*Official* India in South Africa

[Contra]

Sach needs to stop playing on the up.

Is Ten Cricket the most pathetic channel ever ?

 

[Cevno]

You surely can spot CWers from a distance with their habit of jinxing, can't you?

This is, still, a very crucial match for Pujara. Big scores can make him a serious contender for a Test spot. Big scores and a win can seal his place in the team.

He already is a serious contender for a test spot.

In fact he is the incumbent.

A big Score here and he is certain till the England series here unless someone else does something extraordinary in ODI's or domestic cricket.

 

[Cevno]

Wow, almost.

3rd slip though.

Was coming that.

Lopsy is bowling well.

Rivals Neo Cricket for sure.

ESPNSTAR is easily the best network for all sports here.

Thank god they have the world cup,though it has meant that they have lost some domestic rights.

Can't recall Neo Cricket ever being as bad as this.

Lopsy will get Sachin at 1st slip.

Mark my words.

Really depressing to read all this damning soothsaying, jinxing or otherwise. Especially when we're in the mire. Where's Turbinator when you need him?

Had I said "Sachin to ton up" that edge would have gone to hand.

Instead it went over for 4.

You should be thanking me.

You can give me my avatar for a month if your voodoo gets us a win.

Turbi will only come in when the chips are really down .....btw if India win this series I will have egg on my face.........I was laughing at Turbi's prediction that India will win the series 3-0 or something

 

[Blaze 18]

Gambhir should face as much as Tsotsotbe as possible, and Tendulkar should face as much as Morkel as possible.

EDIT : shot from Gambhir!

 

[nexxus]

Grr, these 2 starting to get a bit ornery here. Need to nurdle one of them out.

 

[Cevno]

Gambhir really reminds me of Ganguly last tour here.

Does not look good ,flashes and misses and even nearly runs people out. But is always willing to slug it out and not give his wicket away.

 

[Shri]

Gambhir got into form and got his confidence in the ODI series against NZ when he was captain. Good to see so close to the WC.

I don't think Turbanator predicted a 3-0 win.

 

[Contra]

I'm happy Gambhir is around when Harris comes on. For some reason we haven't really scored of this guy as much as we should. he's bowled decently but really we should score more off him

 

[Shri]

Please bat Sehwag at 5 in the 4th innings.

 

[Cevno]

It's a good thing Gambhir is there to deal with Harris too.

Does not overattack like Sehwag but does enough to not let him do his containing job.

 

[Jono]

Gambhir really reminds me of Ganguly last tour here.

Does not look good ,flashes and misses and even nearly runs people out. But is always willing to slug it out and not give his wicket away.

His grit/fighting qualities are massively underrated.

Will have learned a lot from Kirsten I reckon. Played like him to save the test in the 2nd test vs. NZ in NZ back in 2009.
