***Official*** India in South Africa

This Morkel fellow looks good with the bat too.

India can't get bowlers out while they are batting. Dunno why.

 

[Jono]

Shouldn't they be going for quick runs?

India can't get bowlers out while they are batting. Dunno why.

The Indian bowlers bowl too conversionally, basically. To tailenders, anything out of the ordinary (yorkers, bouncers, genuine pace, vicious spin, wronguns etc) is deadly - India don't really have that in their current attack. Sreesanth, Zaheer and Kumble bowl a good line and length but they aren't really suited to getting tailenders out.

14 runs off 22 balls, thats a decent rate, especially when just starting.

 

[honestbharani]

Bye bye match and series.

 

[silentstriker]

LOL @ Ravi Shastri & Alan Donald not knowing anything about timeless test,

50 up for Pollock. Good innings when SA needed to make runs.

Bye bye match and series.

wow go polly
i have always been a fan and supporter off polly. i thnik he is a much better allrounder than flintoff. his innings here is proving this.

Flintoff has never scored a 50 then?

VRV returning = declaration looming

 

[silentstriker]

Consecutive boundaries....India on the backfoot here. No chance of a win obviously, and our only hope is now the weather.

Lets home Smith gets conservative and doesn't declare till tea.

Pollock should have really scored more runs in his test career, fantastic striker of a cricket ball. Only has two centuries which is probably not good enough for a player of his quality though he does have an unofficial third against the Indians in the last match of India’s previous tour to South Africa.

Morkel looks like a decent number nine, hits the ball hard like his brother and has the same sort of stance and set up as Albie.

 

[TT Boy]

If the weather wasn’t so bad or ever looming than Pollock could easily ton up here, bought runs when he come to crease so his made my day already.

 

[silentstriker]

AD talking about a result tonight.

 

[silentstriker]

So, when Virender Sehwag fails in the second innings, what should be done with him?

 

[TT Boy]

AD talking about a result tonight.

 

[adharcric]

Poor captaincy from Smith, but I don't mind.

 

[TT Boy]

Hour left to tea isn't it, Smith should declare now because there isn't going to be much cricket after tea one would guess.
