Ten cricket "analysts" discussing dropping Dravid down the order.

This really is the same as Ponting in every facet re: batting.

Sehwag has **** me this series. He really has.

In 2006 he was just being outclassed and was in a rut anyway. You accept that. If a player is out of touch or not good enough, that's life.

This time he has batted very poorly despite being in good touch. SA have bowled cleverly to him, no doubt, but he's not receiving balls that Sachin received in the first test or Dravid in teh second. He's just throwing it away by swinging crazier than he does when he plays anywhere else.

Agreed. He hasn't really looked too much in "trouble" compared to the kind of conditions he has had to bat under but he throws it away when he does get in which is really annoying. You expect at least 1 big knock from him in a test series. Saving his best for last maybe? :p

Need at least 3 among Gambhir, Tendulkar, Laxman, Pujara and Dhoni to score 70+, with one of them cashing in with a big hundred. A 100 run lead looks unlikely at this point, but not impossible. Come on India.

Even if we match South Africa's total (which will take some getting), we should be okay. Zaheer has Smith's number, Boucher and Prince are walking wickets, Kallis won't score again. That only leaves De Villiers and Alviro Peterson.

I think we will ensure a draw if we match South Africa's total. If we concede a lead we are screwed, though.

Yeah. I have hoped for the longest time for ONE Sehwag ton on this tour. He's only left me believing as before that he can do it, but now hasn't.

True. Sehwag has been very disappointing this series. But I have liked watching Tendulkar this series. He has not made as many big scores as I would like but he has given a solid aura something that exudes confidence. Does a world of wonder for his team.

And poor Dravid. Got run out.

Uh Prince has been alright and you can't just write off Smith so easily. Not to mention you forgot the run-machine

Edit: late reply 8-)

You surely can spot CWers from a distance with their habit of jinxing, can't you?

This is, still, a very crucial match for Pujara. Big scores can make him a serious contender for a Test spot. Big scores and a win can seal his place in the team.
