South Africa v India | 3rd Test | Cape Town | Jan 2-6 2011

[hussnainn]

Taking a single to get his century and exposing morkel as soon as he came in??

104.6
Sreesanth to Tsotsobe, no run, 131.0 kph, full and outside Tsotso's off stump, he doesn't get in line and fishes as it whizzes past. Half-hearted appeal, rightly turned down

104.5
Sreesanth to Kallis, 1 run, 123.5 kph, well, Sree continues to out-bounce Kallis, who nearly miscues one to Gambhir at midwicket close in. That was not timed at all and popped up to the left of a tumbling Gambhir who could not snaffle it. The single is taken

104.5
Sreesanth to Kallis, 1 wide, 118.4 kph, Sree bangs it even shorter and even wider and the umpire stretches the arms out. He'll have to rebowl that

104.4
Sreesanth to Kallis, no run, 120.6 kph, another delicate bouncer, easily pulled away by Kallis, but this time he finds the fielder. And refuses the single

104.3
Sreesanth to Kallis, no run, 121.0 kph, extra bounce, Sree gets one to rear up meanly as it darts away from off middle and off. Kallis just manages to fend it to the off side

104.2
Sreesanth to Kallis, FOUR, 114.2 kph, gentle bouncer at gentle pace - 116 kph - doesn't trouble Kallis even though there are two men back for the pull. He bisects deep square leg and fine leg for the first boundary of the session

104.1
Sreesanth to Kallis, no run, 118.8 kph, gets the first ball to nip in from outside off as Kallis comes across to play to the offside. It runs off the inside half to the leg side. Kallis takes the top hand off in surprise


This is what m talkin about..

[NJamal]

Great batting by Kallis

 

[cricketindiafan]

350, SA slowly gaining the upper hand in the test now.

 

[Strike!]

Absolute class.

 

[hussnainn]

:

 

[cricket_fever]

Kallis is pure class, just love this buddah!

 

[NJamal]

150 for Kallis

 

[cricket_fever]

tstsobe is good at taking 1 run and handing strike back to kallis

 

[cricketindiafan]

Easy singles being given to Tsotsobe. COmplete lack of aggression from the bowlers and the captain.

 

[cricket_fever]

150 for Kallis

wat do u think about 200 againg ?

 

[NJamal]

Harbhajan wicketless after bowling 25 overs, Whataplayaa

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Loving the way Kallis Turning the table for SA..

 

[NJamal]

wat do u think about 200 againg ?

Would love that

 

[cricketindiafan]

Plenty of turn for Bhajji and yet he cannot get the number 11 out. Wrap it up boys.

 

[NJamal]

Zeera back into attack for trying his spin

 

[Krishnan]

One of your guys needs to get a reasonably sized ton. 350 is a lot on the pitch, but if you can match their total or go past it, you'll be in with more than a sniff. The usual 30s and 40s won't be enough. Maybe it is time for to step up to the plate, he has a strong record at this ground.

Wont happen.sewag is due.i think if he is out everyone will be in draw mindset

 

[ganeshran]

Kallis playing really well. will get to 500 today *jinx post*

 

[Strike!]

123.8 kph

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Harbhajan wicketless after bowling 25 overs, Whataplayaa

[Passion4Pakistan]

whatta Legend..

 

[NJamal]

Zeera is getting good turn from this pitch, but smashed by Kallis

 

[James]

India

Forget everything that exists on paper. When you personally witness things like this is when you doubt them as the no.1 team.

 

[cricketindiafan]

Kallis has been beaten so many times with the ball seaming away. Can't one of these just catch the edge?

 

[ads101]

This is the problem with Inshant and Sreesanth. They put in one spell of world class bowling, and then revert to drivel again. Why can't they just for once bowl consistently good throughout the whole match?

