Saf might declare at around 425 in there are too many interruptions on day 4 due to rain.
 
No new ball taken means India is defensive and also shows how much confidence in pace bowlers...
Honestly, Bhuvan, Shammi, Jadeja, Ashwin should have been our bowling unit (not that they are perfect & dangerous, just that they would do better than others). Yadav should have been our 5th bowler needed (if at all Indian Management wants to be aggressive winning Test Matches). The 6th batsman (Rahane) did no wonder in this match as compared to what a 5th bowler could have done. Rather we could have dropped Rohit
 
Bhuvan at least could have picked wickets with new ball. Ishanth & Zaheer have past their prime.
Bhuvan and Shammi should bowl together for India for a while (at least in Test Matches). Too many changes in combination won't do good.
 
When you deploy two part timers when the new ball is available, it shows you the real state of the bowling of a team :facepalm:
 
Jadeja has bowled beautifully defying all the critics! Way better than Ashwin who has been pedestrian overseas
 
Don't think so. South Africa clearly want to bat only once. They may declare the innings by 4th day tea..

With a lead of how much?

I don't think SA will have more than 200 by Tea on Day 4. One more wicket here and SA will go into a shell.

SA needs 350 runs to put pressure on India.
 
Seems like the light will be offered soon.

Surely SA want to stay out there and build their advantage? Time out the game is bad for them.
 
This is getting really boring now. No quick runs, ball isn't doing anything. Game is just really slowing down
 
Is Kallis the seniormost playing cricketer in world cricket?

Good call by Dhoni staying out there, he's read that SA batsman want to go off and he's keeping them out there.
 
what terribly slow batting by RSA, there is good chance of rain tomorrow, this could be a tame draw if it rains tomorrow.
 
Its been ages since I saw a boundary, or see the ball really misbehave
 
Hate to say it but I think Kallis is batting selfishly for his ton

Go take the game to Mr Nohit Sharma and smash him around the park
 
good on Dhoni to have the game continue instead of what Smith did o first day
 
I think SA went too defensive after AB got out. Ball wasn't doing a whole lot and they should have stamped their authority
 
This game is gonna be a draw thanks to pathetic defensive SA batting and toothless Indian bowling
 
Kallis playing for his 100 and Duminy is playing for a 50.

This is boring.

Taking only 18 runs from Rohit's 9 overs is terrible.
 
Honestly a poor innings by Kallis in terms of the time he's taken to acquire it. No need to bat that slowly at just 4 down

Most likely. A drawn series would be a better than expected show by India, who lost to England at their home turf.

I hope SA lose their No. 1 status if this is how much intent they have to win
 
FINALLY! Something happens in this match. JP helpless with the willow as usual
 
And now Duminy is gone.

This is bound to happen. Jaddu will produce a great delivery and gone.

Will SA become even more defensive now?
