Although the wicket has dried out nicely! still pathetic effort from the indian bowlers! shame
 
I dont know how many of you saw this quote, but when I saw it, I found it to be a bit too optimistic...

Once we go out to bat in the next innings, we will show what batting actually means. - Bhaji

So will Bhajji reach his hundred today? Just 24 away now.
 
Is it just me or Unadkat just touched 130 kmh :O :O

Unbelieveable stuff!!!!
 
The big question is if SA can reach 400 today or not. Still 34+ overs left.
 
Kallis brings up his 11500th test runs!

Hes catching up fast to Lara(11,953) and Dravid(11,957).

But the fact that he is an all-rounder, it is sheer brilliance on his part.
 
From Cricinfo "South Africa are grinding India to dust here. And yes, they are playing on the same pitch as yesterday" Lolz....

Description Reads: Jaidev Unadkat is all over the place in his followthrough, South Africa v India, 1st Test, Centurion, 2nd day, December 17, 2010
:)))
 
65.3


Sreesanth to Kallis, no run, over-pitched again on off stump and Kallis drives it back to Sree who fields and gives Kallis the stare. Looks the part, with a head band and rock-starrish hair-do. Will help if he bowls at more than 129 kph and if he actually manages to trouble the batsmen though.

:))):))):)))
 
ok to the guys watching this, is this teh same pitch? has it flattened out or is the india attack really really toothless..I guess 129 vs 150 says it all!!...i see a new indian bowling legend has made his debut!!..lol..
 
69.3
Sharma to Amla, 2 runs, Amla drives straight to cover and they take a tight single. India rarely hit the stumps, but Sreesanth did this time. And conceded an overthrow. That kind of day.

Lols even cricinfo showing it's frustration.
 
Sharma to Amla, no run, the fastest ball I've seen this session - 134.6 kph

:))
 
69.4 Sharma to Amla, no run, the fastest ball I've seen this session - 134.6 kph - and gets some extra bounce as well. Just outside off and Amla feels for it from the crease. Very close to the outside edge, but not close enough to hit it


Wow. Ishi did 134! these guys are really talented!
 
I think this guy unadkat has been rushed in to the intl scene. let him plat domestic for another couple of years and sort his bowling action out, while hes at it, have him join a gym.
 
Harbhajan Singh to Kallis, 2 runs, turning down the leg from Harbhajan - if there's a wicket-taking strategy behind this, it's not very apparent

:))

Cricinfo frustrated :yk
 
seems like you need to be able to get the ball up there by bending your back and extracting something from this pitch else your gonna get pounded..i guess if undhkat tried to bend his back it may break hence the slow speeds!!
 
Don't say I didn't warn you. South Africa have and always will, whip India in our own turf. And they've only beaten us once in their own turf too (series that is).

Am I the only one not surprised ? I mean these articles about "too close to call" had me in stitches. Some people were even trying to compare attacks and saying it was "too close to call."

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, may I present unto you....
 
And yes I'm watching this hoping South Africa lose a wicket. It's pitiful to watch a team who can't take more than 2 wickets in a day on a saffer pitch. I don't have shadenfreude.
 
Hehehehee.... I cant Stop Laughing at this new guy UndanKand?

He has the build of a ball boy and not a Fast bowler!!

Love it. hehehe
 
If Unadkat is the best young pacer India got then they are in for a world of hurt in the near future !
 
Another 4 pathetic they'll be lucky to draw 1 of these 3 tests. India will come tumbling down the rankings once south africa beat them england will do the same next summer. You'll get found eventually with this medicore attack.

:))) Aren't they just? Instead of complementing the South Africa batsmen they're taking out their frustration after dubbing this the "too-close-to-call" battle
