*Official* India in South Africa

[Teja.]

With Steyn in SA, You always feel like a collapse is just a wicket away.

I'm absolutely terrified at 100/2 tbh.

I don't understand why Harris is in the team, he seems so useless.

Hey guys, earlier in the day they were showing people in the crowd with a SA flag. I wasn't watching but heard the commentator (Mike Hayesman I think) say "oh dear, that's not what you're meant to do with the South African flag" (or something similar).

What were they doing?

Kepler Wessels has always been blunt and straight to the point. SA's Chappelli

Haha yeah, just the way he said it really made me laugh. Even Chappelli would've said something like "Harris isn't really turning it and that could be a problem for South Africa would Kallis unable to bowl." The way he specifically stated that he hadn't turned one ball was just lolz.

He was wearing the SA flag in nut hugger form

See Jono, my last two posts haven't jinxed Sachin. There's no such thing as jinxing.

Calling this post to be the jinx.

Haha I love you Turb.

I do think we're dead in the water here though. Pitch is breaking up, and Dravid's runout was so so costly. 4th innings runs are going to be so difficult.

Hopefully Sachin is more cautious against Steyn because he goes for way too much vs. Lopsy.

 

[Teja.]

Like any logical man, I do not believe in jinxage.

Like any emotional man, I'm terrified of it in the short run.

Steyn vs. Sachin is the best contest in cricket IMO.

Steyn vs. Sehwag is fun, but this is better.

Yeah, The latter is usually absolute ownage by Sehwag in India and Steyn in SA.

 

[Turbinator]

I think we're doing pretty well right now. These two have steadied the ship.

SA paying $2.82 right now.

Value?

 

[Cevno]

Man if I was SA I'd tell Harris to continuously pitch it wide outside off to Gambhir, where those footmarks are, and give plenty of protection on the offside. Set a massively offside skewed field, and just attack and attack. Eventually it'll hit the footmark and get him.

Won't Work.

Gambhir is too good against spin for that,

He will just give him the charge get to the pitch of the ball and keep clipping him to the leg side for free runs.

Bit like Warne bowling round the wicket to Laxman in that 281 and that was a way bigger rough.

Lol. Camera cut away quickly yeah?

No, unfortunately it lingered.

Gambhir getting sledged hard by SA here.

Gambhir asking the umpire to intervene, and Ian Gould says "I'm not a policeman"

itstl

Wait, this reminds me, didn't you lose quite a bit last match?

Nah I hedged my bet when Smith and Petersen were cruising at the start of the 4th innings.

Kallis is on another level tbph
