South Africa v India | 2nd Test | Durban | Day 4 | 29/12/2013

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Time for Pujara to walk the talk.

 

[Sandeep]

Oh boy! What was that )

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Saffers finally bowling according to their reputation. Excellent stuff.

 

[Ims1]

i just had a bet with my friend that we will not score 200 . Loser buys dinner for 3 .

 

[Buffet]

Ball is swinging. Let's get 2 more wickets today.

 

[Sandeep]

i just had a bet with my friend that we will not score 200 . Loser buys dinner for 3 .

Looks like you'll win the bet by about 50 runs

 

[mithun_minhas]

Vernon staring at batsman as if he is a tear away fast bowler

 

[Batman]

1/9.

 

[Batman]

India trail by 157.

 

[Sam18696]

Vijay gone Big wicket for SA

 

[Ims1]

Looks like you'll win the bet by about 50 runs SIR

fixed . you forgot OUR bet

 

[Sandeep]

Vernon staring at batsman as if he is a tear away fast bowler

The guy's talented, but nowhere near 'threatening'

 

[Buffet]

Now Steyn is getting bounce and swing.

 

[Sandeep]

fixed . you forgot OUR bet

Still remember )

 

[Sandeep]

Great bowling! Loving this.. #sweetchinmusic

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The guy's talented, but nowhere near 'threatening'

That is very deceptive. You don't need to be lightning quick to be threatening.

 

[Buffet]

Fantastic bouncer from Steyn.

 

[shaz619]

Indian resilience will be pivotal in ensuring a draw

 

[shaz619]

Kohli to get a double hundred here

 

[Electron]

There is so much in the pitch now. Our trundlers got nothing out of it.

 

[mithun_minhas]

India has to weather the storm for another 10 overs. When the ball softens, it will be batsman game.

Dhawan as to control his pulling instinct.

 

[Batman]

Good tight bowling by SA.

India under pressure already.

 

[Mr Consistent]

as neutral fan apart from kohli pujra and rahane the new young indian struggles against pace and bounace

 

[Nikhil_cric]

There is so much in the pitch now. Our trundlers got nothing out of it.

That is why

 

[Mr Consistent]

what a ball by vernon

 

[Ims1]

who has bowled better this innings- philly or steyngun ?

 

[Mr Consistent]

dhawan look scared yr plz play your natural game dont go in a shell

 

[Buffet]

If Indians keep blocking then SA will have a great chance because even by the end of last session, Indians won't have many runs( if they last)

 

[mithun_minhas]

There is so much in the pitch now. Our trundlers got nothing out of it.

Its a new ball.

Wait for the ball to be 15 or 20 overs old

 

[Mr Consistent]

dead bowl

 

[shaz619]

Once they have weathered the storm the indians will dominate

 

[Nikhil_cric]

who has bowled better this innings- philly or steyngun ?

Steyn.

 

[Ims1]

Steyn bowling too short to CP & he has no problem dealing with it .

 

[Buffet]

Once they have weathered the storm the indians will dominate

How about Indians losing 2 more before this storm is over

 

[shaz619]

How about Indians losing 2 more before this storm is over

I pray for that but these guys are too good

 

[Ims1]

Once they have weathered the storm the indians will dominate

shaz , are you trying to jinx

we need to not lose more than 2 today if we wish to have a chance in this game.....of drawing it

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Can't believe Dhawan has survived so long.

 

[Buffet]

it's matter of time before Dhawan goes, just keep bowling it close to stump.

 

[leatherface58]

Going nowhere is Dhawan.

 

[Sandeep]

I pray for that but these guys are too good

Put your energy and prayers in something worthwhile brother.. These petty games fetch you nothing!

 

[Mr Consistent]

good work by fielder

 

[mithun_minhas]

Can't believe Dhawan has survived so long.

If Dhawan can survive another 10 overs, he is going to give phainty to all SA bowlers.

 

[Buffet]

I pray for that but these guys are too good

It's only a sports. Just enjoy the battle.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

If Dhawan can survive another 10 overs, he is going to give phainty to all SA bowlers.

