South Africa v India | 2nd Test | Durban | 26-30 Dec 2010

I love test cricket. But against India it's so boring. It's just too easy.

All these hyped up flat track bully batsmen always crumble against our bowlers. Then these pie chuckers come and we bash them around the park. YAAAAAWWWNNN. I mean Sreesanth and Sharma would struggle to make a South African school team as bowlers.

Give us proper opposition please. Frankly I feel we have played bterribly just because they have gotten 200. Number 1 side in the world ? Please ! Maybe South Africa aren't the best team in the world either but India certainly aren't.

Looks about right today.
 
Not one fifty in the innings. Yet most batters got to 20. Pitch might not be as bad as it seems. We need to look at the shots the batters played I think. But as they say you never know until both teams have batted.

Over rated Steyn gets another 6 wickets. Gosh, he sure manages to be "over rated" consistantly.

Well where would England be without their South Africans ? Just emphasises the point. It's in the water.

Aye.

Trott and Pietersen average 110 between them in test cricket, you missed out there.
 
Below par score for me. If India keep them down to 300, they may fight back in the second innings.

They wouldn't make the South African team. Certainly not Trott anyway. He couldn't even make provincial cricket here. Hostorical fact.
 
Not good enough from India.

I suspect SA will get a hefty lead after their turn finishes. The pitch is tamer than yesterday.
 
Players improve.

I don't believe you have access to any batsmen averaging 64 in test cricket.
 
lol I thought the match hasnt started yet, just checked the scorecard. What in the devil? :O

Trott is lame.

He only scores runs on the flat pitches of Australia and England.

I'll only appreciate him when he scores in Lahore. Now those are real pitches! :D

I dispute that. Sri Lanka are a team that is good at home and a minnow away. Yes we are rubbish but at least we can compete away from home.

Another beating coming for India hopefully. If the Saffers can take this 3-nil they become undisputed number 1 I think.
 
Now no excuses for the Indian bowlers here, the wicket still has a lot in it they have to deliver....

Trott now has a test average of 63. We're happy to develop your batting talent!

He He.

Well let's see what zak can do with the new ball. Steyn and crew got the old one swing do a bit so it won't be easy for the saffers today.

Like I said on post 348, Indian bowlers have no excuses here they wouldnt have seen conditions this good for a few years now...
 
Nicely guided through the slip area there. That's skill !

Seriously though, India should be able to make this less of a thrashing that most predict. Pitch is looking spicy for this type of bowling. (Medium pace swing and nip)

That's probably a better delivery than any Indian bowler managed to produce throughout the whole Centurion test :facepalm:
 
Bowlers do something please. Lol else i have to defend the team on PP till the next away test series which is only in june after the world cup and ipl.

I predict South Africa 350~ all out.

Which is a good score in South Africa. This is not flat track India where any monkey can hit a hundred and boost their average above 50. Cough cough.

In case I'm being too subtle there I'm suggesting the Indian Batsmen are hugely over rated.
 
On the evidence of the last couple weeks dude, India have no chance of beating England in England over four tests.

Agree. Not that England are much good. Just they a lot better than this bunch of jokers.

I think we got one in west indies first.And england,to be honest we have done relatively better there compared to sa where we have been on the backfoot most of the time.But lets see,they are a very confident outfit now.And if we fail there too,that's the final nail in the coffin,as if we can't win with this batting line up i sense a huge disaster when the middle 3 retire from cricket.

Misplaced confidence. Here's the elephant in the room that everyone is thinking but not quite saying to your face. You're team is not very good. Not very good at all.
 
SreeSanth looking very threatening here, threatening to let the SA bats score big that is...

Steyn is the world's best bowler but sorry dude, Anderson has proved all of us wrong and is clearly a bowler of the highest class now - he did well against you in England three years ago, so god knows what he will do to you now.

Swann in English conditions will also be a handful even for Indian batsmen.

And is our top seven really rodding it at the sight of your bowling attack? They dealt with Asif and Amir and are racking up tons for fun in Australia right now, so I think not.
 
South Africa peaking too early, by the time world cup comes they will be out of steam.

Well we only need to go back a few months to test your theory. Remember where in 3 out of 4 tests we ruined you ? Like I said even with our garbage and dregs to bolster your middle order your team isn't worth much.
