South Africa v India | 2nd Test | Durban | Day 2 | 27/12/2013

[Justcrazy]

India need to give jadeja a few overs

 

[leatherface58]

Why do u appear only when SA is doing well and dissapear when they are getting a lashing?

He disappears to look at the stats to comfort himself in tougher times.

 

[soso_killer]

I read that it was due to rain predictions before the test started.

cutting the grass completely does not make sense coz there was. So i dont buy that line of argument. Kingsmead is in Durban. That is the only province in the country that does not have seasonal rain. It rains throught. The moisture and grass cover is suppose to be there

 

[Buffet]

He disappears to look at the stats to comfort himself in tougher times.

Guys, it's normal to feel more cheerful when your team does well.

 

[Sandeep]

Some peaches from Ishant!

 

[mithun_minhas]

Ishant deserves a wicket here.

 

[battler]

He disappears to look at the stats to comfort himself in tougher times.

Yeah philander averaging 18,despite looking tame this innings and not picking a single wicket.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Good start by Sa openers ... IND needs couple of wickets ...

 

[soso_killer]

Why do u appear only when SA is doing well and dissapear when they are getting a lashing?

SA are still trailing boet. And i have life outside cricket

 

[leatherface58]

Guys, it's normal to feel more cheerful when your team does well.

Very much so. But chickening out is the norm too apparently.

 

[Buffet]

Good field placement by Dhoni. He is attacking Smith's strength by putting 3 close leg side fielder. Smith can play few shots on leg side.

 

[battler]

SA are still trailing boet. And i have life outside cricket

Yeah,but u seem to have a life outside cricket only when SA are doing poorly and not the other way round,wonder why?

 

[soso_killer]

Smith being bogged down here.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They haven't scored off Ishant yet.

 

[Buffet]

Smith being bogged down here.

Indians are bowling at wickets and have 3 close leg side so he has to be bit careful.

 

[soso_killer]

Yeah,but u seem to have a life outside cricket only when SA are doing poorly and not the other way round,wonder why?

ever since i've been relocated SA have lost 1 test and won 1. Did not post much either. Too bad i have to apologize for posting at every chance i've got here on PP

 

[soso_killer]

Indians are bowling at wickets and have 3 close leg side so he has to be bit careful.

thats very bold as he is very strong in that area. It seems to be working so far so kudos

 

[soso_killer]

Wow at Jadeja's average

 

[battler]

Jadeja into the attack.
Ideally he should be bowling at Alviro!

 

[siddharth]

SA woke up and starts attacking...

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Wow at Jadeja's average

Home matches against Australia

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Jadeja into the attack.
Ideally he should be bowling at Alviro!

Yeah was thinking the same.

 

[soso_killer]

Turn!! Its only the 11th over. This will be key

 

[Buffet]

Smith is wasting time here. I guess one more over and then it's end of the play today.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Common Jaddu

 

[battler]

Smith trying to make this the last over of the day

 

[soso_killer]

Home matches against Australia

yeah but i always thought he was the economical type bowler. That average suggests he is dangerous. And the turn he is extracting on day 2 is concerning as well

 

[mithun_minhas]

Jaddu looking a lot better and already bowling better than what Ashwin did in the entire 1st Test match

 

[soso_killer]

Smith is wasting time here. I guess one more over and then it's end of the play today.

lol thats called experience

 

[Nikhil_cric]

yeah but i always thought he was the economical type bowler. That average suggests he is dangerous. And the turn he is extracting on day 2 is concerning as well

Revs the ball quite a bit. More than Ashwin anyway.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Close of play?

 

[Buffet]

lol thats called experience

Yaah, at times Eng missed that trick against Aus and lost wickets just before a end of session.

 

[Sandeep]

1 more over for Jadeja please!

 

[Mr Consistent]

50 up for sa

 

[mithun_minhas]

Why not get in more overs since the light is still good?

 

[battler]

SA 50/0 at end of days play
284 runs behind with 10 wickets in hand.

Wrong post

 

[Buffet]

Well, we have extra half hour of play here now.

 

[soso_killer]

Its way past 6. Whats the big idea?

