*Official* India in South Africa

What is this post about?

Poor decisions, sarcastically?
Quality fast bowlers steaming in on lively wickets?
A tailender hanging in there for an established batsman against bowling way too good for him?

That post left way too much to the imagination.

Quality fast bowling. A great cricket pitch. People getting bounced. Every run is hard and every ball matters.

Beautiful, even if India lose.

Tbh I think winning the toss exhausted their quota for luck.

Shows that luck does even out eventually i guess.

Completely agree!

Day one was better for batting than day two. Dhoni's poor tossing was a stroke of luck perversely enough. It's time the ICC stood up to India and insisted that the technology is used in every test. It's proven to be successful in the Ashes and removed all bar one howler - the Hussey LBW in Brisbane.

Bowling was much better on day two from both sides. The pitch was definitely not better.

I hope laxman doesn't get a 100.
Bring back morkel- he was troubling him.

And plenty of guts and application, let's not forget (in all the omg-so-lucky talk).

How good is Laxman? Just when India look gone, he fights back. WAG.

Zaheer's been so lucky. At least 15 play and misses. It's getting very frustrating now.

 

[biased indian]

is Harris getting any purchase out of the Pitch ?

 

[Turbinator]

STFU Harris

Oh how I love India so much

Agree, as an Aussie fan, he's always looked India's best batsman when the going is tough.

india wins- "omg they got sooo lucky!!"
SA wins- "clearly SA is the real no 1, no one respects india!"

+1
It's annoying how the Indian team is still adamant, despite getting somewhat unlucky with umpiring decisions in their last series

 

[ankitj]

Look at Laxman's strike rate - 61.xx

Steyn's been expensive.

At least the battle for one and two will go down to the wire in Cape town. SA certainly hampered by not having a spinner. Pity the SA people don't support this series, unlike the Aussies in a losing Ashes cause. The crowds have been amazing.

DWTA. India will set SA 300+ to chase and SA will romp home to a 2-0 series lead.

Laxman have a chat with Zak and he smashes 2 fours of the next balls, surely laxman didnt ask for that

Agreed. Their batting lineup is too good to collapse twice in a match.
