Goin down the leg side Rauf ?

Most important partnership of the match coming up. Laxman and Dravid have to hang around for a long time today for India to put up a decent first innings score.

Man Kepler Wessels frustrates me.. I thought the Leg before decisions yesterday against smith were spot on... Just nicking Leg stump to me is not out.. because theres doubt.. But Wessels and whoevers with him were saying OUTOUTOUT, yet today with Jaffer, He says "lots of doubt shouldnt be out" which is right.. but thats not what he was saying yesterday to the same appeals...

This commentary team is really poor. Apart from Ramiz Raja and to an extent Siva the rest of the commentators are really monotonous and poor.

Harris is becoming a problem for SA...
Not looking threatening at all..and not even getting turn, where a straight as a arrow Harbijanni was getting big turn

Well he's only going for around a run an over, so I wouldn't say he's a problem exactly.

Delighted to see India getting through that session relatively safely and not losing more than 2 wickets. Looking at these two to press on after lunch.

Harris to turn it square and take 8, just to make Termanati's two posts look even more ridiculous than they already do.
???Hes not turning it, on a pitch where SA need their spinner to take wickets.. Hes not costing runs now, But if he is unable to take wickets, India will get a first innings lead. Which would mean the match... Dravid can bat 2 days, and get 150 and win the game.

THe pitch isnt giving as much assistance to the quicks , as it did to the indian spinners... Try work it out.

Nothing Rediculous about it.

You're right he's not a problem, but he will need to take top order wickets at some stage in this test you feel.

Which is what i was referring to...Runs per over isnt an issue, its the fact harris needs to be threatening, which he isnt, which is a problem.

Argh, Dravid out.

I've noticed (and I'm hoping its just a prolonged form slump) that Dravid has continually failed to go on with it when he gets starts and has battled his way to a 20-30 off 90-110 balls. Its unlike the Dravid of old.

Fair enough that its a tricky wicket to bat on, but we needed at least 60 from Rahul.

Seems every time I make a point, someone on here thinks theyr smart..I said if the pitch is really bad, someone is going to get injured, The reply/?? In todays helmet era theyr not worried about Injuries...

Funny..Tell Dravid that... And this is only day 2
Tell Cummings cheek bone that... Whos helmed didnt protect him.

I say that Harris is becoming a problem , not because hes bowing badly, but becasue hes not threatening, and I get told My 2 posts are rediculous, Right after the break, Wessels says Harris is under preassure becasue hes not looking threatening.

Lol...

Must be 4th grade cricketers on here.

I think you were right about Harris in your post (though a little exaggerated) but let's not be a smart arse here Termanati.

Anyway, crucial part of the game now.
