Going by media reports of Dhoni reaffirming his faith in his business partner I can only see another thrashing for India in this test as well.

Is it correct that if the Saffers fail to lose this test they will go to number #1

They just have to win this series for getting to no.1.

That is unfair the Bangladeshis have a young, fit team and are much better at fielding.

The only question is whether it will spin square from the first over or the second.

No, because South Africa prepared a pitch to suit them against England. Which is absolutely fair enough of course, but if India do the same, well c'est la vie.

You are seriously claiming that South Africa didn't set out to create a pitch that best suited them for the final test, and you're moaning that India might do this in the next test?

Well if you knew anything about cricket you would know Wanderers is always spicy.

Has been for 40 years.

We are talking about a track that Indians claim being pace friendly being turnoed into a dust bowl.

I remember Kumb;e bribing the curator last time we were there

Do you just wipe your mind of all events more than a couple of weeks back? Don't you remember any of the build up to the final Test match?

SA would probably love a bunsen. All that rough scuffing up the ball for Steyn to reverse it.

Square turners are better than flat tracks!

Steyn can pwn India(or any other team) on ANY pitch, i think SA will win again.

What? How is Shooey sonding like me, Mr Penguin? I have never accused SA of spicing up the Wanderers track. Not that I would have any problem with them if they had. It sonds to me like you are being a bit oversensitive. Does The Penguin sond like that to anyone else?
