***Official*** India in South Africa

Time to replace Zaheer. He was brought in to go for the kill but he hasn't done it in five overs.

 

[Dravid]

Bring in sachin for a couple of overs I say

 

[adharcric]

Kumble has been rather disappointing today. Prince is playing him well.

 

[PhoenixFire]

I'm not sure whether anyone has mentioned it, but





Sreesanth is gun

Adharcric if I remember correctly called him a stud

 

[Dravid]

Run Out!! Yea Baby!!!!!!!!!

 

[adharcric]

Adharcric if I remember correctly called him a stud

Over the last two days, I've called him a gun, a hero, a legend, a chracter and a stud.

 

[adharcric]

Big wicket there, but we need to keep the pressure on. One more wicket before the close of play hopefully.

 

[Turbinator]

Shoot! Missed the runout!

 

[Jono]

That wicket was massive! AB was looking really good. SA just shooting themselves in the foot really. Brilliant fielding from Zaheer though.

 

[Jono]

Amla gone, get rid of him, and get rid of the rest of them bar Kallis, Ntini and Nel

Get rid of Prince too, so I don't have to write this when he ****s up

Prince is the only one in your team, other than Kallis, who has any guts and determination to fight it out. Yeah Boucher can do it too, but the amount of crap Prince gets is ridiculous. He's had a good year.

Couldn't agree more. I've always thought Prince should be a lock in the middle-order because he actually has the temperament to survive in tough situations.

 

[PhoenixFire]

SA have a weak middle order without Prince. Apart from Prince and Kallis, I'd say every one of their players in the current XI is a strokemaker, they give the side stability.

 

[Jono]

Not really, because South Africa should be playing better..

Based on what? Been ordinary with the bat for a while now.

Just absolutely fed up of watching cricketers like Smith, Amla and Prince.. At least you guys bar Jaffer, picked the right team..

Didn't you say Smith was one of the most underrated cricketers around a little while ago?

1) Based on the fact India have never won a test match in South Africa, and I don't see why they should be starting now

2) Yes, I must have been high on crack at the time

You know it was going to happen sooner or later.

1) But the South African team of today is much weaker than the South African team of the 90s. You have an uninventive captain who refuses to fix his obvious weakness that every bowler in int'l cricket knows about, a woeful walking wicket Gibbs opening alongside your captain, Amla at 3 who can't play the moving ball at all and AB at 6 who gives his wicket away like he's still playing under 14s.

On top of that you're facing an Indian bowling attack better than they've ever brought out to SA, and your players and coaching staff went into the test series as ****y as hell. Just read the quotes from Mickey Arthur, and hell even Rudolph who can't even make South Africa's test team was having a crack at Sreesanth, the man who just tore your batting apart.

2) Fair enough.

 

[Jono]

How the hell did Harper miss that edge?

Sreesanth robbed off his 9th wicket of the match. Prince was gone.

 

[Turbinator]

Stupid Umpire!

Prince should've walked! (If it was an Indian player I wouldn't have said the same)

 

[adharcric]

Harper is an idiot. Has to be one of the worst umpiring decisions of the year.

Prince must feel like a cheapass standing his ground after such an obvious edge.
