Jaddu gets Faf!
Come on Ashwin, now your turn to get Duminy and open up the flood gates.
 
Ash finally raised his pace.

Jaddu common get a 5fer.

You have Lord Umar Akmal to bless you. What more do you need.
 
Kohli needs to rotate Ashwin now and bring him on the end in which Duminy is batting.
 
This will go down as one of the most memorable Test matches of all time. Amla and AB in particular will cherish the memories.
 
I was thinking the same bro. Horrible economy. Double of Jaddu.

He is leaking runs. Needs to get his lines tighter. ;-)

Ash needs to be dropped for the next series. I mean, how bad a bowler you must be if you concede 1.12rpo against this SA side. :))
 
Tight finish now. 50-50 now? If India can get AB they can wrap this. SA need one more blockathon to draw this.
 
Ashwin is brilliant against lefties, but to go ahead and be sticking your neck out with such statements really does makes one look silly.

Ashwin should get duminy, but nothing is certain. Both Amla and ABD have shown considerable restrain, and i wont be surprised if the effect rubs on few more players.

Its alright I'll stick my neck out since I was spot on :D
 
Yes, light permitting.

They have been going off a few minutes before the scheduled close of play (4:30pm) everyday. So I see the light holding upto 4:20 which gives us roughly 2:15 of play excluding the tea break.

Tea break in another 30 minutes and if we get one more before that...
 
[MENTION=113824]Nikhil_cric[/MENTION] proved right with Ash and Duminy what you think now?
 
Talked to a local umpire here on Saturday and he said some of Ashwin's deliveries are illegal. I haven't seen him bowl this series so would appreciate an unbiased opinion here.

The only change in this innings has been that he has bowled a few leggies and those were not chucks even if the limit was 5 degrees.
 
Lot of delays sadly.Hope AB stops fighting and just gives in.

This is a lionhearted performance by AB. Has taken quite a few blows from Malcolm Yadav. They need to rough up Vilas at the other end instead. Have a feeling he'll throw it away.

Hoping the same from him we should atleast get close from this stage.
 
Fully deserved for not enforcing follow on and delaying declaration for personal mmilestone
 
Smith: They are having a tough series in India as the pitches have negated the South African side somewhat. One thing I will say is that if these are the wickets they are going to be playing on then Virat Kohli is only going to start averaging 35, so I think we will see them revert pretty quickly. But there is so much talent in South Africa. For me, AB is by far and away the best batter in the world. Bowlers are starting to get a fear factor of bowling at him and that plays into his hands even more.

Lol, Smith.

Sour grapes from Smith. What stopped SA from scoring more than 200 in Bangalore and here in the first innings.
 
Massive reverse swing on offer for the fast bowlers , but Indian bowlers just lack that extra pace , one of them needs to crank it up , Batsmen are playing them late due to lack of that extra yard of pace .
I dont think either of them can bowl a consistent spell in the 90s , Pakistan should use a Duke ball or something like the SG one for it's home series , would help their style of bowling .
VVS laxman has a very weird accent for a commentator , really don't hink live commentary is the thing for him and Kumble .

My Wife says the same not sure why I think he is amazingly insightful and no crap like Sidhu and :out:
 
Vilas gone, rest of the wickets will fall like dominoes now.
 
ABD finally falls.

But make no mistake. Its the pitch patch that reared that finally defeated him.

Not any bowler.

Take a bow man.:bow:
 
Nothing much in the pitch, batsmen tuk tuking.. and yet South Africa is 136/7.

Amazing effort from Indian bowlers. :14: :wasim
 
Lights will be a problem here. Indians need to finish this in the next 7-10 overs.
 
Pitch evolved from session 1 so much.

In session 1 it did literallly nothing.

But incredible batting by Amla and ABD.