I think India need to drop Inshant for now. Persist with Sreesanth for now, as on song he really is deadly. India need to try out new options, someone better might turn up. There's no harm in experimenting. Sharma has been shown faith and given many opportunities to prove himself, but it unfortunately hasn't worked out. If India do not try out new bowlers, when Zaheer retires, they will be left with an opening bowling pair of Sreesanth and Inshant. Which isn't going to strike fear in any side really.

 

[Noork85]

Wow...kallis has left me speechless.

 

[hasanb]

Kallis has been beaten so many times with the ball seaming away. Can't one of these just catch the edge?

No

However hopefully the ball will start catching the edge when sehwag and tendulkar are out there batting

 

[Noork85]

I thought zaheer was a fast bowler. He bowls at 77 at almost asifs pace, amd i thought asif was medium?

 

[cricketindiafan]

Tsotsobe again gets a single. I think these guys have given up and are waiting for Kallis to make a mistake.

 

[cricketindiafan]

48 runs last wicket partnership. COuld be the real difference between the two sides in this test.

 

[hasanb]

Tsotsobe exposed to Zaheer Khan now

Partnership of 49

 

[cricket_fever]

No

However hopefully the ball will start catching the edge when sehwag and tendulkar are out there batting

we pakistanis are so biased

 

[ganeshran]

Dhoni must try to bring in some other bowler to break this partnership.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Great Support Providing by Tsotsobe..

Vely Tlue..

 

[Romali_rotti]

Meanwhile Kallis now looks set for another 200 lol...

 

[cricketindiafan]

Tsotsobe has shown a lot of fight and common sense here. Well done to him.

 

[Strike!]

The crowd are roaring every time tsosobe plays.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Prediction Tsobe or whatever his name is gonna hit a 50 here..

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

should try to earn some sixes here against Bhaji..

 

[ganeshran]

Well played Tsotsobe, now please get out!!

 

[James]

50 partnership for the final wicket is always a disaster, both in terms of actual scoring, and momentum firmly being behind the team who is about to come out and bowl.

South Africa to win.

 

[MRSN]

that is good fightback by Kallis and Tsotobe

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

[hasanb]

Kallis out!

[Passion4Pakistan]

362 All Out... SA has good enough score to Challenge India..

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Too close to go for a Cut Shot..

 

[ganeshran]

Finally Kallis is out!!

 

[saffer]

50 run partnership for the last wicket ? Lol. Chockers.

 

[jusarrived]

Superb knock, rarely I have seen him play a meaningful innings ..this was one of them .

 

[hussnainn]

Go Steyn Go..

 

[cricket_fever]

AWW kallis!! anyways it would have hurt more if tsotsobe got out, as he would feel let down

but great knock from a great player!!!

kallis rocks!!

hope he does superb with the ball as well.......love this old man!! great player!

 

[NJamal]

362 All Out SA

 

[cricket_fever]

now for some

morkel+steyn magic

and some more from kallis+tsotsobe

 

[ads101]

160 knock by under pressure? Just how powerful is this magic new hair he's got

 

[James]

Superb knock, rarely I have seen him play a meaningful innings ..this was one of them .

This was probably his best since

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/64117.html

Almost identical circumstances, both amazing knocks.

 

[singh]

do not worry guys .. india will score 500+....

 

[NJamal]

Players are on the field

 

[IAJ]

Superb knock, rarely I have seen him play a meaningful innings ..this was one of them .

That puts him right up there with Tendulkar doesn't it?

 

[IAJ]

do not worry guys .. india will score 500+....

Sehwag is the key for Inida.

 

[JellyBro]

= unbeatable

 

[cricketindiafan]

What a knock by Kallis. Seems to be improving with age!!

And in his knock lies the key secret for our batsmen. WHoever gets set has to convert his start to a big knock. Can't score the 30s and 40s. Sehwag needs to be a little sensible. Barring the 1st innings of 1st test, has got a start in every innings and then thrown it away. Needs to bat a little longer here for us to have a chance.

 

[NJamal]

Almost gone Ghambir

 

[cricket_fever]

do not worry guys .. india will score 500+....

dont worry guys

steyn and morkel will be on a role
