Watching Kohli and Pujara last night was the most impressed I've been with two Indian batsmen away from home in a long time. The fact it came from young players against the best fast bowling attack in the world in the most alien conditions possible for Indian batsmen to face, and it's their first tour there, and it looks even better.

just wish that pujara hadn't been run-out

Haha you know I was actually thinking of that the other day when I got an email from Verandah.
Let's sort something out in January, or are you off on holidays for most of it?

Well played Kohli but we're really clutching at straws here. 255/5 is strictly honors even but we're so unused to seeing respectable scores early doors on away tours that this feels like job done. I can see us being blown away tomorrow within the hour and then SA piling on the pain.
Rahane has to be the most ungainly looking Indian batsman in a long time.

It is most definitely not job done, but the average score at Johannesburg in the first innings is not much more than 300. I don't think any team has scored 303 (or some specific number Cullinan mentioned) or more and lost the test in a long long time.
60/40 India's way on paper. Probably 50/50 in reality considering India's bowling line-up.

Completely disagree tbh.
350 wouldn't be too difficult here, and with the possibility of 400, India would be in the box seat.

I thought this guy was me for a second thereI only saw last few overs. How is the pitch? I have feelings if India can get to 350, they will end up winning this match.

The list of of first innings score at the Wanderers. Around 250 seems to be a par score giving you significant chances of winning or losing. As mentioned the highest losing score has been 303. Overall India is in a decent position even giving their bowling attack. They already have a few more runs than in 2006 when they won.

I am going to stick my neck out and say that Rahane is going to be the most useful Indian batsman after Kohli for the next 5 years, and he should be batting at number 5 ahead of Rohit. Today depends almost completely on Ashwin. If he bats well, we will get a nice score. I have high hopes 
If only he could keep, we could have gotten rid of this Dhoni character for overseas tours and had a proper spinner as well
