*Official* India in South Africa

[Uppercut]

Pretty crap tactics from India here, IMO. Bounce him gratuitously if you must but do it from over the wicket so you can at least theoretically attack the stumps.

 

[NasserFan207]

Its basically one freak of a delivery and two poor decisions which have damaged SA today. A bit unlucky.

I don't think Prince should be refusing singles.

 

[Turbinator]

Need 3 more wickets. Umpire Davis deserves a 5-fer I reckon'

 

[Xuhaib]

I think Ravi being the only Indian is a bit light. Perhaps needs one more.

And Ten Cricket not sending in their own team is dissapointing too.

ESPNSTAR used to always send a full complement of Indian commentators everywhere who used to do shows and offer insights right at the grounds and venues.
Really missing that from a Indian point of view.

Even on the mike deness tour of South Africa as well as the last tour to Australia they did a good job offering a alternate view to the host one in terms of broadcast around the world.

The tea time shaz and waz and the speaking to players at lunch is really missing in the telecast too.

Instead we have to listen to Arun lal in some studio.

the last thing you want to see during cricket is two 40+ uncles trying to flirt with young woman.

Ishant seriously is dumb ****ing bowler.... WTF are you going to acheive by just bowling short bowls.

 

[LJMJ]

WTF is Prince doing by refusing singles?

 

[Xuhaib]

Reckon SA still would have lost without those two decisions.

 

[Turbinator]

Please just one more wicket before lunch

 

[NasserFan207]

Reckon SA still would have lost without those two decisions.

Possibly, though if those two and the Zaheer Khan 2nd innings one had been reviewed things would be much closer.

SA first innings was always bound to hurt them you can't afford to give a lead of 75 in a low scoring game.

 

[Dissector]

India have lost the plot in the last half hour. They need to regroup and bowl with more purpose after lunch or they will find the match drifting away.

Yeah that was definitely the biggest factor, SA clearly should've one better. Congratulations to India though, they've come back and bowled really well.

This.

 

[NasserFan207]

I think you are exaggerating a bit, Zaheer will come back and nip Harris out, and that will be that. The target is too big.

 

[silentstriker]

Getting really really scared.

Replace Zaheer with Johnson, Harris with Ishant, and that's what Australia thought at Mohali...

SA don't win nailbiters though. Its just a fact.

 

[centurymaker]

SA to win this!!

 

[vcs]

No poultry enumeration from me yet. It will be really hard for Indian fans to show their faces here if we lose this one despite all the umpiring help we've had.

MJ isn't Khan.
