*Official* India in South Africa

[Jono]

There must be a better way of setting fields to top-order/tail combinations than this, surely?

You see it so often; it's as if the fielding skipper's in auto-pilot, and I could swear it fails as often as it succeeds.

Fails way more.

 

[Zinzan]

Kallis even when he plays and misses so many times,does very well to not edge them somehow.

pfft, so does pretty much every batsman in the opposition who scores a 100. Always the way

 

[Shri]

Kallis - Wac.

 

[kingkallis]

Starting a Chuck Norris trend with Kallis are you?

Its called Rajnikanth trend in India.

 

[Jono]

Yay keep giving Kallis singles Dhoni you idiot.

Hope someone grills him for this ****.

 

[Manee]

I despair for India, too **** for words, atm.

 

[Burgey]

He's normally safe as houses. Runs the boundary really well. Can't judge on one match.

Nah, start of his decline. Dad's army really. England could beat them any day of the week.

 

[Spark]

Take Bhajji off. Tsotsobe is playing him with ease. It's putting way too much pressure on the other end where Kallis is smashing them.

 

[Cevno]

Nah!!

Was more referring to the fact that he almost pulls away at last time.

 

[Manee]

Fails way more.

Yes, is a stupid plan.

 

[Uppercut]

Isn't that praise of the "Rudolph Hess was the cuddliest Nazi" kind tho?

Monumental effort from the great man this, tho. Might just be his best ever IMHO.

Dunno, there's a pretty epic selection of home knocks against England. Two stand-alone tons last year against a much better attack than this Indian one and a disgusting amount of runs against the 04/05 model.

Suppose the fact that this is a 1st vs 2nd series decider has to come into it though.

5 balls at Tsotsobe from Zak. Thank Christ Dhoni has brought the slips back or I might've done my nut.

Yeah, Lopsy looks to be a bizarroworld Morne Morkel. Seems infinitely better against spin than pace.

 

[chicane]

What a knock. Single big difference between India bowling SA out cheaply and SA ending with a pretty big total in tough conditions.

 

[Daemon]

Give Laxman the ball already

 

[Jono]

Haha commentators cheering on Lopsy the final straw for me. Dying inside now.

 

[biased indian]

this partnership is now 49 ..could make all the difference in the end

 

[Spark]

Haha commentators cheering on Lopsy the final straw for me. Dying inside now.

haha it's like they're the non striker - "well done, well played" - i should shoot myself for that typo

decent shot there too.

 

[Cevno]

Wtf?

This is really frustrating.

It's the way he's played that's been so impressive tho. Has farmed the strike and looked to score. Has nursed a real bunny to a near 50 run partnership and was on 99* when Steyn went. Now well over 150. His best, IMHO.
