If Harsha Bhogle can get away with it.. then anyone can. :D
 
61.4
Harbhajan Singh to Prince, OUT, 79.7 kph, Done in by the flight. Harbhajan suddenly shifted the line from the leg and middle to outside off and also tossed it up more. Prince seemed lured to his demise as he sort of stabbed it across the line, checked his drive and the ball ballooned to mid-off. India break through.

AG Prince c Sharma b Harbhajan Singh 23 (80b 1x4 0x6) SR: 28.75
 
A very determined looking Dale bhai walks upto the crease. He is gonna have to support Amla.
 
There's no way SA will be able to bat out 60 overs to draw this. Best bet is to get the grass skirts out and the coconut shells and start the rain dance!
 
India ke saaray bowlers ko Amla ki wicket ki talash hai.. par yaad rakho Amla ko out karna mushkil hi nahi.. namumkin bhi hai.
 
wow .. south africa suck.

neither of these teams deserve to be number 1
 
I am really curious about this duminy guy. He is living on one century even after pretty much no performance since then. Probably averages in 20s or less since then.

'Tis a lot though when you have only three wickets left, a 5th day pitch and no batsmen bar Amla!

Amla is pretty darn good. Please take him into the Pak team.

Nah, mate. He is staying just where he is thank you very much!!!

The "terrorist" has come good!!!!

:14:
 
Amla is my favorite player and he is playing really well today, i don't know what has happened to prince though. he is been performing horribly lately. SA is going to draw this one
 
Another session to go, we need a moment of inspiration from somewhere, even a moment of madness from either saffa batsman will do as well.

He is a South African, from Indian descent!!!! 1st and foremost he is a Saffer!!!!!! Born and bred in the rainbow nation!!!!
 
ISHANT STRIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A good supporting knock by Parnell.

Just two more wickets to go. The tail needs to support Amla, India should go all out attacking.

Better talk to Parnie about this when he comes back home. I am pretty sure that India have showers and toilet paper ..... ;-)
 
Amla needs to do a Hussey and Morkel needs to do a Siddle if SA are to have any hope at what would be an undeserved rearguard escape (except for Amla that is).

I predict the last wicket to fall with 18 overs to go.
 
I want rain................. thats better than the last wicket pair saving the match........ :6: :6: :6:

And Dhoni needs to do :moyo the great :14:
 
How is the light?

SA just needs to hand on while India needs to attack, attack and attack!

Dhoni isnt stupid ala Yousuf
 
Looks like SA will sneak in with a draw either by playing the overs or by bad light........
Time for the truth................... Even if India wins and retains the number 1 spot, SA is the better team overall............ Hats off to Hashim Amla.......

These two are holiding from last 11-12 overs so lets hope they can do another 12 overs
 
Its unbeleivable how well Amla has played all series ... The mental stength of this guy is unbeleivable!
 
SRT on to bowl...

Just 7 overs left!

What drama - for the one thousandth time, can any other sport match proper Test cricket!
 
6 overs left. Dhoni should have 7 fielders close and 2 spinner operating!

Come on India!

This must be tense for both sides!

Sorry mate have to cheer for Amla, all his team mates have let him down.

This will the innings of the year if he can get them through

yaar why isnt Amla taking a single of the last ball
Click to expand...
Well morne has played out 50 balls so far so he's doing alright. Plus I think he is happy to face Mishra and Bhaji and leave the part timer to bowl to Morne. Still just one ball can change everything ... just 5 overs to go after this one.
 
Even if the overs are completed, play will go on till 16:39 local

Amla has played a great knock, hats off to him and I hope he will be remembered for a long time whether or not he gets them through today.
