***Official*** India in South Africa

Kumble's been trash with the bat lately. Looked pretty solid in the West Indies.

Hopefully Zaheer uses his brain and hangs around. We need to try and stay there until tea.

This is the India I've been used too. So what are the odds on the nine wicket defeat (again) after a big overseas victory (same as Australia and Pakistan).

 

[silentstriker]

And thats #8.

 

[adharcric]

Sreesanth better not be a dumbass like Kumble and Zaheer.

I wouldn't mind if this series went the same way as that Pakistan series...winning 2-1 sounds good to me. Even 1-1, as in Australia, would be great.

I don't think you have much of a right to expect anything from a #10. Anyway, India lose 2-1?

 

[social]

Hate to say I told you so (not really ) but this wicket was always going to suit the tall SA quicks

Of course, they've been helped by totally inept Indian batting from all bar Laxman, Dhoni and Tendi (althought the latter played one of the worst shots he'll ever play).

I disagree really. I don't think you really have a right to expect any runs at all, but you should be able to expect sensible batting. Batting ability from a #10 is not required not expected, but a sensible cricket brain should be expected from every position in the batting order and in the field for that matter. Batsmen like Murali really annoy me to be honest.. whereas Chris Martin I don't mind so much...

Pretty solid debut from Morne Morkel, considering his age.

 

[Langeveldt]

Cmon, I want to see Sreesanth leave the ground dripping claret..

 

[Langeveldt]

Yeah Nellah... Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[silentstriker]

Think we can get the lead less than 100? Doubt it, but lets hope.

 

[silentstriker]

Well at least 200 came up for us.

 

[silentstriker]

Nel warned for running on the pitch. Happy, Dravid?

 

[silentstriker]

Cmon, I want to see Sreesanth leave the ground dripping claret..

Kind of want that too actually. I want to know if he can keep his emotions under control when it counts.

 

[silentstriker]

30 run partnership...pretty good.

 

[adharcric]

Laxman better get that 50.

 

[silentstriker]

There is the red on the bowling hand.

 

[adharcric]

That must have hurt.

 

[Achtung Baby]

Well in both the teams the contributions of tailenders have not been that far behind the top order.Does Such kind of pitches require playing positively because the more you grind the harder it becomes to get runs.
