1000 runs in 2010 for Kallis in 2010.

What a player. 11,000+ runs, 160+ catches and 250+ wickets. A true legend.

Lol at this rate, Kallis and Amla could be eying Moyo's record of most runs in a calendar year.
 
I have checked Unadkat's Stats @ Cricinfo.. He Haven't done anything special to be selected for Indian National Team.. Must have used some sort of Lobby..
 
We are so used to see the opposition 2/250 when they bat against India. Where we play does not make a difference.
 
India totally being dominated.
I really dont want to blame the batsman because it's just been one innings and it will be immature to jump the gun.
However our lack of penetrative bowling is severly being exposed here.Raina bowling on a green pitch? Gimme a break. The worrying part is without Zaheer,the others are not able to shine even in these bowling friendly conditions.

Got picked for India A team on the A tour of England. Did well there.

Went to Australia for the Emerging player's tournament, did well there too.
 
The new Indian bowler has settled into bowing in the high 70s!... Has he reached his peak in speed already? :)
 
SA will be all out I think. But Yes if they reach 550 or around they will happily declare to invite India to bat again...
 
I cannot emphasize enough on how important it is for India to get this partnership broken. If these two get going, rest assure that by the end of today the SA will be leading by 250-260.
 
S.A should aim for 600 here and look to smash India big time! :)
 
Indian pace machine is helpless.

India has been found out. Home Track Bullies were destined to struggle/lose against someone like SA in SA.
 
50 for the run machine Amla.

Well done. What a player. On his way to become a modern era legend.
 
S.A lead by 100 @ TEA

They should be 200 ahead by close and have a huge strangle hold on this match!
 
40 more overs to go today. May get around 35 of them today and SA would surely score around 150 in those overs.

End of the day they would be leading by 250+. As the curator predicted, this could be over in 3 days unless SA keep batting till tea tomorrow and extend their lead to 400-450.
 
It will be interesting to see how the Indian team bowls after tea. Lets see what kind of strategy Kristen/Dhoni can come up with against these two..

What worked for the SA was the bowling short deliveries and push the batsmen back into crease, and then bowl a full delivery to get a wicket. But SA batsmen haven't been scared to play their pull/cut shots on short deliveries.

With the new ball due in 15 overs, I think Dhoni will just opt for spinners to go through the overs and expecting his seamers to make use of the new ball. But I think in the meantime, SA will look to attack and these two batsmen are experts in converting 50's into big 100's.
