***Official*** India in South Africa

[Dravid]

It's not that bad. Bad day at the office. There have been worse days. Very bad decision to Kumble, and its not excusable, but it happens.

Did I ever say it doesn't happen? I just wanted to know if Nnanden saw it before he said we were overreacting. And what do you have to say about VRV and Sreesanth getting words from the umpire, and nothing is ever said to Nel?

Eh? VRV ran onto the pitch. What, he's supposed to just let that go?

 

[Nate]

Can't believe SA fans lay into Prince when he's been so good for them for around 18 months now. Don't know what more they can ask from him.

He gets verbally barraged by Warne, Australian players and the media for not being able to play spin back in 2005/06 tour of Aus, and he goes and scores a century in the 3rd test in Sydney against Warne. Now he's fighting when his team has their backs to the wall for the third innings in a row.

Agreed, but how ugly is he to watch!

 

[Dravid]

Ofcourse not, but did you notice where Nels follow up was last match for ever ball? And not even one word was said to him?

 

[adharcric]

Really isn't our day. That's probably the 10th boundary through third man.

 

[silentstriker]

Lack of a third man is really getting to me. Poor captaincy by Dravid today. 7-2 field all day, no third man, introducing Ganguly to release the pressure right after lunch....bad bad!

 

[silentstriker]

Another one! That might be out too.

 

[adharcric]

Really hope Boucher doesn't get that 50. It'll be thoroughly undeserved.

 

[silentstriker]

Losing it....

 

[Dravid]

Ofcourse not, but did you notice where Nels follow up was last match for ever ball? And not even one word was said to him?

I'm still waiting for you to tell me why VRV singh was told not to walk on the pitch when Nel was all over it last match, and nothing was said to nel, and why Sreesanth gets a warning from the umpires for talking when Nel has his mouth moving after every single ball and nothing is said to him.

I'm not usually the guy that goes on calling cricket figures bias, but these umpires are bias.

I didn't see him 'walking all over'. A couple close calls maybe. Let's see this match.

 

[Dravid]

Another undeserved 50.

 

[Jono]

No one has third mans nowadays as was pointed out by the commentators, but you're right. I had a go at Ponting for no third mans during the Ashes, so Dravid too is at fault.

 

[silentstriker]

Another one through third man...Jesus! Horrible by Dravid.

 

[pasag]

Massive wicket by Sreesanth. Boucher goneeeeeeeeeeeee.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Great fightback from SA. Had the distinct feeling India were going to run all over them earlier.

How's the pitch been playing? I haven't had the chance to watch much.

Well its one thing not to have it to start off, but when you see boundry after boundry through that same area, you've got to put one there.

 

[adharcric]

Go home Boucher. Go home and cry.

 

[tendulkar]

BEAUTY, got him. On ya bike Boucher

 

[silentstriker]

Bowled him
