Lol @ all the Indians gettting punky now. Even if saffers don't get a lead we'll still cruise this game. Lighting doesn't strike twice.

if we dont concede a lead here , there is no way SA is winning this
 
nah , I have always maintained this .

The term is very loosely used for subcontinental batsmen . Ozs bowled out for 97 yesterday & have struggled every time on helpful conditions , so has Eng and SA ..do you see any one calling them ftbs ? double standards isnt it ?

Good point. Same lines if runs scored on subcontinent pitches is discounted due to helpful conditions, why aren't wickets bowlers get in bowler friendly tracks...
 
S.A 74/4 - Advantage India here and i think if either team gets a lead of 50 runs or more here it could be match winning!
 
I'm going to be a little adventurous here and predict that Bhajji will end up with the most wickets by the end of the day!

That is different man.Even made a separate thread on that.Totally agree with wrong ftb generalization.

Yes. This just goes on to prove that Stain is a green track bully and he needed all that help from overheard conditions, The pitch and the all important toss to get wickets. South africans were plain lucky to win in first test. It was just fluke they won the toss and half the battle was won. Same again in 2nd test. As usual Kallis threw his wicket away when the going got tough.

There is no such thing as FTB. All batsman get the same conditions when they are playing on a flat pitch and there is no cloud cover. More talented ones make it count. Unless ofcourse conditions change like they did on 1st test. South Africa got first use of the helpful wicket that was juiced up by rain under the most helpful of the conditions. Stain absolute green track bully. I have seen him almost in tears when wicket is not helpful and he is being pulverised.
 
Indian fans are forgetting that their menace Hashim Amla is still at the crease.
 
Might be stating obvious but indeed Amla is the key Here

88/4

Ok, I'll bite. Even though Steyn has gotten wickets everywhere he has bowled I will admit his figures are inflated by playing in S.A. Will you admit that the Indian Batsmen figures are inflated by playing in India ? And that Tendulkar , Dravid and Laxman etc are really average players ? And Kallis is the real legend ?

Like the 10 wickets hge got against India in India recently ? He must have been crying from laughter.
 
After every ball of Zaheer 's over, the Indian slip cordon, "well bowled Jaheer Bhai"

hmm most of us admit Steyn is pure class , so are Kallis , Darvid , Tendulkar and laxman ...all we expect is a bit of consistency from you .
 
SA need to attack themselves out of trouble here. Blocking won't help as the preassure will increase.
 
Poor SA - dont know whats hit them (and where!)
 
Finally some competitive cricket !

What can Boucher do with the tail here ? One of his famous counter attacks ?
 
WEll India's last 4 fell for 12 this morning. Can the Saffer bowlers do better ?
 
Turning out to be a good test match this. How much fight can the South African tail put up now?
 
Ha ha.South africa hit 600 from here.India bundled out for 100 in 2nd innings.I follow you .

Pls note that only ICC grade 1 qualified jinx holders are allowed to issue Jinxes - others following this route may see their wish come true.
 
lol...it's the block shot they keep getting out to. Have a hack like I said.
 
Come on tail. Shut these over rated bunch of nobodies up and knock a 20 or 30 extra runs here.
 
Have to say I'm quite shocked by this performance. Although maybe India shouldn't get too excited yet - a morkel 50 and boucher 100 coming up?

+1. Little help for the Indian bowlers and they are falling apart like 10 pins.

They had every thing in their favour in first game. Won 2 all important toss. Favourable overhead conditions. helpful pitch. Most importantly no zahir khan. Then they batted conditions and pitch changed completely. Lol. who are FTBs now..

Even if not , 100 behind isn't really dramatic. India will be 200 all out and saffer will bash the last 300 easily.

India of course. Ask anyone they will tell you. Except you can't even bully us on flat tracks.

Have a hack Boucher !
 
Yes because your just scored millions of runs. Bunch of over rated FTB.

Subect: Irate South African Supporter
Reason: Team doing badly (batting collapse on home ground)
Diagnosis: Needs to take chill pill and stop lashing out.

Oh I'm perfectly chill. It's not like we're playing a good team. Lucky session sure, but this is test cricket and the best team will win. Which is of course, South Africa.
