*Official* India in South Africa

[nexxus]

Actually to be honest, if SA lose the series because of some dodge decision from an umpire, they will have nobody to blame but themselves, not having UDRS was Cricket SA's decision, and it was purely because they didn't want to upset the BCCI. It may not have cost them the last test, but it certainly would have put them squarely in the game.

If India were touring England or Aus, there most definitely would have been reviews, as I assume those respective boards would have politely asked the BCCI to take their request, rotate it to an optimal angle and insert it up a particularly sensitive body opening.

Cricket SA know who lines their pockets & are quite happy to bend over as often as the BCCI wants these days.

Any updates on Sachin's average in SA? Must be over 45 by now, I guess...Has it crossed 50 yet?

47.37 at the moment with him being not out.

This is awesome. Again, loving the ticker India are showing for the fight. Any other tour, they would have been bowled out long before now. Obviously, the luck with the bails not being disturbed/edges not carrying etc. helps, but still you have to make the most of those breaks.

Those sixes by Bhajji. Sachin.

Keep it going for another hour or so, please..

 

[Cevno]

42.92, will go down when he gets out too.

That's his average versus SA ,not in SA.

 

[silentstriker]

I counted yesterday. During the whole day's play, the 'South Africa is Waiting' commerical was played 59 times.


59.


Three of those times, it was played back to back without any other commercial in between. Three times it was played back to back to back. Another 15 times, it was played more than once during the same commercial break.

What dodgy decision?

Boucher didn't catch the ball.

And the ball hit the stumps vs. Bhajji!

Umpires have been brilliant.

I'm pretty sure he was talking hypothetically.

Yep.

 

[Jono]

Have this feeling once this partnership is broken, we'll collapse though.

Still don't reckon we'll get a lead, which is probably what we need to have a chance.

 

[Teja.]

How awesome of a position would we have been in if lesser bowlers and that dickhead Dhoni restricted SA to below 300 after Teh Sreez0r took out the top-order?

 

[Furball]

So 199* or 249 gives him a career average of 50 in South Africa

 

[nexxus]

Ja, hypothetical. Umping's been okay, as a Saffer, I'd have preferred one or 2 of the really tight ones to have gone the other way, but can't argue too much so far.

UDRS isn't going to affect the tight calls though. Just the howlers.

 

[Jono]

Field is so spread.

Will take a good ball or brain explosion to get a wicket.







Hence expecting a wicket next over

 

[kingpin]

steyn operating in high 120's?WTF?

 

[Shri]

steyn operating in high 120's?WTF?

Some niggle perhaps?

 

[Cevno]

They are expecting a brain explosion from Bhajji.

As long as he does not do that ,he can carry on comfortably here.

 

[M0rphin3]

Harris you ****. And smith what the ****?

 

[Furball]

The last hour or so from Smith has been really dire.
