Just came online to see sehwag bat :D, cmon Sehwag, play a blinder.

Dont get me wrong anybody, I still want South africa to win though.
 
its a real shame this series ends here, should have been a 4 or 5 match series. Would have been really great spectacle, something that would have motivated our players too to perform like that.
 
Harris is going to be exposed in this test. In both innings Indians were under a lot of pressure and had to play him cautiously. Hes going to get owned today.
 
What the heck was Sehwag doing there?!

Horrible running. Gambhir had no chance there.

This is the kind of clueless (baseless) and one-eyed criticism that is annoying...Sehwag is quite good against fast men which is why he is opening the batting...He may not hook or pull the ball but he plays the ball on it's merit most of the time...

As to his record in SA/Eng..He hit a century on debut against SA in SA against Donald, De Villiers and Pollock in their pomp...He hit a century against England in England in his first test there...

similarly, he has hit a few centuries against Australia in Australia...
 
Duminy dropped Sehwag. OMFG!!!! cant bvelieve it!!!

Thats a "huge blow", Yep that Sehwag is a "massive" cricketer.... Duminy just couldnt take the "pressure"

Classic football related mistake - Duminy went for the man instead of the ball

I'll get me large coat.. :inti

this is kamran akmal like mistake and he will not play in the next game/series if India wins this test due to Sehwag.
 
ndia 132/2 (26.0 ov)

India trail by 164 runs with 8 wickets remaining ...this is the most imp partnership that could take the game away from SA....both need to make it big as they have got the starts
 
great thing about sehwag and gayle is that they both take time out of the equation of the game. if they play well, match is bound to give you a result.
 
Sehwag gone usual crazy Virender Sehwag 90 off 75
Sachin 39 off 62
 
No offences meant but there is an age old myth that the lion hearted Sardars go crazy when the clock strikes 12. Similarly, Sehwag goes crazy when he is in the 90s, 190s, 290s etc. As I said, no offences meant. Please take it in the right spirit. Just enjoy the metaphor. To be honest, I have great respect for the Sardars.

Interesting scene: Before the start of play today, Sachin Tendulkar was having a warm-up session with the bat and in walked our Danny Morrison - the previous world record holder for the most number of ducks in Tests - immediately he picked up SRT's bat and started showing off his backfoot defensive strokes to the Master. Sunny Gavaskar and Robin Jackman are saying on air that if Sachin gets to a ton today, he will dedicate it to Morrison!
 
India might get a lead of 50 today.Great platform for a win.

That would make Morrison's day and his step toward becoming Batting Coach :)
 
Looks like India will ge wracking up 500-600 here and S.A could be on the end of a huge pasting!
 
SA better get Sewag out before 150. His ability to turn 100s in to double and triple is great.
 
How is everything down the legs wide? I read somewhere that its for "a negative line"?
 
So the great SA attack has been reduced to bowling 3 feet wide on either side

I heard the commies saying that umpires got it right........... If you bowl leg stump line and it turns towards the batsman.its ok and if doesnt turn then the umps giving it wide
 
Just came back from uni,not surprised at all to see India in a commanding position coz it is a belter of a track..Saffers did their favourite act in their inns and now find themselves in deep trouble..
 
SA getting a taste of their own medicine (finally) and I am loving every drop of it :)
 
India lead by 2 runs...........sachin moves to 91 with that 2 runs......
 
Sehwag playing a brilliant innings................. 4444444444444444 moves to 161
 
good delivery from parnell.....ball came in.......
Commies wondering if the ball is starting to reverse......but parnell is not bowling full enough.............
