Well it is not this partnership, it was his batting in the first 10 overs.

Btw, Morkel is a pretty good bowler.

 

[duffer]

Agreed, Morkel and Steyn is a partnership for the future.

Rahul was, and is the mainstay of the team,the skeptics have a goldfish memory,so no point in caring what they say. Its sad that RD has to take all this crap whenever he is going through anything less than a purple patch...

 

[Sanz]

Btw, I think Graham Thrope is class as a commentator, just like his batting. Cool and calm and speaks only when he needs to, lets the viewers enjoy the game without the unnecessary nonsense chatter.

 

[Raghav]

Thanks Ntini for those two wickets. SA needs two more before lunch to help its cause to minimise the lead

 

[Protean]

Ganguly goes to Harris.

 

[duffer]

That one bit sharply and not out of the rough. Kumble and Bhajji should be licking their lips now.

 

[R_D]

Congrats to Dravid.... legend of Indian cricket.

But he is batting like pre-99 right now... need to get a move on just a little.

 

[honestbharani]

Cricinfo :The forecast is unfortunately for rain after lunch

that's good, then. The Chennai Met department are notorious for their forecasts. The opposite almost always happens.

 

[Raghav]

Got em... Ganguly Gone.... That was a good catch from Boucher... Love SA fight back

 

[Cevno]

Another maiden faced by dravid.

 

[duffer]

We've lost all our momentum. Deadset standstill stuff now.

I don't see how we're not allowed to criticise Rahul for his knck this innings 24(75) this session.

 

[Cevno]

Does anyone know what the record is for the slowest hundred.?
Dravid taking the same no of balls to get to a hundred that sehwag took to get to a triple.
That shows the brilliance of sehwag's innings or the mediocrity of dravid's innings.

Slowest hundred is 557 minutes by Mudassar Nazar in 77-78. Don't think Dravid will beat that.

I meant in terms of balls.
I got it is now held by mcglew of 480 balls according to this.

Btw, it will be something to have the slowest hundred and the fastest triple in the same innings.

 

[biased indian]

india takes lead and we still have another 50 overs to bat..and still give SA 15 overs to bat.

if we dont get all out a lead of 200+ can be easly achived