 

[mithun_minhas]

Jaddu bowling beautifully

 

[battler]

What we are having more overs??

 

[Mr Consistent]

:4 to sir

 

[mithun_minhas]

Jaddu will be dangerous on this pitch for sure.

 

[Sandeep]

Sir is better than Ashwin

 

[soso_killer]

Lol and Petersen clobbers a 6 to negate magnificent bowling by Jadeja

 

[Buffet]

Its way past 6. Whats the big idea?

Extra half hour or 9 overs whichever comes first.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Lol and Petersen clobbers a 6 to negate magnificent bowling by Jadeja

Shot of desperation.

Jaddu will take it.

 

[badhmash_kaka]

great bowling by jadeja..looks much better bowler than ashwyn

 

[battler]

Jadeja already looking more dangerous than ashwin did last match!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Turns the ball more than Ashwin on a 5th day pitch. quite accurate too.

 

[mithun_minhas]

India should have picked another spinner.

Huge mistake.

 

[Sandeep]

South Africa doing this well.. No wonder they're number 1

 

[Nikhil_cric]

India should have picked another spinner.

Huge mistake.

Yep. Jadeja in for Sharma was the way to go

 

[battler]

India should have picked another spinner.

Huge mistake.

Should have picked ojha for nohit!

 

[soso_killer]

Extra half hour or 9 overs whichever comes first.

that shadow from the stand is a big concern. It makes zero sense not to call the players off.

 

[Mr Consistent]

57/0

 

[Buffet]

that shadow from the stand is a big concern. It makes zero sense not to call the players off.

Yah, hopefully, these two can see off this day.

 

[soso_killer]

Shot of desperation.

Jaddu will take it.

lol, yeah. Both him and Smith cant buy a run of off Jadeja

 

[mithun_minhas]

Should have picked ojha for nohit!

+1
Ojha and Jaddu would have been great on this pitch.

 

[Mr Consistent]

2 taken

 

[soso_killer]

This is annoying that shadow, i can barely see the ball. What about the poor players, Jadu is turning it square

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Smith scored heavily against Ajmal and Babar in UAE. He generally starts off poorly against every bowler before gaining some fluency

 

[Executioner]

SA bossing this test.

India might actually feel that the rain delay worked in their favour. Blessing from Sir Jaddu

 

[mithun_minhas]

This is annoying that shadow, i can barely see the ball. What about the poor players, Jadu is turning it square

I think you want your batsmen to runaway from Sir Jaddu's magic web.

You can run, but you cannot hide from Sir

 

[Saurav]

Jaddu is bowling well.pacers need to support

 

[soso_killer]

Lol i remember a night-watchman, went by the name of Meryck Pringle.
He hit a 6 of the 1st ball, ended up on 14 of 7 balls at stumps. What was the plan?
Roby P reminded me of him

 

[Mr Consistent]

:4 by perterson

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Need pressure from the other end. Jadeja will simply be played out.

 

[soso_killer]

I think you want your batsmen to runaway from Sir Jaddu's magic web.

You can run, but you cannot hide from Sir

still i'd rather live and die another day

 

[Mr Consistent]

again :4 by petrson

 

[Buffet]

A very solid day for SA so far. This ebbs and flow makes test matches great.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Jadeja will be the key for India tomorrow. He is getting the ball to turn a lot and also bowling good line.

 

[Mr Consistent]

ZK comes

 

[mithun_minhas]

Zak still bowling rubbish.

 

[Saeed]

An amazing day of cricket, you couldn't ask for better.

 

[Mr Consistent]

:4

 

[Ims1]

Saffers test today .

 

[leatherface58]

Excellent stuff from the Saffers. Indians frittered away their advantage.

 

[Mr Consistent]

sa 82/0 stumps day 2

 

[Buffet]

Fantastic day for SA. If SA can bat at 4 an over for the next 90 overs then SA take take a lead of around 100 runs. SA can still win this test match. Give a winning send off to Kallis here.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

82/0. Excellent from SA. They will look to bat as long as they can and as quickly as they can. India under pressure
