***Official*** India in South Africa

[Dravid]

Agarkar goes for 4 first ball in his second spell..haha

 

[Perm]

Poor running and calling there from de Villiers and Boucher and they paid the price in the end. 72/5 now and lucky that South Africa bat pretty deep.

 

[Dravid]

And next ball he gets a wicket!?!?!?!?!?!? HAHA 76-6!!!!!

 

[pasag]

Haha de Villiers gone. Carbon copy of what happened to India. Amusing cricket.

 

[adharcric]

Goodbye DeVilliers. AA gets a random wicket again.

 

[Perm]

de Villiers gone, caught behind of Agarkar after his first ball goes to the boundary. Once again Abraham Benjamin gets a good start and doesn't go on with it, good cricket from the Indians here.

 

[Dravid]

Kumbles come back is solid, even though he still has to be rewarded.

 

[Perm]

Would love to see Kumble get a few wickets to show some reward for his good comeback bowling. At this stage it looks like Dhoni and Karthik won't get an opportunity to share the wicket keeper's gloves which is a shame.

 

[Dravid]

Woah how did that inside edge miss the stumps.

I haven't even see Karthik on the field yet. Anyone know where he is fielding/

 

[jot1]

I'm feeling like a Pom at the moment!

 

[Perm]

I'm only getting it through cricinfo and they haven't mentioned anything about Karthik or anybody else being off the field. All in all this has been a poor batting performance from South Africa so far, granted that Zaheer Khan was on fire in his opening spell but Graeme Smith played a poor shot, Jacques Kallis shouldn't have played the shot he did, Loots Bosman just threw everything into his shot. Herschelle Gibbs hit it straight to the fielder after getting off to a good start, he was the one that could've restored some respectability. Boucher should never have been run out and that comes down to some poor communication and good fielding from Pathan. de Villiers just had a push at a regulation delivery and shouldn't have.

 

[Dravid]

Interesting to see Bhaji didn't get an over yet.

 

[Dravid]

Dravid drops a catch..ugh!!

 

[adharcric]

1) Dravid's catch was a tough chance

2) Karthik's been fielding at silly point and short leg for spinners and at point for seamers

3) Kumble should've had that last wicket; Jerling, you fat ****!

 

[Dravid]

Hot spot should be introduced to make decisions.

 

[Perm]

Do they have access to it? I thought at this stage it was only a Channel 9 tool. Tough chance for Dravid, but those are the kinds of things that you ned to take if you want kick your opponent when they are down. Pollock and Kemp building a good little partnership here.

Nope, but I'm saying other channels should buy it, and ICC should make a rule to let umpires use it to make decisions.

 

[Perm]

Pollock just smashed a drive right at Kaif's shin, he was fielding at silly point and went down in a hurry. Don't they usually wear shin pads when they are fielding in close like that? Is he alright?

 

[pasag]

Only Ch 9 have one. That should've been out btw.
