South Africa v India | 2nd Test | Durban | Day 3 | 28/12/2013

[Khabri420]

South Africa have gotten into a fairly commanding position and have scored aggressively ending Day 2 at 82/0.

What does Day 3 have in store for us? Discuss!

 

[Sandeep]

The deciding day! Shami and Jadeja going to be the key for us. Hopefully we can restrict them to under 350..

Yep if these two don't turn up today we are in trouble.
In 10 overs or so the ball should start reversing,so we should keep it tight till then.

We are out of this match .Only 2 possibilities now - saf win or draw .

I can understand the disappointment, but we do have a chance if we bowl well.. But alas, we don't have any Steyns or Morkels in our ranks!

 

[Sidcricfan]

We need to improve our lines big time today. Zaheer needs to get his bunny Smith ASAP. I get the feeling Jaddu may just produce a magic ball to dismiss Amla and start the collapse.

 

[IndianWillow]

If Jadeja can bowl the way he did in his first two overs, then he will get wickets. Unlike the Wanderers, this pitch assists spin and playing the fourth innings can be difficult. If India can set a decent fourth innings target (min 200), that is. India must restrict SA to 400, else they have no chance.

 

[battler]

They should start with sir!

 

[battler]

South Africa have taken an aggresive approach here!
They're definetly looking for a result.

 

[battler]

Stumping not given.
Unfair call.looked out!

 

[OZGOD]

Yarps only looking to bat once I reckon

 

[Snow]

Third Umpire what a cheat!

 

[battler]

Third Umpire what a cheat!

Patriotic umpiring

 

[Anuj25]

Terrible decision. If that was been done to India, everyone would have said BCCI conspiracy and all

 

[Romali_rotti]

lol was the 3rd Umpire South African ? .. That was as OUT as you can be......

 

[prayas]

If the same mistake done during indian inning in india?
Then people will called its bcci fault they choose those umpire who can hear them

 

[style_guru]

Brilliant start from SA I would say. Indian bowling is as poor as a person sleeping with no clothes on the streets on a frozen night #Siddhuism

 

[arehaan]

India will dearly miss another spinner on this track

When umpires cheat you can't blame the bowler

 

[Snow]

Smith Choked! Hahaha What was that?

 

[battler]

Jaddu strikes yes yes yes!

 

[Romali_rotti]

Elephant legs gone but it should've been 2 down by now.. Petersen there thanks to his home patriotic umpire...

 

[battler]

Saffers should have been 2 down by now!

 

[Nuekboi]

Sir Jaddu bringing on the magic

 

[Nuekboi]

Yes he deserves that

 

[IndianWillow]

dream start for india

 

[Electron]

Jadeja without a doubt is our best spinner. Things could have been different in 1st test had he played.

 

[IndianWillow]

Shami's bunny

Amla the new ftb in town - Cullinan

 

[Romali_rotti]

We need to break this one or would be trouble for India..

 

[Aman]

Amla the new ftb in town - Cullinan

Poor post, must say. At least Cullinans comment on Dhawan has some basis, Amla is a world class batsmen who has scored all around the world.

 

[prayas]

This and next

 

[prayas]

Should stop this easy runs

 

[battler]

C'mon boys AB before lunch!

I really hope SA win this... Kallis deserves this much.

 

[Romali_rotti]

need to break this partnership, they looking solid ...........

 

[battler]

I really hope SA win this... Kallis deserves this much.

Not at the cost of a series win for us

 

[Electron]

Good stuff from Jadeja.. He is making them step out to score anything.

 

[prayas]

Shami should stop now atleast for next 15-20 min

 

[battler]

They are coming out of the pitch and attacking jadz,he should dart it in to the leg side.

 

[majiz]

330 looking like plenty. Ball spinning


I think India will win this game, another doomed prediction of mine

 

[battler]

Zak into the attack.
Hope he doesn't trundle¡
