India at Chennai and RSA at Perth both began their chase on the 4 th day itself.
England won't have that luxury and as such are running out of time here to force the result they need.

Wow no gift wicket for Panesar yet, no doubt I'll wake up tomorrow and see he's got a 5-fer from players caught at long-off and long-on.
How one man can turn a series win into a comprehensive series defeat.

Haha, he really said that, well but hasn't KP actually been dismissed by Yuvraj a few times on this tour.

No, it was Harmison who did that by gifting Sehwag the dream start.

just a correction
that was not the exact word he said..because yuvraj actually replaced khan.. and it was ishant who was bowling at the other end

That's been horribly overplayed. A shot didn't come out of the middle of the bat for someone very early in his innings and suddenly it was "so close to being a masterstroke from Dhoni!"

no the first ball he hit on to this leg
second ball tried to charge miss hit went to yuvi
third ball tried to blast went straight to sehwag
fourth ball hit one bounce to laxman again trying to hit four
fifth ball left alone
sixth ball tried to hit for four ...went in the air near laxman any other fielder would have tried to have a go
Not one miss hit i saw that live and kp was irritated was clearly evident form his reactions

But Zaheer>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Yuvraj. The ball was new. He'd just picked up a wicket in his first over.
Also, KP isn't someone you actually want to entice to play shots. He's the worst player to sledge since Brian Lara. Bringing him out of his shell is suicidal, he's at his worst when he's playing defensively- see the first test for details. In fact, see the 130~ he scored yesterday for details.

even with out yuvi coming he would have scored 140...but i would give full marks for dhoni for trying..and atleast for one over he did get it kp's head

What if England were set say 350 in 70 overs - 5 an over. Send in Freddy to open with Strauss and hit the new ball about a bit. [Leave Cook to prop up if we get in trouble] . This would show intent and put Dhoni on the back foot for the first time in the series. Pietersen bats number 3. We could find we are something like 200 - 3 after say 45 overs. That would leave us 150 in 25 overs which would be a piece if cake in a 20-20 game. Shouldn't we be starting to play Test cricket like this. Then maybe the crowds would flock back. What will probably happen is that we will be propping and pushing at the spinners all day long and end, at best, being about 170-5 by the end of the day that's if we don't get bowled out. I wonder of Dhoni has got the courage to declare with a 350 run lead or even first thing in the morning and back his bowlers.
