South Africa v India | 2nd Test | Durban | Day 5 | 30/12/2013

[Aman]

Can India's young guns hold on to save the Test or will the SA bowlers run rampant to take the series?

 

[Sandeep]

First session is the key.. Will let us know where the game is heading.

 

[Abhilash]

One final battle against SA bowlers.. common India

 

[Sunny786]

I expect Kohli and Pujara to score another hundred

 

[Scrolln]

Fifties from Pujara and Kohli will be enough to save the test.

 

[Saeed]

A hat trick here will spice up the things.

 

[Xoib]

four an over get a lead of 180 and then put pressure on SA in the last 30 overs with men around the bat.Possible?

 

[Sandeep]

Bad luck Kohli!

 

[Saeed]

They won't dare to do that. They will probably try to play as many as dots as they can and call it a day.

 

[Snow]

Haha DRS is going to cost India a series.

 

[battler]

Kohli sawn off by the umpire
12 men playing for south africa

 

[Xoib]

Bad luck Kohli!

can happen withour DRS.

 

[GenericBrand]

lmao

 

[Sandeep]

India is destined to lose this match.. Lets concede and move on. Salute to a great career..

 

[Anuj25]

India needs to understand DRS will not make the game error but it reduces the error rate no way Kohli is out if there was a DRS.

 

[Anuj25]

This match might change BCICI stand.
But then again alviro Peterson was stumped and was misjudged not out by the third umpire himself

[Saeed]

Why kohli didn't call for DRS?

 

[cricketjoshila]

Pathetic umpiring.First Peterson given not out now Kohli goes Shoulder behind wicket.

Not without a fight man,not without a fight.
If this attitude is adopted by the indian team,we will never reach far.

 

[battler]

Nice trolling!

last game Kalllis got a rough one at a crucial time it happens.

You have only BCCI to blame. Both of those would have easily been reversed if DRS was in play

 

[cricketjoshila]

Which one?

 

[Nuekboi]

How long will Nohit last?

 

[cricketjoshila]

No DRS is no excuse for poor umpiring.

 

[Xoib]

Which one?

2nd innings.

 

[Sandeep]

Which one?

Kallis was not out last match.. Inside edged and given lbw..

But one thing's assured, we'll not see any thread about Kohli's dismissal now. He's an Indian right!

 

[Nuekboi]

Which one?

2nd innings. Kallis was batting beautifully, given out lbw, big inside edge

 

[Xoib]

No DRS is no excuse for poor umpiring.

umpires are human not error free hence the shift towards technology ofcourse technology is not error free too but it does reduce the error rate.

 

[RamLakhan]

Rohit Sharma did not get out for 0

 

[Sandeep]

Peach! Unplayable!!

 

[battler]

Pujara is gone!
Congrats sa on ur victory!

 

[Saeed]

Styen on fire.

 

[RamLakhan]

Match is finished and hence series

 

[Nuekboi]

Steyn's on FAYAAAAA

 

[Scrolln]

Dale steyynnnnn! :d

 

[GenericBrand]

Steyn is back guys.

 

[Xoib]

how do you play this Pujara tends to get a lo tof unplayable stuff from Steyn.

 

[battler]

There is no way we are surviving this unless it pours cats and dogs!

 

[Sandeep]

It is quite a sight to watch Steyn bowl those, even if you're the opposition! Champion stuff!!!

 

[Anuj25]

That's was a great delivery

Stage is set for Rohit Sharma's 200 and Jadeja's 300 (please rain and bad light don't disturb them )

 

[Ims1]

the ship just sank

Bwahahahahahahahaha !

 

[Ims1]

to Pujara's misfortune,it was a great delivery .

 

[battler]

Rohit is edging every ball lol

 

[proteyeah]

why kohli didn't call for drs?

bwahahahahahahaha !

 

[Sandeep]

I remembered this!

 

[Saeed]

Rohit is going to sky the ball or edge it.

 

[proteyeah]

No DRS is no excuse for poor umpiring.

The rest of the world acknowledges umpires are human and make poor decisions. Hence why we all approve of DRS. Maybe India will slowly learn a lesson when umpire bias doesn't go in the favour as they had planned.

 

[jattafridi]

Rohit and Rahane very good players easy draw

 

[IndianWillow]

Kohli is not the type of play a long defensive innings, either expected a quick 50 or 100 from him or an early exit. But thought Pujara would last at least till lunch.

 

[Xoib]

feel for India this is nigh on unplayable stuff from Steyn.

 

[Sunny786]

Bwahahahahahahahaha !

profound logic . Are you sure you are a S African ?


We need to see of this session with loss of just 1 more wicket .

 

[proteyeah]

Oh please ! This pitch is flat and Steyn is getting none of his usual swing. India are just bottling it.

 

[Sandeep]

Sharma's chance to do a Laxman.. Can he? )

 

[proteyeah]

The BCCI doesn't make any decision unless they think it will benefit India. They didn't foresee something like integrity getting in the way of their plans. Umpires being willing to call it as they see it and not worry about IPL gigs. After all how could they ?

A person can't perceive of a concept they have never themselves experienced.

 

[battler]

Sharma's chance to do a Laxman.. Can he? )

Lol look at his technique!!
Do u think he can?!!

 

[Sandeep]

I rate him highly. But the odds are heavily stacked against us! One more wicket and we're into tail.. So, no..

 

[proteyeah]

Dhoni to come, ball is getting old and the pitch is flat. India aren't out of this yet.

 

[IndianWillow]

The least Nohit can do try to do here is to last a hundred balls.

 

[Ims1]

Would things be different if MSD had taken the new ball at 299/5 ?

 

[imshally81]

Only Rain can safe here....

 

[as-95]

Easy draw for India. We've all heard about Rohit v2.0. Steyn and co are getting nervous even looking at the legendary Sharma standing at the crease.

 

[Nuekboi]

Steyn: "I've got more runs than you this series" XD

 

[proteyeah]

Steyn letting him know he's got more runs than him this series. Ha ha. Nasty.

 

[sticky_wkt]

Steyn having a few words with Rohit - "I have more runs than you in this series!

 

[Nuekboi]

Dhoni to come, ball is getting old and the pitch is flat. India aren't out of this yet.

Dhoni is just a shadow of the batsman he is in ODIs, and he isn't the long innings kind of guy

 

[IndianWillow]

Would things be different if MSD had taken the new ball at 299/5 ?

You can only guess. At least now India has to survive four sessions. So Dhoni's ploy worked. Now if we can't last four sessions then no other strategy would have clicked anyway.

 

[Sandeep]

Very nasty chatter from Saffers.. These are kids

 

[battler]

Rahane and rohit have to do a faf and ab here!

 

[proteyeah]

Very nasty chatter from Saffers.. These are kids

Yes, but they should not be talking back if they can't take it. A few runs on flat Indian wickets doesn't give you the right to be cocky to the world's number one for 4 years.

 

[Sandeep]

Rahane and rohit have to do a faf and ab here!

Faf and AB had Zaheer and Ishant. We have Steyn and Morkel )

 

[battler]

Very nasty chatter from Saffers.. These are kids

Have to learn the hard way in this big bad world!

 

[Scrolln]

LOL at people hinting we should've taken the new ball.

Its the bowlers guys, not the ball.

 

[battler]

Rohit is getting worked up here,he needs to calm down!

 

[Sandeep]

Yes, but they should not be talking back if they can't take it. A few runs on flat Indian wickets doesn't give you the right to be cocky to the world's number one for 4 years.

What are you on about? First up, I was sarcastic. Then, you ask them not to give it back? What's the fun in bullying a weak one?
