***Official*** India in South Africa

[Jono]

Sreesanth and Ganguly were superb, but let's not forget VVS. An Aussie mate of mine and I adore him (particularly my friend who is obsessed) and we jokingly mentioned how that VVS was going to be India's saviour, and that after his 1st ball duck it was clear he'd save India. Well we may have been mucking around a bit, but VVS' knock in the 2nd innings was sublime.

VVS in the avatar for me. Time to resize a pic.

Indian wicket celebrations rank amongst the worst in sports history, really they should show no emotion

pakistani fast bowlers have the best celebrations

Good knock from Prince, becoming one of South Africa’s more reliable batsman. The extravagance in his game the almost Lara like drives may have disappeared but his pretty solid and showed a good head (for the most part). Nice foil in a side which apart from Kallis is about as superfluous as it gets.

Anyways good win for India they deserved it, bowled extremely well. And for all the stick Greg Chappell gets from the Indians and to an extent some of the Indian boys on here, his test record is quite admirable (two defeats in 15) and when compared to Mickey Arthur’s pretty ****ing awesome (two wins in 10+).

Paul Harris brought into the South African squad for Durban, Morne Morkel on standby for Steyn and Hall. South Africa should not consider Steyn for the rest of the series considering there is more than a good chance he will just break down again. Needs a Supersport game to prove his fitness though alas no such opportunity will be available for Dale so either Morkel or Harris should feature dependent on what route they want to take.

Article goes on to suggest that the batting order is likely to change for the next test but Gibbs is more than likely to retain his place unless Jacques Rudolph is selected (dear God!). Or the left field selection of opening up with Andrew Hall is considered, lightning to strike twice perhaps...

You don't have to resize it, put in the URL or upload it and the server does it automatically.

Dont know whats more annoying, South Africa's capitulation or this utter tool Sreesanth.. Nel might be annoying but that's because he's stupid, I'm not sure what this guy has in his defence, unless he was dropped as a child or something..

I was looking forward to Pietersen and Muralitharan retiring so I could enjoy watching cricket without properly disliking anyone in the game, guess I'll have to wait longer..

Well played India anyway, SA need to buck their ideas up

Sreesanth is less of a tool than Nel, and I think his actions on the field still have a limit, even though he expresses his emotions a lot, it's no where as near as Nel

I don't know what he was doing when he was batting, absolute clown, and thats surely something that Nel would never do..

 

[Dravid]

Did you see what happen the ball before? Justified to me what Sreesanth did.

Nope but can probably guess

From cricinfo:


Sreesanth goes bananas

It's a moment that will be played on and on on Indian television, rivaling Ganguly's shirt-waving antics on the Lord's balcony. The sequence of events have been well documented - Sreesanth doesn't connect a Nel short one, is sledged for not having the heart for a fight, charges down the track the next ball, knocks it straight over the bowler's head for six, maniacally swings his bat while running to the other end, crosses Nel, and gyrates his hips with a ferocity that would make the movies.

 

[silentstriker]

And for the record, I have no problem with Nel or Sreesanth. They are both idiots, but fun to watch nonetheless. Though Nel, being a much bigger guy, can usually get away with it a lot better.

 

[Dravid]

Yup. Nel said he was scared to play him. Just watch the highlights and the way he said it. I believe Sreesanth was justified to do what he did.

I don't know about that - I mean I think both Nel and Sreesanth are absolute clowns, but still fun to watch nonetheless.

 

[Dravid]

I swear I couldn't stop laughing when I saw it in slow motion...Nel deserved it
