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

[purplehaze]

230 ? Declare ? Have you seen their attack ? They have this 128kmp guy called Zaheer Khan as their "spear head."

More than confidence in India's bowling, it's the (lack of) confidence in SA batting that's making me say so. You can't rely on Amla and Kallis to win every match.

Lead already 240, Dhoni should & must stop getting greedy here.

 

[dinakar]

Ripping contest this game. Could go either way.

only if Sreesanth and Ishanth can support Zaheer. if they throwing garbage from the other end, it's all over today itself

 

[purplehaze]

Since past few overs Laxman is consistently taking a single in last few balls of overs. Sachin seriously got to learn from Laxman on how to play with tailenders.

 

[purplehaze]

Lead 254...

 

[SOSami]

Zaheer really is putting in a matchwinning performance, both with bat and ball.

 

[saffer]

lol..most out lbw ever given not out! Well paid...er I mean "played" India !

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

BCCI wins test match for India

another pathetic decision

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

another LBW not given....great umpiring

 

[saffer]

lol

Well done ! I'm ashamed South Africa has now joined BRIC. Most corrupt nations in the world. Brazil , India , China and we join them ? Shameful.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

2 plumbs in 5 balls NOT GIVEN

BCCI WINS

Cricket loses

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Thats Good decision by Asad. But ZAK already got out..

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

all boards continue to support dictator BCCI....watch the results

 

[James]

Zaheer really is putting in a matchwinning performance, both with bat and ball.

Yep, and Laxman.

I heart Laxman.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Thats Good decision by Asad. But ZAK already got out..

good decision? his bat was no where...ball was clipping thats out

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Yep, and Laxman.

I heart Laxman.

and the umpires

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

good decision? his bat was no where...ball was clipping thats out

Man.. Ball was going out side of Off stump And ZAK played that on his front foot.. Basically its not out.

But he was out On the Appeal of Steyn one over ago..

 

[SOSami]

Yep, and Laxman.

I heart Laxman.

Who said you had to be a gritty blocker to be a successful under pressure?!!

 

[SOSami]

Steyn is well angry. Zaheer probably wishes he had been given out LBW earlier now..

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Man.. Ball was going out side of Off stump And ZAK played that on his front foot.. Basically its not out.

But he was out On the Appeal of Steyn one over ago..

huh...it was hitting top of middle


also it was geniune padding up...his bat was no where close

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

ZAK the Strong guy got up instantly.. But its hurt him for sure.

 

[James]

Who said you had to be a gritty blocker to be a successful under pressure?!!

The screen just said he averages 51 in the second innings. Wowzers.

 

[saffer]

Oh Steyn ! Don't fire Zaheer up ! He might bowl some over 130 !

lol

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

huh...it was hitting top of middle


also it was geniune padding up...his bat was no where close

Buddy,, I am Talking about Appeal of Harris which wasn't Out to me.

But Steyn's Appeal was Out for sure.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

If India Can add another 40 odd runs, SAf Will be under immense Pressure.

 

[nowayout]

Declare it now guys .. 200 is more than enough for SA batting .. They won't be able to cross 100 ..

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

SAf need Both Side Pace attack now.. Spin Will only give some free runs to India..

 

[saffer]

Declare it now guys .. 200 is more than enough for SA batting .. They won't be able to cross 100 ..

Copy and Paste. Against a good team I would agree. But India ?

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Good Fielding by Petersen

 

[nowayout]

Don't know how SA is rated 2nd .. they r on par with aussies.. should be ranked 5-6th .. Can't play spin.. can't play pace ..

 

[Khabri420]

Don't know how SA is rated 2nd .. they r on par with aussies.. should be ranked 5-6th .. Can't play spin.. can't play pace ..

or the lack of it

 

[saffer]

Don't know how SA is rated 2nd .. they r on par with aussies.. should be ranked 5-6th .. Can't play spin.. can't play pace ..

I don't know how you determine that we can't play pace based on us playing India. That's like saying a person can't eat Ice cream because he didn't order it at pizza hut.

