***Official*** India in South Africa 2013/14

At least put the bad balls away, Vijay!!!!!

 

[harsh.ag]

What kind of vodoo is Philander doing with the ball?! Special powers after getting 100th?

 

[Sachin95]

Oh ****kkkk

 

[Cevno]

Philander got his Mojo back.

Pitch has definitely quickened too.

 

[Contra]

Philander is scaring me, and Morkel hasn't even come on yet. Still lots of work to do for India.

 

[MW1304]

Where are the commentators watching from? That clearly dropped short.

 

[OverratedSanity]

People who have seen his whole career, just how good a slip catcher has Kallis been? Since I've been watching I can't remember him dropping too many, if any.

Strangely he's dropped quite a few recently... Remember a dolly against NZ, one against Australia too I think. Overall he's been amazingly safe

 

[Athlai]

Is Philander better than Steyn?

We desperately need the CPL database back to answer these questions.

 

[OverratedSanity]

It annoys me so much whenever Philander outbowls Steyn. I almost have a perverse desire for Steyn to get 8-20 here

 

[JontyPanesar]

I'm not saying Vijay will last as an opener or is anything amazing, but I like the fact that he has respect for the bowling and the conditions. Vijay will get out, but it's less likely to be for an idiotic reason

 

[OverratedSanity]

That Philander over to Pujara was amazeballs. So obvious he's going to rip us to shreds here

 

[OverratedSanity]

We look ok even if Philander does get 7 for practically nothing, though. We have Tahir

 

[Maximas]

I think India have to at least try to apply some pressure on the SA bowlers, not gonna be easy to weather a never-ending storm

 

[Cevno]

Nice shot.

Got to admit Vijay has looked a fair bit better than last time so far.

Waiting for Kallis and Tahir, i guess.

[Arachnodouche]

Can't watch this but it's creepy how Steyn can pump his pace up as and when he wants. Apparently bowling in the mid 140s now.

 

[Contra]

I must admit that despite the Pujara run out in the first innings India has run very well between the wkts, the pressure they put on the SA fielders has resulted in some overthrows, and they might have just take out Morkel as well which would he a massive bonus for them.

 

[Spark]

oh ****

Who needs ankles anyway?
