SA should have a go at India today for atleast 4 to 5 overs which means 2 overs for innings change so SA have 6 more overs to score quickly.
 
40th ton for Kallis, 2nd in this match. Real master blaster what a player.
 
A true champion is Kallis. No one can question his abilities again after this match.
 
The thing I hate about Sa team is there always very conservative and always try to play safe..
 
This test match has witnessed two amazing centuries. One by Tendulkar and one by Kallis.

Kallis' century was truly special, considering he was battling pain throughout his innings. Well done sir :bow:

Brilliant knock Kallis bhai.

I thought yesterday that India were slightly ahead, but this knock on this pitch in the circumstances is brilliant MashaAllah. WHAT A PLAYER.

(Btw very well bowled to Harbo as well, I hate the guy but even though Newlands is spinner-friendly he bowled really well. Also fine gutsy knock from Boucher and entertaining little Steyn cameo)
 
What a legend :kallis

Two great knocks in the same match... The second one could possibly set up a victory.

Just wow.
 
Well Played Kallis, all I can hope for now is India dont bat today and possibly play for a draw at best tommoz,,,,
 
looks like no declaration tonight? Quite defensive IMO, a target of 300+ in 85 odd overs on a 5th day track against an attack including Steyn and Morkel, and yet no declaration? Hope this doesnt come back to bite SA at the end of tomorrow...

Now India cant win this match.. only draw it...

Smith is trying his best to make it a draw.....average captain he is.
 
Have to say never really rated Kallis much in past but he has started to win me over as a fan!
 
Kallis is by far the better batsman so far in this test. Tendulkar can overtake him if repeats his 1st innings performance. As for declaration, Smith would be prefectly happy to draw the test against risking a loss here. They could win it in my opinion, but you know, he would stall just so that nobody blames him later for declaring early at a smaller score.

HAHAHAHAAH Chasing 300 runs...
 
Sreesanth unfortunately has got a wicket this innings. SA prospered.

They're afraid of laxman lol.

I wouldn't declare with 300 on the board. I'd want at least 350.

What you have to remember is the guy getting the wickets are harbajan. SA don't have a very good spinner, harris isn't as good as harbajan. The fast bowlers aren't getting as much out the pitch. Maybe the SA fast bowlers will, but you can't know that for certain.
 
None of the Indian batsmen should gift away there wicket to the African bowlers, especially Sehwag. Smith expects to bowl out India in 3 sessions , prove him its wrong and Draw the first ever series in SA

Why is Smith not declaring? though as an Indian fan I'd prefer SA plays few overs tomorrow morning as well...

Thank you Graeme Smith for not making us bat today,,, PHEWW

80 overs are enough to bowl a team out on this pitch , SA are ensuring India have no chance chasing the total ...not bad stratergy considering the importance of the series .
 
Really poor.. I have lost hope... Smith is an idioit.. thought it wud be one of the best test match ever.....
