*Official* India in South Africa

Whatever it takes!!!
it was a freak wicket though.

india still had fairly good conditions in the second morning -no need to harp on about khan being there?

plus kallis is a great solid player, not unreasonable to speculate about him steadying the ship.......
Let him steady his backing up first.. :laugh:

impressed with Pujara but he does not look as good as Dravid looked when he first came on the scene still back him to have a 45+ avg career.

Yeah, Cevno, HB/Shri are in a better position to confirm, but AFAIK, January is the best time - its nice and cool, little to no rain, Pongal time, and further away than Feb/Mar from the Board examinations for the kids.
Mid Jan would be an awesome time to have test cricket at the Chepauk.. With the new stands, I am damn sure there will be a bit of swing (a lot in fact) with the sea breeze coming through.. And the soil is such that we get good bounce at all times.. Would make for fun cricket here.. :)

I hadn't even realized the match had started. Huge blow and it will be really difficult for India to get a good total from here. We have to hope for another collapse from SA and realistically that isn't likely. It will be the perfect occasion for Sree to bowl that once-in-two years spell he is capable of .

Wanted to really see more of Pujara today.

So really dissapointed he got out so early.

Crucial pair this for India.

Extra bounce + Inexperience, not quite easy to distinguish between that ball and the good length ball tbf.
And to be fair ,seeing the replay on Hawkeye the third ball of the same over bounced a lot lower from a slightly fuller length.

Nothing to do with luck mate. You get a snorter of a delivery sooner or later. Just have to make most of the time you get before the inevitable happens.
