I know its wrong to judge a Team on a session and a day, but this India bowling in this innings will do a lot to formulate my opinion of this 2007 team.

Its a defendable total, with a very impressive series victory on the line.

If they can bowl SA out I will be impressed and give them a great deal of well deserved praise, but if they lose this game and the series I see little to get excited about.

Its a game they can win, I want to see them pull their socks up and fight like crazy to make it happen.

If we want to give our 100%, first step would be to remove Munaf from the field.

SS, the problem is that you are almost pouring salt on their (Indian fans) wounds. I think they're all acknowledging the poor play of the team, but are extremely frustrated about the umpiring as well. When they see you posting with your "I told you so" rants, they get even more annoyed. I know I would if I was in their shoes. It's ok to be a realist, but a full-time pessimist who repeatedly reminds the fans of their own team's failure can get under the skin. I hope this is not coming out too harsh against you. I love reading your posts and all and think you're a champ. Just giving you perspective as to why everyone is ready to bite you're head off. :)

Fair enough, thats just the way it goes sometimes though (pessimism = realism as far as we're concerned). I'm frustrated too but comments like 'we would have drawn or won the match' really make me focus on the problem.

Just don't get flustered. You react to an over-positive fan by being over-negative. Instead, you can keep your composure and give a balanced take.

Everytime a 4 is it, it feels like someone is stabbing me.


Commentator: "Munaf Patel will not cut this off, he doesn't have the pace"

God wtf is he doing on the field!?
