Laxman goes. I don't see Raina and Dhoni surviving until the end of tomorrow.
 
@ Whippy. I know English fans who come out in numbers and celebrate when the Aussies are doing badly. You live in the UK, don't you listen to Talksport or even Sky Sports? It happens with all fans not only Pakistani ones. Come on man wake up.

Thank you. We do grow them pretty here in Saf. These of course are the riff raff who stayed behind in Pretoria. All the real pretty ones are currently at the beach on holiday in their bikinis. Where I'm lucky enough to live.
 
It's not over yet. The new ball should spell out what is going to happen. A couple of hundreds are still quite possible on this wicket and with tiring bowlers.

@ OZGOD -- England have lost the Match as well as Lost their Confidence.. Aussie should grab this Opportunity to Roll over English to Secure this Years Ashes..

:19::19::19: All the Best :19::19::19:
 
Woeful shot from Raina, he is :out. Didn't look anything like a Test batsman. 6-277. Tendy looked furious at the other end.
 
Raina :)))

I can't remember a player getting dismissed liked that. Guiding the ball directly into the slips. Not a bit of exaggeration.
 
The hair transplant makes the difference

Auf Wiedersehen to another Indian Star batsman :)))

Hey ozgod. Great win today. Strange to find myself supporting Australia in an Ashes battle even with half the English team being Saffers.

Oi Saffer. Good to see you again mate. I might be giving your country a visit again next year - planning to go to beautiful Cape Town again.
 
oh my!

SA could not have asked for a better session!

4 wickets and that too of the 3 of the pillars of current Indian line-up!
 
And Guess What Who Caught Raina's Catch.. Its Paul Harris who is fielding at 1st slip because of Smith's Finger Injury.. :))
 
The next two test matches are at Durban and Cape Town...the pitches at these venues are usually quite spicy too I believe.

Saffer can you confirm if i'm right on that?
 
Raina is proving again and again he isn't ready for test cricket...innings defeat on the cards for India...May be only interesting thing would be to see if Sachin can get his 50th ton...for that him and Dhoni need to survive new ball after 80th over..Steyn and Morkel will try to bowl thunder bolts
 
I wonder if the India-is-the-best brigade will blame the toss again for their 2nd innings collapse :13:

Newlands has a bit of bounce. Kingsmead has a bit of movement - a combination of the pitch and the humidity.
 
I really hope India get a whole host of dodgy umpiring decisions go against them...i really hope they do. Their annoying arrogance in being the only team to reject UDRS really riles me up. They deserve to get a massive howler that changes a particular game.

Durban pitch used to be called the "green mamba". It was fierce and you would see the bouncers often flying over the keepers head. These days it's lost some of the bounce and pace but still up there. Cape Town is just a good test wicket. A little for the bowlers but no snake pit.

I agree. What possible reason was there for that decision ? Hoping Umpires don't want to risk the big ipl money etc and hence favour India ?

Yeah there's that to look forward to I suppose. I'd prefer if he gets it in the next series of course , but if he must get it in this I suppose Durban will be best where 50% of the crowd will probably be Indian.
 
lol never supported Australians and the Saffers before but now i am supporting them more than ever lol
Reasons:
Ashes> so i can take the mick out of gorays at work ahahhah
Saffers> coz as usual they r playing against indians
 
lol..so the overated ones fail again? maybe we didnt do too badly against this saffer team afterall?
raina?? lol..overated...always believed he's overated!!
 
Super stuff by SA so far this morning. I did say yesturday that I expected 3-4 wickets this morning and that is exactly what has happened
 
Tondulkar no good when chip is down he flat as a pancake........so much for 50 centuries and more useless.

well in 98 Aaeed Anwar scored a 118 on this so called "green bamba" just goes to show what a great bats man he was.
 
SRT and Dhoni taking the fight to SA - if they can get India a lead - who knows what may happen
 
Harna to hai hi ...now they should play like T20 ...mazaa aaega ....lolz @ my 73 inch LED TV ...seeing only Indian wkts falling here ....
:)
 
Kallis scored 200 for the 1st time in his career here .....SRT should get motivated by that and score his 1st triple ton .....haha...:D
 
Match over yes.but 81,62,43,50 not out-top 4 batsman scores gives something positive.Bring on the mamba at durban .the King Cobra is coming lol.
 
Raina ko Test se sanyas le lena chahiye ....

Next test :
Pujara for Raina
Zaheer for Unadkat (Unadkat mere dost thoda aur seekh kar aao)
