Luck's always a factor in a batsman's innings.The problem is luck becomes an over riding factor.

Granted.... but I`m talking about the feeling I get from the team not the poor batting performance. Kallis, Amla where never verbose, solid stoic yes!.... but you felt with Smith there (regardless of his batting) you where in a fight just by his mere presence.... I am just talking about the feel of the team... might partly be because of uncertainty in some of the young guys etc... who know`s.He also had Kallis, a fit Steyn, and an in form Amla. And Smith himself.
The degree of the luck is far more to tilt balance from skill to luck which is the issue.Luck's always a factor in a batsman's innings.
We can only hope!!!Oh no. Indian posters have started posting like they've already won the match. You guys all know what happens next.
In English please.The degree of the luck is far more to tilt balance from skill to luck which is the issue.
Err. Scottish you mean?In English please.
There is no way SA chasing this here. It will be equivalent to Sun rising in the West...Oh no. Indian posters have started posting like they've already won the match. You guys all know what happens next.
The South African team was full of resolve during the ODIs. It seems to be vanishing some how.Granted.... but I`m talking about the feeling I get from the team not the poor batting performance.

Yeah the fightback had to come from one of Du Plessis, Amla and AB. AB did his best in the first two games, the other are AWOL. It's kind of hard to expect the younger or newer guys to go and fight in conditions they have never faced in their lives.The South African team was full of resolve during the ODIs. It seems to be vanishing some how.

This game is very different to all those 3 games."There's no way SA can get close to 450. It's a fifth day pitch"
"There's no way nz can save this match. They're 90/5 abd still need a billion runs just to make India bat again"
"There's no way SL can win this. They'll need a miracle just to avoid an innings defeat"
So forgive me for not thinking this is done and dusted. It probably is. But I won't say it.
