Relax, people. Obvs SA still have a fair bit of batting left but things can happen mighty quick on Day 5 decks and you have 200 runs to play with.

Not to mention that they would have to break the world record by plenty and up the run rate substantially to win

Quick poll for Indian fans.

How nervous are you out of 10?

6-7/10

 

[Contra]

You guys always complain Dhoni is too defensive...

I don't consider Dhoni to be too defensive, I've not commentated much on Dhoni's captancy tbh.

fantastic knock ab. not even celebrating lol for now its meaningless.

 

[hendrix]

One of those will take the edge sooner or later.

 

[Spark]

Played, AB.

EDIT: Though I'd probably be a bit nervous with the number of pies that've been bowled of late as an Indian fan

 

[Contra]

I hate how Shami bowls short every now and then, he needs to realize that the Amla dismissal was a one off, most instances he's bowled short he's been smashed for 4.

As long as it stays under 5 by tea, anything can happen.

Worst thing now would be for Dhoni to go defensive.

 

[Contra]

alright MS time to but a few guys on the boundary. If we lose this match...

Nervousness levels somewhere between 6 and 9.5 tbf.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

if dhoni slows the overrate down so much to infouence the result. he probably wont play in the second test.

 

[Garson007]

Need these guys in at tea. Please please please.

Would be the worst thing to do. Wait till target is 130 or so

 

[hendrix]

Shane Warne says you gotta be prepared to lose to win

 

[hendrix]

But seriously, the best way to stop them getting to the target is the same as the way to try and win the test - break the freaking partnership.

These guys can easily run 5 singles an over if you put men on the boundary.