The whole world knows it. Even most Indians. There is no way your team is close to number 1. Congratulations. You have a incredibly low quality of life but managed to breed a lot and hence have some power in the world of cricket due to over population. So you secured some bias home games and managed to falsely get a number 1 ranking through basic cheating and manipulation of the system. Typical.

 

[nowayout]

India on the way to get 2-1 series victory ...
We need to improve our first match performance .. else we would have taken the series 3-0

 

[James]

Partnership 48 and counting.

Massive, could have decided the contest.

Test cricket >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everything

 

[saffer]

I'm loving this. Keep it up. Ammunition for me when you lose 3 -0.

 

[saffer]

Lol. No wonder the crowd is small. If you come you might win a trip to India.

When u can't play Indian bowling .. its less said the better abt ur team lolzz
Ur country is the one where racism is still there.. and u guys r no.1 rated in crime ..
It must be really shameful for u to be a part of such a country ..

Nice try. South Africa isn't much better, full of poverty and crappy quality of life thats why you guys keep emigrating and can't even keep your good cricketers in your country.

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

SA will have plenty of time to chase against the Indian Spinners

Huh ? What are you on about ? Have you been listening to some white racist South Africans expats and eating up their propoganda per chance ?

 

[nowayout]

Lol. No wonder the crowd is small. If you come you might win a trip to India.

No thx.. u must be thankful of BCCI tht they agreed to send the team to tht gutter ..

Wipe that froth ...

I've been to India. Trust me South Africa IS MUCH better.

 

[nowayout]

Come on guys .. declare it .. Time to toy with crappy SA batting .. lolzz

 

[nowayout]

I've been to India. Trust me South Africa IS MUCH better.

Yeah its heaven for criminals.. so no doubt u like it ..lolzz

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

Come on guys .. declare it .. Time to toy with crappy SA batting .. lolzz

ok troll....

 

[siimo]

I've been to India. Trust me South Africa IS MUCH better.

I'd rather live in India in poor conditions than south africa where crime is so high you are fearing for your life every day and more women get raped per capita than any other country on earth. They couldn't even keep the kiwi rugby coach safe who got broken into his house and stabbed a few months ago.

 

[saffer]

No thx.. u must be thankful of BCCI tht they agreed to send the team to tht gutter ..

Come on now. We all know India is best described as an over populated gutter. Have some self pride and dignity and don't make yourself look silly.

 

[vedanta]

really hope fer an Indian win so that this F##### saffer could back to his mudhole..

Well I'm middle class. 1 % of violent crime happens to us or to put it in stats 3 per 100 000 people murders. Less than the United states. Shrug.

India on the other hand....they probably can't even keep stats. Sh!t hole.

 

[SOSami]

South Africans falling apart.

 

[SOSami]

SA vs Indian troll war. Now I've seen it all.

 

[saffer]

lol.Ok guys calm down. I'm winding everyone up. Sure India is poor etc but I had a good time there. Let's tone it down and get back to the cricket. I took it too far and I apologise. No need for me to go that far. Sorry.

 

[Animal]

Zak's innings is a bonus. Next up we have Ishant Sharma, a Jason Gillespie in the making. All said, the more we delay the Saffer's innings, the more scruffed up the pitch gets, the more turn Bhajji.

I agree with Whippy. Test Cricket is > everything!

 

[nowayout]

Billion times better than SA where criminals rule the streets .. blacks r beaten just cos they r black .. ur cricketers love to play for england ..
No wonder no one wants to live there and there is no population .. so sad for u

 

[wasim-fan]

Damn!! Why are the chokers feeding these mediocre players ? Laxman is an FTB, don't feed on his legs. They must be on BCCI playroll. Looking at this crap, I get a feeling they had taken money to lose to mediocre Aus at home and somehow draw with hapless England.

net kunstig hulle !!!!

 

[siimo]

India is quite good in terms of violent crime. It is much less than you could ever hope for in South Africa. Thanks to the huge population you are almost never alone and have a few people to help you if you ever get in trouble.

