Huge wicket that. Now get AB early or else he'll score another big one.

by SG Fri 11 Apr 2008, 09:30

RP and Ishant were both out injured yet people blame them for being wayward first game back.

For Ishant its understandable but if you look at RP's stats he hasn't taken a wicket in his last 3 tests, of course he didn't bowl too many overs in Adelaide.

Good excuse that, but for 3 tests?

He injured his hamstring in Adelaide and hardly bowled. Having an injured hamstring means he can do no bowling until it is mended . . . usually 4-6 weeks, and then he thrown back into tests wuith no warm-up . . . I think you're being a bit hard.

60.4 "Sreesanth to de Villiers, FOUR, too full outside off stump, de Villiers creams it towards Harbhajan at cover who makes an awful attempt to the field the ball and lets it go right past him for four to the cover boundary, pathetic effort."

India really do look flat . . . they really do need some kind of controversy to get them up for the game it seems.

He's always been an exceptionally good catcher, when compared to his ground fielding (as are Dravid and Laxman).

by leg glancer Fri 11 Apr 2008, 10:39

I know. But he was actually on the field. Wow. monkey

If we can get atleast 2 more wickets before stumps today, this would be India's day. Don't forget SA were 1/152 at one stage.

by SG Fri 11 Apr 2008, 11:21

Sehwag gets Prince.

by SG Fri 11 Apr 2008, 11:21

Was a marginal decision as per cricinfo.

My wish granted, Bhajji gets Morkel.

by SG Fri 11 Apr 2008, 11:41

It has to be said that Dhoni has rotated his bowlers very intelligently, while Kumble was so stale in this regard.

by Batman Fri 11 Apr 2008, 11:53

At 152/1 it certainly can't be said that the pitch was bad. Guess the Saffies let their own pre-match paranoia about spin and the pitch get to them.

by JKLever Fri 11 Apr 2008, 11:55

India's day whatever happens between now and stumps...

Especially after losing the toss and given the start SA got off to.

by leg glancer Fri 11 Apr 2008, 12:01

The score is up to 263 now with 3 wickets still left. Judging by how the track has played on day one, I''d say India have got to terminate this innings pronto. These are crucial runs being made now, and anything over 300 on this track is a good score.

by SG Fri 11 Apr 2008, 12:08

Ishant comes back for another spell and bowls Boucher.

by skully Fri 11 Apr 2008, 12:15

Ooh, noice comeback by India. 7 wickets for just over 100. Well played to them.

by SG Fri 11 Apr 2008, 12:16

Bhajji gets his 3rd, 9 down.

by skully Fri 11 Apr 2008, 12:17

So SG, is the wicket doing much? You mentioned earlier that Sehwag was turning it pretty big.

by SG Fri 11 Apr 2008, 12:20

Yep, wicket is aiding bowlers, thats for sure.

I think SA has already put enough runs on the board considering the potency of their attack and India's batting form.

by SG Fri 11 Apr 2008, 12:21

Ishant gets his 3rd, SA all out for 265.

by SG Fri 11 Apr 2008, 12:22

All of Ishant's 3 victims were bowled.
