India v South Africa, 3rd test, Kanpur, 11-15 April

Sth Af will need some blond haired spinner to jag 6-9 or some ridiculous figures...

is the Morne in Morne Morkel pronounced "Morn" or "Mor-nay"?

As long as you play every game on a wicket like this one, I don't see why that wouldn't work.

Sehwag has looked significantly more menacing than Harbhajan on a number of occasions, on a variety of different surfaces.

Jebus, what a debacle. I punted at lunch that it could be all over today and it looks the case.

102 for 8: game over today by the looks of things

46.5 Sreesanth to Harris, OUT, caught! South Africa are crumbling, Harbhajan Singh bowls the straighter ball flat and fast on off stump, Harris goes back to defend, he is playing for the turn but the ball goes straight through and hits the outside edge, Dravid takes a comfortable catch at first slip
PL Harris c Dravid b Sreesanth 0 (7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

As it stands, two Subis have 2/9 and another has 2/11.

Hmmmm, only just tuned in.

Looks like that last wicket stand by India killed SA a bit. A 60 run lead was quite a lot as it turned out.

That is exactly what the punters in the studio had been predicting yesterday. In fact they were saying a lead of 40 to 50 would give India the command.

62 runs for India to win then

All gawn.

Gehwag.

Just about all over. 20 to win with 8 wickets in hand.

Gangles brings up 100 runs in the match. No mean feat in this game, Surely MoM?

All over. Dravid hits a 4 to win the match. India by 8 wickets. Well done to them.

Have to say, this is the kind of pitch I wish the ECB prepare when we are 1 down with 1 to play. No farking chance however....

Doesn't matter - it was a result pitch.It was going to be 1-1 or 0-2 from the toss. We normally give sides the Oval...