 

[saffer]

Billion times better than SA where criminals rule the streets .. blacks r beaten just cos they r black .. ur cricketers love to play for england ..

Oh dear.

Blacks are beaten because they are black ? The only people beating blacks are other blacks. The zionist propoganda is strong with you .

ps..our per capita earnings way trump India.

 

[nowayout]

ok laxi get ur 100 and declare the inning .. need to win today .. Got some work tomorrow so won't able to watch match .. So get the SA out by today itself ..

 

[saffer]

Shot.

Score is getting away from us now. We'll need some great batting to win this one.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

the power is with Indian cricket....keep the UDRS out to make sure any chance of luck goes their way

 

[purplehaze]

Interesting stat that SA has scored 300+ more than two times in 4th innings in this ground. But both innings were against Australians

 

[Gabru]

@Saffer and other 'race' card holders - There is a fantastic match going on, so please try discussing Cricket then dissing nations and their people. Thanks.

 

[Sherlock]

Stop the racist comment you guys. That's uncalled for. Some idiotic posters here.

 

[wasim-fan]

This is more entertaining than the match tbh.

But really Saffer is not a "saffer", rest assured. Fun troll nonetheless

 

[saffer]

@Saffer and other 'race' card holders - There is a fantastic match going on, so please try discussing Cricket then dissing nations and their people. Thanks.

Sorry but I don't like to be called a racist for no reason other than something that happened 30 years ago and has a complicated context. I'm famously liberal in my country so don't try and pin that ***** onto me.

 

[saffer]

Thanks to Zak for hinting the pitch is now flat. This will give confidence to saffer batters.

lol at umpiring though.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

i think ppl aren't realizing this pitch has gotten much flatter....300+ can easily get chased here

 

[saffer]

i think ppl aren't realizing this pitch has gotten much flatter....300+ can easily get chased here

Especially considering the Indian bowling "attack". Come on India, make the lead 450 so we can break a record against your chump bowling attack.

 

[nowayout]

Even on the flattest of tracks SA can't chase 200, let alone 300 .. They r known chokers .. Match is in our pocket ..

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

Whoa,i think this Saffer war and Indian fans war has gone a little too far

So please guys stop with the racist comments

On topic though i think Ind will need a 550 run lead

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

There are a lot of Indian "Newcomers" popping up in this thread from noo where lol

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Honorable VVS Laxman The Indian Central Relief Minister..

 

[QazzarFan]

What a cricket match! We should thank the person in charge of the pitch.... This is what Test cricket is all about

I much rather see this than one side scoring 600 n other scoring 400

What a player VVS.... this guy deserves standing ovation...if Indians can get a lead of 350.....it will be super difficult for Saffies to come back in this test match. They got extremely lucky in the 1st test match w/ that rain changing the pitch condition and Zaheer missing from the Indian line up

 

[Romali_rotti]

There are a lot of Indian "Newcomers" popping up in this thread from noo where lol

And you must be an old veteran...

 

[Romali_rotti]

Wonder if he really is a Lankan.

I reckon he is, he's gat that I live in my own world mentality, afterall a lot of Lankans think they are Aryans )

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

And you must be an old veteran...

Didnt say i was a veteran,just saying a lot of people with only 30 posts are popping up.

Did i say anything to upset you?

 

[saffer]

Why no referal system ? This partnership would be over ages ago. In fact 2 wickets would be down. Why are Indians so addicted to cheating ? I mean is there another wya to explain why you wouldn't want the umpuiring to be as accurate as possible ?

 

[Romali_rotti]

Didnt say i was a veteran,just saying a lot of people with only 30 posts are popping up.

Did i say anything to upset you?

It seems you are the one who is upset with that long justification ....

 

[jusarrived]

losing hope , start with the excuses

 

[Impala_KaifTamasha]

It seems you are the one who is upset with that long justification ....

Dont try and wind me up

Anyways on a serious note Ind should win the game from here. But then again Test Cricket the best form of the game can change. Also SA have plenty of time to bat.
