Is Kallis in the ODI squad as well or is he rested? After this Test series I think SA will rest him in the ODIs to have him fully fit for the WC.
 
Why is Dhoni is using Sehwag or Tendulkar as a bowler... ?? there is a patch to bowl in?

He will miss the first 2 odi :umarakmal
 
The difference between both teams is going to be the bowling. Once the ball loses its sting the Indian bowlers have become very ordinary even if the pitch offers something. On the other hand, the SA bowlers bar Harris would be a handful even with a 75 over old ball. SA clearly has the advantage here..

Would India be able to draw the match now that the tables have been reversed? Whatever said this is test cricket at its best..Both teams dont want to lose, and it was pretty even stevens till now with SA inching ahead at the moment..
 
Where Is RP SIngh ??? he surely would have done a better job than Irshant here..

Sehwag, no chance - shoulder injury. Tendu is defo an option, wonder why he is not being used..a niggle perhaps.

Sachin would have been worth a try much earlier, instead of Ishant..Dhoni should have thought about this when the partnership was around 50 or so..
 
Ishant is bowling himself out of the WC team...good riddance :) What is he doing?
 
Remember what Kallis did in the 1st innings along with tailenders. He singlehandedly added 100 runs with the help of tailenders and save SA from humiliation of conceding a huge 1st innings lead it was 262-6 to 362-6. If he is able to add 50 with tailenders it will be huge and India will be chasing close to 300
 
Hopefully S.A will get bowled out by close of play and India will have a challenging run chase on day 5.

I hope we see a postive result in this match.

I have a feeling Kallis will steal most 100s record from Sachin by next year.

This performance by Kallis will egg Sachin to give his best in the 2nd innings for sure. I wont be surprised if he lifts up his performance in the next innings too..And as I write this he strikes with the ball :)

Yaar, I think Tendulkar's 2nd innings record is not great.

So was his record in SA before this series..he has improved it now. He has atleast three second innings centruries if IIRC in the last two years. So you can be optimistic
 
India have an end open now so need to polish the tail off some how!
 
Steyn looks like hes just going to try and smack some quick runs...
 
I think that one of the TV cameras must be entirely devoted to picking out attractive young women in the crowd. I've noticed this before in SA. Whether or not this is the only job of the cameraman, he's certainly good at it!
 
SA will probably bat out entire day today and have a go at Indians with the new ball in the morning with the option of second new ball at the closing stages of the day if Indians are not bowled out.

HEHEH I have noticed it too...:)
 
Bad signs for the Indians..reminds me of Pakistan team here- not able to wipe away the tail.

India will be under severe pressure and SA are going to throw the kitchen sink at them tomorrow: India are going to have to play exceptionally well if as it looks, the target is going to be bigger than my threshold of 260.

If SA can get this up close to 300, it's gonna be a thriller because then India have to attack in the morning.
 
Sa batting too slow for my liking now.. Kallis need to bat faster to ensure a result

Khan to Kallis, FOUR, 120.6 kph, edged between second slip and gully. It rolled along the ground. It was delivered from wide of the crease, from round the stumps, lands on a full length outside off and straightens. Kallis stretches forward to off drive and edges. Kalis is in Pain again. That stretching must have done it

Those speeds don't even match up to Afridi.

Shameful.
 
Khan should start tucking into a diet rich with eggs if he wants some pace.
