***Official*** India in South Africa

[Steulen]

These two teams should invite England over so they can play the Kings of Collapse Tri-Series...settle the debate once and for all. Unless you're a Windian.

 

[Dravid]

Ohh googly, otherwise that was out too

 

[ColdSnow]

SA already lead by 230 runs, thats huge. Seeing that India have batting woes at the moment, I think this match is SA's at leat for now.

 

[nexxus]

Haha hawk-eye says it was hitting leg. I wouldn't have given it, but you're being ridiculous social. You're making a fool out of yourself.

And worst of the year was Dhoni being given out LBW against Australia in the last ball of the Indian innings during the Champions Trophy.

Or Dhoni being given not out earlier in this match, when it was hitting nothing but the lower half of middle perhaps?

 

[Dravid]

BTW, I don't know if anyone posted this or not, Yuvraj Singh is feeling better and has started light practice back in India and is expected to play in the ODI series next month against Sri Lanka/West Indies at home. I don't know if it's on the internet but it was on all news channels last night

 

[Dravid]

No, there were far worse decisions in the South African first innings.

Sorry, missing by a minimum of 6 inches - disgraceful decision

Batsman knew it, Sreesanth knew it, fielders knew it

And yes, Dhoni's was worse but this is up there with other contenders

That seems to be good idea. Is the BCCI (Lalit modi) listening ?

So missing by a minimum of 6 inches is equivalent to clipping the leg stump?

Yeah that was a shocker, but not as bad as the CT one. That was quite funny actually, seeing as it was the last ball of the match, and he chopped it on to his leg. The umpire just totally missed it and gave it LBW.

Im not too fussed about losing these six wickets, if we can get to 300 ahead it stops us being too conservative and declaring late.. Good to see Smith in some runs.. I bet the terrorist will be playing in the next match though..

 

[Langeveldt]

And this VRV Singh fellow looks absolutely pants! Surely an out of form Pathan who may come into form is better than this talentless fellow..

 

[Achtung Baby]

Time to get a wicket or two. Zaheer seems to be not that effective when the ball is old.Most of his wickets come in the opening spell.

 

[Jono]

I very rarely do this, but...

FFS VRV Singh stop bowling your no-ball pedestrian crap! Bring Dada on instead!

He's seriously irritating.

 

[Achtung Baby]

or may be bring Sachin for 2-3 overs.

 

[adharcric]

VRV serving up rubbish again. India walking into trouble now.

Yea, I'd say so. I think 300 will be more than enough. India hasn't scored that much yet, let alone in the 4th innings.

Munaf is almost a lock for the 3rd Test.

 

[silentstriker]

Ooh...two close calls.

 

[Slow Love™]

Hmmm.... Sreesanth turning it on again, eh? This game's getting pretty interesting. What do people think India can chase? If they're given four sessions and a bit to bat they ought to be able to chase a target, but anything 300+ will be quite difficult. Seems more likely now that either side will win rather than a draw.

Sheesh, that first appeal in the last over of Kumble's was pretty close.