_old nazar na laga chacha

 

[Nikhil_cric]

If Dhawan can survive another 10 overs, he is going to give phainty to all SA bowlers.

That's a big if. Let's hope he does survive.

 

[Ims1]

so, who is good at rain dance here ?

10 overs completed . morkel in .

 

[shaz619]

shaz , are you trying to jinx

we need to not lose more than 2 today if we wish to have a chance in this game.....of drawing it

Why would i try and jinx india i have some feelings for you guys, i have a big heart

I am certain india will play well enough into day 5, SA will not have enough time to get all the runs

 

[Mr Consistent]

:4 by dhawan

 

[Buffet]

Dhawan is not having any foot movements here. He is going to nick one.

 

[Sandeep]

I swear to god. I knew you will say something like this. I should have posted it. Damn.

That was pretty lame from him..

 

[RamLakhan]

I hoped Vijay used his ugly sedate innings to save India. He is proved once again his average skills. India needs to continue its search for proper openers in Test Matches (Only Gavaskar is it?) We are only finding good middle order players.

 

[shaz619]

Put your energy and prayers in something worthwhile brother.. These petty games fetch you nothing!

Lol okay, ill pray for kohlis early retirement

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Sehwag?

 

[Sandeep]

Lol okay, ill pray for kohlis early retirement

Haha.. try it, lets see how strong your prayers are )

 

[shaz619]

It's only a sports. Just enjoy the battle.

Yeah, have looked forward to this series for a long time. A shame it is only a 2 test series, oh how much i dislike the BCCI

 

[shaz619]

Haha.. try it, lets see how strong your prayers are )

Dont underestimate the power of a prayer, just ask russel arnold

 

[Ims1]

going to take a shower & will be out for an hour .

Beware , my cousin is around & i should not be held accountable for whatever he posts in next 60 minutes

14/1 & sedate but decent start .i expected 3 wickets in 12 overs .

 

[battler]

I think kohli will score a century here!

 

[battler]

I think sa will win,have a bad feeling

 

[Buffet]

Morkel needs to make Dhawan play more. No point is bowling on 5th stump.

 

[Batman]

1/14.

 

[Batman]

India trail by 152 runs.

 

[Buffet]

Peterson needs to support fast bowlers here.

 

[Batman]

Run rate is 1.07!

 

[London_Lahori]

Dhawan has somehow survived.

 

[London_Lahori]

Tuk tuk epic proportions!

 

[shaz619]

SA lack venom i wana see mitchell johnson aggression

 

[London_Lahori]

I think kohli will score a century here!

I think sa will win,have a bad feeling

Changing your mind minute by minute lol. If Kohli scores a Ton SA won't win

 

[shaz619]

Dhawan batting like a gladiator out there, pujara ul dravid will not be defeated

 

[Batman]

1/16.

2 off Peterson over!

 

[Buffet]

Tuk tuk epic proportions!

Well, SA often loses the venom after ball is 25 overs old so Indians are playing for that I guess.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Run rate doesn't matter now. There are only going to be two results. India can only draw from this situation.

 

[Batman]

Time for Drinks in Durban!

 

[Batman]

So far okay for India but still long way to go!

 

[badhmash_kaka]

what a difference between saffers and indian bowlers.., when Indians bowled pitch looked flat and now it is looking like minefeild

 

[Sandeep]

what a difference between saffers and indian bowlers.., when Indians bowled pitch looked flat and now it is looking like minefeild

That has been the difference in this series..

 

[battler]

Changing your mind minute by minute lol. If Kohli scores a Ton SA won't win

kohli might be the only one to provide resistance,the others might collapse in a heap

 

[London_Lahori]

kohli might be the only one to provide resistance,the others might collapse in a heap

You've got Cheteshwar Don Rahul Pujara in the middle.

 

[mithun_minhas]

what a difference between saffers and indian bowlers.., when Indians bowled pitch looked flat and now it is looking like minefeild

Ball is less than 15 overs old.

SA bowlers bang the deck hard and extracting bounce.

Just wait for another 7-10 overs, ball will hardly carry to the keeper.

 

[Batman]

Runs hard to come by for India!

SA keeping their pressure on!
