I agree, they should have tried him out for a bit. Just wondering, what are your predictions on the outcome of this match with India having this lead?
Maybe the skipper didn't want him but the selectors did so he's sending them a message. I recall him saying when they were here last summer that Tahir is hard to set a field to.

Well either we win or India win, imo. Don't see the draw happening.

Obviously India huge favourites, and I'd back them. But I'm holding onto the slim hope that we once again can do the impossible. Think 438, think 414.

But bugger it, we won't :p

If he's trying to send a message, he should get sacked. You don't "send a message" ahead of being a good captain. That's disrespectful to every SA fan.

Except Tahir has done nothing accept leak runs, drop catches and sap morale.

Oh ffs. Really.

He's been horrible but Duminy didn't have much better stats in the first innings, and beginning of the second. I'm not saying he should have bowled 12 flat but give him a go at least.

Dhoni gone now anyway. Declaration irrelevant really, wickets tumbling.

Target to be around 430 or so. very difficult.
