There has been more twists and turns than an Alfred Hitchcok thriller in this test.:)
 
Pakistan became 1st team to beat SA IN SA in Odi,s Last Month

India may became 1st test team to beat SA in Test,s This month
 
What?? Kohli's innings must now be viewed as truly remarkable, possibly match winning knock if India wins from here. Sreesanth once ran amok into SA, and today it is the turn of all bowlers. 5/29 since tea, India really doing a SA here.
 
Zaheer's presence does lift our bowling attack up. Last SA tour too had us routed in the first Test, but Zaheer's return turned the series in India's favor.
 
Kohli's ton is the difference between the two sides. Indian bowlers doing the basics right.
 
Zaheer is reversing like wasim....and shami is reversing like waqar.....what a pleasant surprise

Nup. Was a flat deck according to some Pitch experts yesterday. :))
 
Key for India is to get a 80-100 lead as well. I don't see us making 150+ in 3rd innings in these conditions.

We need a minimum of 250 to have a chance.
 
The wicket seems to have changes since yesterday. Only 5 wickets fell yesteray and today 11 have gone down already.

Could also be SA bowled poorly yesterday and India played well.

Anyways match far from over as India will have to bat again and I doubt Kallis and AB will fail twice in a match.
 
Ramki: "Ashwin 2 overs out of 48 in a test match. Very nice to see indian pace bowling doing...."
 
well my attempt to jinx SA worked ;)

situation is setting itself up nicely for dhawan to come out and do a david warner
 
Whether they win or not, the intent to fight is there with India now, with both bat and ball, unlike their previous away tours. The youngsters are a hungry lot.
 
If south africa can some how manage to restrict the lead to around 50 in first innings the match is still balanced.

philander and zipper man need to step up. philander played a hell of innings against pakistan and zipper man against australia.
 
Always thought india will perform much better this time with the young team....than the 8-0 drubbing last year....young players come with no baggage
 
india missing the trick here zipper man is clueless against spin ajmal proved it gazillion times
 
Poor over rate! Match/Score is moving like snail.... This might settle RSA :(
