yet again.

 

[Checkmate]

Conditions should get better so I'm hoping for something like...

Ind 150
SA 250
Ind 300
and a 200 chase by SA

The advantage of being a tailender rather than a top-order batsman on these kind of wickets against bowling of this quality is that it's usually too good to get the edge... so you can only get out bowled or LBW.

 

[NasserFan207]

Holy **** look at Morkel's figures.

 

[r3alist]

Ball for ball, wicket for wicket. Anyway, we shall find out soon enough.

well delusion is for free so eat your heart out.........

So does the fact that I always get out caught behind just make me a really ****house opening batsman rather than the tailender I really think I am?

Come back after 5 days, maybe I'll have some humble pie leftover for you to eat

India to randomly get to 250-odd and Sree to blow South Africa away ala 2006 Jo'burg

 

[NasserFan207]

Lol, sorry, but there's no way Sharma, Sree and the new kid can match this performance.

Haha I was being facetious. How often have we seen tailenders scrape a few together after the main batsmen have looked all at sea? Just a half-baked explanation of sorts for that.

Jeez the commentary is horrendous.
