***Official*** India in South Africa

Sehwag can be very dangerous on his day. Problem is, he usually is very unaffective when it isn't his day. Still, his Test record looks very good, and I don't see how you could simply dismiss him as a flat track bully. He has the potential to be so much more.

Disaster! I've really had enough of rain ruining cricket matches. Why can't they have reserve days

Because then they'd not be able to schedule so many games in each series?

SS did you watch any of the SA vs. Australia ODI series?

And if you'd paid attention to domestic cricket and not read blind articles by Sanjay Manjrekar, you'd realise that in the past 2 years India have been making efforts to get domestic pitches to favour fast bowling. Not to mention the bloody ICC CT had pitches favourable to seam and bounce, and that was played in India!

I didn't read articles by Manjrekar so I haven't heard anything about the domestic pitches. I'm very encouraged to hear that -- will we be seeing any of those pitches at the international level (i.e more pitches like the CT)?

Bloody hell, I have an exam tomorrow (will already prevent me watching some of the Ashes on day 1) and tonight is the Ind vs. SA game.

Since its an arvo exam, I reckon I may have to stay up and watch this. Well, at least the 1st innings

 

[honestbharani]

What is the forecast like? Do we have a chance to get a game in?

Haha same deal here, but I want to be up to watch the first ball of the Ashes so no Ind vs Saf for me.

 

[pasag]

Should've come to Monash.

Player against player comparisons are stupid.

 

[TT Boy]

South Africa have won the toss and elected to bat. Now got continuous cricket to watch until 8.00 am tomorrow morning, have to write an essay in that time as well.

 

[Jono]

Bloody hell, wanted to see Sachin bat before I go to bed.

Ah well, come on India. Early break through!

Far out our middle order is weak without Yuvraj. Hope one of them can shine this series.

 

[Jono]

Fix up the camera work! Its all wonky!

 

[pasag]

Zaheeeeer, Smith gone. Great bowling.

 

[pasag]

Fix up the camera work! Its all wonky!

Yeah shocking.

 

[Nate]

Ball by Khan!

EDIT: Even better because it`s Smith.

 

[alternative]

Yeah shocking.

Agreed.

Go Zaheer!!!

 

[pasag]

Dire camera work here. Absolute rubbish.

 

[chalky]

What a delivery by Zaheer traps Bossman LBW with an inswinger

 

[Langeveldt]

Smith and Bosman gone, lets get the proper batsmen in

 

[pietersenrocks]

Poor team selection

Poor team selection for India Kumble,Pathan and Sehwag should be in the team for Jaffer,Harbhajan and Munaf.
