AWTA.A drawn game with 2-3 days of play in overcast conditions is probably ideal for India. They get the match practice they badly need in bowler-friendly conditions and hopefully Zaheer will also recover and be fit for the next game.
Neither are South Africa. Lost their opening home test matches to India, Australia (twice) and the West Indies in the past 4 years. Finish strong mind.AWTA.
We aren't known for starting well in series away from home anyway, so might as well hope for the weather to give us a helping hand here.
Didn't Pakistan win the 2nd match in 2007?Neither are South Africa. Lost their opening home test matches to India, Pakistan, Australia (twice) and the West Indies in the past 4 years. Finish strong mind.
You are right. My mistake.Didn't Pakistan win the 2nd match in 2007?
Isn't that mainly at home though? Because India are slow starters everywhere. Even when we win a test first up it usually contains some sort of collapse (Bangladesh earlier this year) lolNeither are South Africa.

even with him in, they'd probably have fun.Is Zaheer Khan injured whats the goss?
Without him you would think the likes of Kallis would have some fun with the Indian attack.
And South Africa are at home...Isn't that mainly at home though? Because India are slow starters everywhere. Even when we win a test first up it usually contains some sort of collapse (Bangladesh earlier this year) lol
Yeah I know I was just saying India are bad starters everywhere unlike SA who are only like that at home.And South Africa are at home...
Haha, so true. In addition to the test match against Bangladesh, they nearly lost the first test to Australia as well. Also, India's two losses this year were both first tests (South Africa and Sri Lanka).Isn't that mainly at home though? Because India are slow starters everywhere. Even when we win a test first up it usually contains some sort of collapse (Bangladesh earlier this year) lol
Graeme Smith may disagree.even with him in, they'd probably have fun.

There is only two (batsmen) and one of them has a great home record against India/Zaheer.None of the left-handers in the South African side would disagree. The right-handers would not disagree though, because Zaheer Khan is piss-poor against right-handers.
Who ? Ashwell Prince ?There is only two (batsmen) and one of them has a great home record against India/Zaheer.
