*Official* India in South Africa

[Prince EWS]

Loling at those that said Zaheer wouldn't make much of a difference to this team and their performance compared to the first test.

You were beaten by a better man.

 

[Prince EWS]

Sunny probably at least kept it tighter than Ishant.

Heath Streak and Blessing Mahwire.

 

[Turbinator]

If one more wicket falls, I swear I'll run down the street with my shirt off!

 

[Teja.]

at all those people who were saying Zaheer wouldn't had made a difference after the 620-4 Innings.

Great minds etc.

If Zaheer was English or an NZder he'd average below 25 IMHO.

Or Saffie, tbh...

Zaheer now becomes a very strong contender to open the bowling in my all-time India XI with Kapil Dev.

 

[silentstriker]

Love Zak so much. Champion bowler.

India entirely different proposition with him in the team. Controlling this now.

Much genuflect to county cricket tbh.


****ing BCCI will never learn. Should pay for Indian bowlers to play county cricket (doesn't have to be top level).

Haha I see you got in first

 

[Teja.]

It's because he's a **** ****, IIRC.

You were beaten by a better man.

Great minds etc.

Stand by that. We wouldn't have been 620/4 lolbad obviously, but would have lost nonetheless.

Zaheer reminds me of McGrath at Lords 2005.

Now you're going overboard.

Exactly. Lets see South Africa without Steyn. Granted Steyn is a better bowler but Zaheer is still the lead bowler of the team and losing him ALONG with the nasty toss really D O E S make a difference.

All those fools laughing and making fun of India's ranking. Yes, this test match is far from done but it clearly shows that there are many variables that come to play in test cricket. For a team that has lost almost all of its tosses in recent times, India has been doing remarkably well.

So, a big middle finger to all the haters.

 

[Teja.]

Now you're going overboard.

Nah, I would be if I said it reminded me of Sree murdering SA for 84.

 

[Contra]

Zak's got such an accurate bouncer. Love it.

See NOW would have been the time to bring on Ishant and Sree (if needed). They would have got some decent rhythm going against 2 right handers who aren't as good.

 

[Teja.]

Guys, enough with the taunts, This innings isn't over yet. Don't want the yolk in our faces, do we?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Wow, well done India. Good fightback i didn't expect. Low scoring games are always the most exciting as one mistake could cost so much.

 

[r3alist]

Let's not go overboard with the 'luck' talk here. The Kallis dismissal was luck, but they've earned the other 5 dismissals.

you just admitted there was luck so............

 

[Uppercut]

Lol, was that Daryl Cullinan claiming Dale Steyn "actually played that short ball alright" after he blobbed it up in the air off the shoulder?

 

[Contra]

Rd u rock !!!!!!!! SA DOING DOWN!

 

[silentstriker]

Lol, was that Daryl Cullinan claiming Dale Steyn "actually played that short ball alright" after he blobbed it up in the air off the shoulder?

Haha, I went..."really?" No pretty way to play the short ball?

Not quite Ponting's pull shot.

Rahul Dravid, Harbhajan Singh, take a bow!
