he derserved that

 

[Batman]

Philander getting smashed in this over!

 

[IndianWillow]

Rahane on the move, make as many quick runs as possible.

 

[proteyeah]

Hard luck Rahane. Deserved the 100.

 

[Mr Consistent]

lead 57 now

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Yes!

 

[MarkCooper]

What a strange country South Africa is. The best team by miles, perfect weather, cheap tickets, and they are playing a prestigious game in an empty stadium for 5 days.

 

[razabbas]

Anyways well played Rahane really wanted him to score century

 

[Sandeep]

96.. Laxman, Vijay, Rahane..

 

[Batman]

Rehane on 96* now!

 

[akamaka]

unlucky rahane , great innings, deserved a 100

 

[Nuekboi]

A disappointing end to a truly masterclass innings from Rahane

 

[imshally81]

yesssssssssssssssssssss

 

[IndianWillow]

What an innings this has been by Rahane - at least one more batsman had to give him company and nobody did.

 

[Batman]

And Rehane gone for 96

223 All out!

 

[proteyeah]

Kallis to open ?

 

[Jabo]

Interesting celebration by Philander, it's a shame that Rahane couldn't get that 100.

 

[Batman]

Philander have the last laugh

 

[Red Devil]

Bowled! Rahane misses out on a Hundred.

 

[Mr Consistent]

badluck rahane , top innings, deserved 100

 

[razabbas]

Murali vijay 94
Kohli 96
Rajane 96

Indian youngsters are here to stay for a long time

Yeah Durban never has been great for test turn outs. Bunch of beach bums over there. JHB was understandable as I live here and it's ghost town over December. Everyone goes to the coast for the holidays. Still I am surprised not more people were there today. Cricket is by no means a dying game here and test cricket has a massive following.

Should have been played in Cape Town.

 

[akheR]

Wanted

to get a 10fer and Rahane deserved his ton too.

 

[Nuekboi]

Rahane deserves to bat higher up!

 

[style_guru]

People celebrating Rahane's fall? I mean come on. If anything, the guy should be lauded for his effort.

 

[Batman]

So SA need 58 runs to win and series too

 

[Nuekboi]

Anyone know the song that they play after the innings break or innings is over? Like the one just playing now

 

[Saurav]

awesome knock Rahane

 

[Sandeep]

Anyone know the song that they play after the innings break or innings is over? Like the one just playing now

Some Afrikaans music, no idea what it is..

 

[Convict]

Don't worry. Saffers might play for the draw.

Can't risk a loss

 

[proteyeah]

Nice touch by Smith there.

 

[proteyeah]

Don't worry. Saffers might play for the draw.

Can't risk a loss

Ha ha. Touche.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

What a shame. Rahane doesn't get ton. Nor does dale get a 10fer

 

[Sandeep]

I'm not convinced. Rahane should have stried to rotate strike and scored few more for India to defend.. Shami is not all that bad! Anyway..

 

[style_guru]

Any chance of rain?

 

[MarkCooper]

That trundler Philander keeps taking wickets how come he hasn't been found out yet bowling 77mph.

 

[test_fan]

If it was 100+ SA might have opted for a draw, now it's too easy.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Nice touch by Smith there.

Maybe he was recommending the local shrink?

 

[Convict]

That trundler Philander keeps taking wickets how come he hasn't been found out yet bowling 77mph.

The same way Terry Alderman used to eat your batsmen for breakfast.

 

[IndianWillow]

If it was 100+ SA might have opted for a draw, now it's too easy.

India had to bat a little past tea to be sure of draw.

 

[saj786]

That trundler Philander keeps taking wickets how come he hasn't been found out yet bowling 77mph.

Il have this trundler to Anderson anyday

 

[Aman]

Putting my money on the draw now

 

[Nikhil_cric]

That trundler Philander keeps taking wickets how come he hasn't been found out yet bowling 77mph.

There's no mystery to his bowling to figure out

 

[Mr Consistent]

:4 to smith

 

[Mr Consistent]

Crowd attendance today at Kingsmead is 7258 very very low

 

[test_fan]

India had to bat a little past tea to be sure of draw.

Dhoni and Jadeja screwed it up by getting out to a nobody like Peterson. India needed to bat out 15-20 overs more which was not a very difficult task given that Zaheer batted for 15 overs.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Nice 4

 

[Mr Consistent]

shot and :4 50 more

 

[imshally81]

Only 50 Runs Required in 43 overs......

 

[London_Lahori]

Well played Rahane and congratulations SA!

 

[Batman]

[Batman]

SA need 50 more runs to win.

 

[Ims1]

[Batman]

[Batman]

[Jo_Don]

That trundler Philander keeps taking wickets how come he hasn't been found out yet bowling 77mph.

That's still quicker than the great Jimmeh is going at in the Ashes

 

[Batman]

SA need 39 more runs to win.

 

[Batman]

Tea - Day 5.

 

[Jo_Don]

Crowd attendance today at Kingsmead is 7258 very very low

The capacity is only 13000 so that's over half full.

 

[imshally81]

T

 

[Batman]

Very good session again for SA really put thing in control from the word go.

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Wonder what would have happened at the Wanderers if Robbie Peterson was at the crease? He could have some boundaries of these Indian trundlers.
