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

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Now the pitch is not flat? Lol.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

I think Proteas must declare at tea

 

[Mr Consistent]

ZK comes

 

[IndianWillow]

If SA can play this freely all of the sudden, what makes you think India can't do that?

I feel SA started moving on a bit too late.

There are no Sharmas to gift runs in SA, and there are Steyns to stifle the batsmen.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Zaheer barely touching 80 mph

 

[Mr Consistent]

:4 by robbile to ZK

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Awesome Peterson! Awesome 50.

 

[Nuekboi]

I would consider Robbie a good allrounder if he learned to bowl well too...

 

[Mr Consistent]

fifty for robbie

 

[Nikhil_cric]

50 for Sobers. SA will declare after he has got his ton probably

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Need to get a lead of 200.

 

[prayas]

Session run rate 7.03

 

[Sherlock]

Peterson 53* off 46

 

[Lara400]

50 for the gangsta

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

South Africa shouldn't declare before taking a lead of 200.

 

[Electron]

Trundling Khan thinks that he will intimidate batsmen in fading lights )
Zaheer is done.

 

[Mr Consistent]

ZK moves to 95 5 away from ton

 

[Lara400]

Smith is probably thinking its too good to stop for now

 

[Batman]

Wow Peterson race to his 50! Well played!

 

[Nuekboi]

Aggression from SA should have come a session earlier. They could easily be 500 right now

 

[Batman]

7/480.

8 off the over!

 

[Lara400]

Terrible bowling tbh

 

[Batman]

SA lead by 146 runs.

 

[Mr Consistent]

:4 by faf

 

[Mr Consistent]

lead 150 now

 

[Mr Consistent]

100 for shami

 

[Nuekboi]

EZ pickings lead 150 now. Probably looking to declare at 200+

 

[Batman]

India worst bowling at best is on

 

[Batman]

:4 by Faf

7/484.

 

[Electron]

Beautiful drizzle there <3

 

[Nuekboi]

India cannot win from this point on

 

[Lara400]

Awful delivery deserved FOUR

 

[Batman]

7/487.

7 off the over!

 

[Mr Consistent]

sharma time now

 

[Nuekboi]

Rohit Sharma. Dhoni desperate

 

[Haroon786]

Epic phainty getting dished out.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

What a six!

 

[IndianWillow]

The third on the first test - India scored 175 in the last session against a better bowling line up. Don't be surprised at SA run rate, actually they should have pressed the pedal a bit earlier.

 

[Haroon786]

Switch hit.

:6.

By Peterson.

 

[Nuekboi]

Rohit beating him #whatabowler

 

[Mr Consistent]

switch hit :6

 

[Mr Consistent]

what a shot

 

[Nuekboi]

Kevin Pietersen would be proud

 

[Batman]

6 away from 500!

 

[MarkCooper]

Switch Hit

 

[Batman]

:6 by Peterson

7/494.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

What a six by Robin Sobers!

 

[Mr Consistent]

100 partnership between them

 

[Electron]

Bowlers can't bowl, Dhoni can't keep, fielders can't field... wowww...

 

[Lara400]

OMG What a shot

 

[Batman]

Switch hit six by Peterson!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Run rate 3.22

 

[Batman]

3 byes to end the over!

 

[Nuekboi]

Want more Pietersen from Peterson

 

[Haroon786]

.

What an innings.

 

[Batman]

7/497.

10 off the over!

 

[Mr Consistent]

what a inning finally out take a

 

[Nuekboi]

Robbie dies to the sword a bit later than he should have

 

[Lara400]

Clumsy

 

[Haroon786]

Hope there is more play, play being stopped due to rain.

 

[Batman]

And now, Peterson gone for well played 61! Shami strikes!

8/497.

 

[Mr Consistent]

now phaliender show slog and du plesis also

 

[Nuekboi]

With rain SA should look to bat till end of day if weather allows and the declare at the beginning tomorrow

 

[amax]

del

 

[Electron]

Indian players look so happy with the drizzle. I hope it clears out and these besharam smiles disappear soon.

 

[Batman]

And now another delay the players coming off!

 

[Mr Consistent]

rain again

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Robin Sobers out! Viv Philander in next

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

When india bats well its a flat pitch. And when south africa bats well its good batting. Lol.

 

[IAJ]

154.1

Mohammed Shami to Peterson, OUT, 120 kph, length ball, in the slot to slam over the top, Peterson needs no second invitation, but he's not connected well. It went straight up in the air, comes off rather high on the bat and Vijay runs around from mid-off to pick up a decent catch.


RJ Peterson c Vijay b Mohammed Shami 61 (88m 52b 9x4 1x6) SR: 117.30


Wasn't it Zaheer bowling?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Indian players look so happy with the drizzle. I hope it clears out and these besharam smiles disappear soon.

Cowardly attitude. Hope the rain stops soon.

 

[IAJ]

When india bats well its a flat pitch. And when south africa bats well its good batting. Lol.

Or Indian bowlers are poor...

 

[lilFlip]

This rain is a blessing for Indian bowlers.

Game is a draw now unless a highly unlikely Indian collapse

 

[IndianWillow]

When india bats well its a flat pitch. And when south africa bats well its good batting. Lol.

And also goes along with innumerable stabs at the Indian bowling. Double standards at best.

 

[Scrolln]

This rain is a blessing for Indian bowlers.

Game is a draw now unless a highly unlikely Indian collapse

Most likely a drab draw.

#ThankYouKallis

 

[OZGOD]

I would declare now. Back your bowlers. You want the Indian batsmen taking risks.

 

[Electron]

Most likely a drab draw.

#ThankYouKallis

haha.. true..

 

[Abhilash]

Heading towards a draw!!

 

[Ims1]

163 ahead . would be foolish to bat on from here imo .

 

[OZGOD]

On another note, now we know why Dhoni didn't want to take the new ball
