*Official* India in South Africa

[Jono]

Dear God, Sachin on.

wtf

 

[Howe_zat]

Crikey, this is immense stuff from Kallis. India really starting to flag a little here. With India's batting lineup, however, I'd say South Africa will need 300 to be definitely safe.

Quick stat on Boucher - he is 260 career runs out of over 5000 to overtake Gilchrist as the leading run-scorer as keeper. didn't expect that at all.

 

[Jono]

Jono, maybe Dhoni is even more pessimistic than you, doesn't back India to chase 130 and has been captaining for a draw ever since SA crossed that point

Lol, would make sense if he actually tightened the scoring with fields that slowed the run rate. But he has done the opposite.

 

[Gilly Fan]

So he never actually said Sachin was better than Bradman?

Yes he did. Then later on they were looking at stats and the host said something about Bradman. Can't remember exactly.

 

[Spikey]

Harbhajan off; Tendulkar on. Massive moral victory for South Africa, that.
Reckon he'll take one though.

just a two over break... he'll be taking the new ball

Nah, he just wants to make sure India don't take any wickets. Explains the fields, Sharma bowling lots in the last little period, Sachin on...

 

[Stapel]

The game is really SA's to lose now! Big man, King Kallis!

 

[Cevno]

Sehwag would have been really handy here.

And Sachin bowled that over well,but easy singles to him all over.

 

[Cevno]

So near and yet so far.
Incredibly Frustrating.

 

[Prince EWS]

Pollock on commentary talking about how much Kallis loved to bowl when he was captain, and how he got bored just standing at slip waiting for catches.

Interesting; contradicts a lot of bull**** theories we've heard over and over again.

 

[Cevno]

Cmon Phoney Dhoni attack for Tendulkar this over atleast.

 

[Manee]

So near and yet so far.
Incredibly Frustrating.

Indeed, India just couldn't put the knife in. I guess it is one of the consequences of allowing a passenger in the bowling attack.

 

[nexxus]

230 on, still anybody's game. Starting to swing ever so slightly in SA's favour, but not much in it.

 

[Prince EWS]

Harbhajan off; Tendulkar on. Massive moral victory for South Africa, that.
Reckon he'll take one though.

Called it.

Don't know if India will be loving the look of that bounce though.

 

[Cevno]

And Tendulkar strikes.

Why wasn't he brought on early?

 

[The Sean]

Lost all respect for him when he said that there was no doubt Tendulkar was better than Bradman.

This. Died a little bit inside when he said that - at least his fellow pundits told him he was wrong.

 

[Gilly Fan]

**** gets wickets...

 

[deadlee]

Tendulkar strikes!!

just in time for the new ball

 

[Cevno]

Tendulkar bowling better than Kallis here.

 

[Jono]

That is worse news for India than good IMO.

Need to literally clean up the last 3 wickets for less than 20 runs to have a chance.
