***Official*** India in South Africa

He wasn't given, and stop the whining please. You're acting like no Indian ever made a hundred after a questionable decision.

An Indian definitely has, but that makes the hundred less impressive.
Mind you, there's a difference between getting a life off a dropped catch and getting a life off a botched call from the umpire.

Sure, but hardly undeserved. He's been fighting all the way through. I've enjoyed watching it. It's the type of scrappy type of play thats vital.

Poor captaincy from Dravid. VRV should have been taken off a while ago.

 

[silentstriker]

Bowled!

 

[silentstriker]

19 runs off the VRV over.

I've enjoyed it too and it's been a good innings. I'm not saying he should've even walked. Still, it is a bit undeserved because he should've been out and he didn't get a life because of a dropped catch or no ball (which would be the opposition's fault).

 

[silentstriker]

Wish he had gotten 100 and then gotten out, I love innings like those. 97 in the fourth innings when your team needs a score is fantastic (same with Cook and England).

 

[adharcric]

There you go, Prince gone. Great innings, but I'm glad he didn't get the ton.

Bad umpiring decisions are just as much a part of the game IMO. But I guess we just disagree on what 'undeserved' means.

 

[Dravid]

If VRV is not dropped for the next match, I'm going to start doing crack.

Sure, but I wouldn't say "just as much". You can't call a Pietersen ton undeserved if he was dropped on 5 because catching is just as much a part of cricket as batting is. Umpiring is not THE sport, it is only there to help facilitate fair play.

Please send me some too. SS too.

 

[Dravid]

If VRV singh didn't ruin it, this would be 2nd biggest test win for India in history for me. But now it's the 3rd.

 

[adharcric]

A win is a win.

 

[Dravid]

A win is a win.

Sure it is, but I rate the two wins against Australia higher cause of how VRV singh bowled here. Should have been 200+, or atleast 150+

 

[silentstriker]

Yea, VRV has got to be dropped.

 

[silentstriker]

Considering we've never won in SA, and absolutely got demolished in all areas of the game in the one dayers, I'll take any win I can get.

Like I said, I rate this the third highest victory for India in test. I'm not saying I won't take this win.

 

[silentstriker]

Here comes the new ball.

 

[Dravid]

It's amazing how on the news, 2 weeks ago they said everyone in the indian team should be kicked out and never be allowed to play Cricket again. And now they are like these guys have done us well and are some of the best cricketers in the world.


Haha they crack me up.
