Steyn to sreeshanth. Please cool down Sreeshanth. Cricket is a cool headed game.
 
The end. Lead by 2 runs.

Huge mini-session coming up. Smith and Petersen vulnerable, the injured Kallis in at 4. Do not take your eyes off this.
 
210 overs still to be played in this match . Draw looks like the most possible result
 
Thanks to Sachin and Bhajji for there great partnership otherwise India could well have been trailing by atleast 100 runs right now .
 
Lead is After Lead So, 2 Runs Lead will give India a great Deal of Confidence to Chase the total whatever SA gonna set for them in the match.. This match having a great deal of contest for sure.. I am excited.. :)

S/A HAVE IT ALL TO LOSE NOW
 
This has been a tremendous advert to test cricket. Both sides not giving an inch - punches and counter punches and some tremendous fast bowling vs amazing batsmanship..who says test cricket is boring?

Hopefully the final few overs would have fired up the competitive juices of Zak and Sree. Cmon guys..give SA a taste of their own medicine!
 
One comment on Cricinfo:-
Harshad: "Given the sledging Sreesanth is receiving, I hope Dhoni does not sell him down the river this time and say he needs to control his temper. He should do that in the dressing room but in public needs to support his bowler. The South Africans are no saints. Nobody obeys the so called 'line' anyways.. so Dhoni dont ever do that again to your bowler. The opposition are gonna gang up on him. "

I agree with this. I didnt like Sreeshanth sledging because he started it with Graeme Smith. But if saffers are going to play the same trick then why should he alone recieve stick for it.
 
Hope we can take at least 3-4 wickets before stumps today.
 
Dale "stain remover" , i bow down to you. One of the best bowlers i have ever seen in my life so far. Amazing accuracy right from the start and bowling unplayable outswingers almost every ball. It was a fantastic contest watching him bowl to SRT. Like an unstoppable force against a immovable object.
 
Too lazy to go there. Plus this thread rakes up so many posts in such a short time that its difficult to keep track of too many threads at the same time.
 
Hope Zaheer and Sree are all fired up by that Smith and Boucher sledging.

Smith is such a sook. Never afraid to sledge himself but had that massive sook when Sree laid into him at Durban.
 
Those who say India were lucky in their 1st innings should've seen last 2 Sree balls to Smith. He was beaten twice in last 3 balls.

Its really that kinda pitch. Always has something in it for the bowlers. You're never in on it. So better to make hay while sun shines.
 
Test match, series and pretty much the title of number 1 Test side in world will now be decide pretty much by a 1 inns test match!

India should fancy chasing anything under 250 so they need to make inroads here!
 
Beauty from Sree. He is such a talented bowler when he puts his mind into his bowling rather than in his stupid antics..
 
Gotta say that Zaheer is far from his best in this test.
 
Sa playing good, I hope the play faster to get a result out of this game.. Drawn result s likely here I think
 
Haven't been able to see any of this series, but looks like a pretty decent scrap going on between two teams equally matched. Tendy is truly an epic cricketer - just keeps on going, keeps on scoring.
 
They are playing good cricket here. India needs to break this partnership soon.
 
need some betting experts here

should i go for a draw here?
 
Crowd trouble there. Some things thrown at the fine leg fielder.
 
Ten coverage has been really poor there. Always overeager to show ads at slightest of delay.

Hope we don't see another Indian tour on this pathetic channel.
 
Someone from SA crowd called him monkey, why im not surprised. lol
 
sreesanth crying again after the crowd dishes out sum of his own medicine surprise surprise what a loser

Indian batting have to collaps if SA are gonna win...

When did Indian batting collaps last it was against Nz but Bhajji saved them.. The pitch is flat right now.. Anything can happend... But right now its ricky.. I think u should wait and watch...

I am praying for Amla and south Africa to humiliate the FTBs

A loss is no humiliation, especially when it's at the end of a gripping series.

I've noticed this habit of Indian and Pakistanis with words such as 'slapped his critics', 'thappad', 'humiliation'....it actually speaks a lot about us as a people.
 
Good first over by Bhajji. Now thats definitely a surprise.
 
This looks totally different pitch now. Thats the difference in standard of bowling on display.
 
The Indian batsmen are not flat track bullies, as they've proved in this series.

However, a subject that is definitely up for debate is whether or not the Indian bowlers are bowling track bullies.
 
That was never hitting...One of ten decisions to go way of Indians ...why do South Africa even turn up they are playing against 14 men including 3rd umpire !!!!
 
Another wicket (of Amla) before stumps would be nice.
 
My initial reaction was that it was bit high and probably missing leg.
