*Official* India in South Africa

[chicane]

Firdose Moonda, our South Africa correspondent, from Centurion: "rain is glistening on the lights, coming down in sheets."

Why now?! Wait till tomorrow damn it!

Tendy rocks.....why do I get the feeling that once again a superb knock of his will be in a losing cause....

South Africa deserve to win, but i'd perfer a draw so that this series remains alive.
1-0 to southafrica over here would pretty much rule out a series win for india IMO.

with India's bowling attack, yes, a series win looks highly unlikely but the batting is good and Tendy is looking good.

Because most of them do. No pressure?

 

[taipan1]

positive for India is their batsman are now totally in tune with the SA conditions and next 2 games will see much more even fights.

Really? Isn't the next test in Durban?

Yeah the double hundred nevertheless Kallis' was just like any of his other forgotten bore efforts.

 

[MW1304]

Sachin WAC.

Go home that innings was quality. Is 201 with a SR of 75 with 15 4s and 5 6s not enough for you, you T20 bumhole?

 

[popepouri]

The posts about wanting rain is kinda annoying. Enjoy the test cricket.

yeah, one day Wisden might revise their best hundred list and SRT might creep in.

Against a popgun attack? Where were you when Sehwag bashed the same bowlers for a 300 in a day?

The same Wisden which rated him as the best ever since Bradman in 2002?

fair enough. just give us a list of his match winning/match saving innings.

Wasn't that a draw on a highway?

Ask your holy Wisden that question.. they said that, not me!

660 and 450 in 2nd and 3rd innings doesn't say that this pitch is much different either.

The same Wisden that doesn't rate any of his knocks in the top 100. Fair enough.

 

[taipan1]

Except there will be a result in this test.

 

[Bun]

Except there will be a result in this test.

The last time Sachin hit 100 against SA, I guess there was a result too!
