***Official*** India in South Africa

[Dravid]

Crap whens the last time that happen, bounced as soon as it edged and headed to the keeper

 

[Achtung Baby]

I hope the age old problem of getting last 3-4 wickets doesn't crop in.
Also is this pitch really like an indian turning track ??
Do we have uneven bounce too because kumble thrives more on uneven bounce then the turn.

 

[adharcric]

How many balls did he take up?

40 and 1.

 

[Achtung Baby]

Common Kumble dont be such a jerk .
Lead is now down to 100.

 

[adharcric]

Poor show, Kumble seems tired. Tendulkar or Munaf ... need a change.

 

[Dravid]

Sachi on

 

[adharcric]

Let's go Munaf

 

[Dravid]

I hate this partnership. We can't get the tail out even if our lives depended on it

 

[Jono]

They're not the tail.

Stop expecting SA batsmen to crumble ball after ball on a relatively slow and flat track. Its like if India don't get a wicket in 10 overs they're bowling badly and should all be shot

Just watch the game and be patient.

Boucher and Pollock certainly count as part of the middle order IMO. They have 6 test centuries between them and averages of 30 and 32 respectively. If that is tail, then the England tail starts at #6.

Exactly, the Aussies last night and SA today illustrating my long held , committed and sometimes derided opinion that batting depth is extremely important and that England cant balance a team properly to save their lives.

 

[adharcric]

Crap, this is getting frustrating.

 

[Dravid]

I say bring on Sachin in about 5-6 overs

 

[adharcric]

Chances of victory dying now.

 

[Achtung Baby]

It gets done to india more often then india does it to others.

 

[silentstriker]

We cannot go into another test with this fielding side. We simply cannot.

 

[Achtung Baby]

Now a days either india wins or looses in such matches. As the chances of win die down chances of defeat increase.

 

[Dravid]

Thank god

 

[Dravid]

We cannot go into another test with this fielding side. We simply cannot.

I swear to god, Munaf actually stopping the ball looks more pathetic then is attempts and where he misses. I don't know why.

 

[Prince EWS]

We cannot go into another test with this fielding side. We simply cannot.

I think their batting and bowling prowess over the other candidates more than makes up for any fielding errors though. I cringe at the thought of players not making test teams because of ordinary fielding unless of course they are wicket keepers.
