International 12th Man
India have been down on pace for ages. Zaheer at 128kph is pretty standard, Sreesanth at 130kph, outside of his one good spell per year is pretty standard and Ishant is perhaps 2kph below his usual 135kph opening burst.



What did I say that was rash?



Ishant has far exceeded my expectations today. However, I guess that just shows how low they are. I hope Ishant and Sreesanth do not continue this bollocks of performing one after the other and being absolutely abhorrent, the next Test - this way, both of them will be in the team for a long time without us having a good bowling line up.
Pay attention kiddo, you said that they should have had 5-6 wickets by now

Loving watching Amla at the moment. Ball swinging all over the place but he's stroking it around with consummate ease. Brilliant stuff.

Don't think you can afford to ball short here,unless you are express quick.
Amla's pull shot doesn't seem to be natural for him and I think he's just faking his aggression with it. If bowlers start actually targeting him there, I assure you he will not look comfortable there.

Pulled for 6 there. Decent ball though.

Amla's rode his luck, and is now looking so dangerous.

You misread his post.

India looking dangerous. I have no idea how much more will be played today, but I'd think we should be trying to get two more wickets before SA reach 100. These conditions are really in India's favour, atm. If Steyn, Morkel and Tsotsobe were bowling, I could see them having us five or six down by this point. The ball is seaming all over the place.

:laugh: You're right about the first bit, but he's still gonna get sixes from it.

Good for Harbhajan to have a chat to Sree there. Bowl like that for a few more overs and he'll get a wicket.
