South Africa vs India | 1st Test | Day 5 | Johannesburg | 21/12/2013

[Kianig89]

SA commies will be in full flow

 

[sehwag fan]

Dhoni gets everyone to bowl except shami,this guy is just the pits!

Captain cool has some tricks in his mind..

 

[Sandeep]

Chasing 458 in a test match! Insane stuff from Saffers here..

 

[Lara400]

blimey the boks have taken this down the wire, India's bowling letting them down again? Or is it the pitch?

 

[Mr Consistent]

69 from 15 overs they should attack now

 

[IndianWillow]

Brain freeze

 

[soso_killer]

This game is far from over

 

[IgnitedMind]

Pujara.....waited too long for throw

 

[sehwag fan]

Oh my....zaheer again

 

[battler]

Dhoni is officially the worst test captain I have ever seen!!
Makes the most absurd decisions ever,and he thinks he is actually being smart lol )

 

[WebGuru]

58th over for Zak in this match.

 

[SOSami]

Always add two wickets to the score...

 

[Convict]

Faf needs to start rotating the strike at least.

he is just lucky because of so many match winner batsmen in odi team and csk otherwise his captaincy is nothing even in one days and t20

 

[majiz]

Ashwin has awesome record in India but he is not cut for Overseas

Crap against England, good against teams who can't play spin. Away from home useless everywhere

 

[battler]

This is our version of the sydney test guys!enjoy and have a good laugh coz we deserve this!

 

[Mr Consistent]

ab on 99

 

[soso_killer]

100 for AB what a clutch of a player. A great in the making

 

[Buffet]

Test is done and dusted now. 60 runs in 15 overs with 6 wickets with two batsmen batting with 200 runs. SA is going to pull off this big chase. Even if SA loses 1 wicket and needs 30 runs in 30 balls, team should get it.

Match is almost over. Fascinating test match.

 

[battler]

Never gonna forgive dhoni for this!

 

[London_Lahori]

100 for AB SR of 61.7

 

[Mr Consistent]

100 for ab

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This game is far from over

Are you kidding me? You guys have won. Congrats

 

[London_Lahori]

Never gonna forgive dhoni for this!

Shami must be injured

 

[IndianWillow]

South Africa team effort. India as usual individual effort from Kohli and Pujara.

 

[Saeed]

Easy singles being given.

 

[Justcrazy]

Incredible chase here

 

[Ravi.]

And they will bowl one extra over

[Justcrazy]

Can SA win this ?

 

[mithun_minhas]

I am sure Shami is injured.

Dhoni must be short of one bowler now.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Faf should score quicker now. AB can't do all on his own.

 

[soso_killer]

Always add two wickets to the score...

that would be 6 wickets down with either Faf/AB/JP batting with Philander who is not bad with the bat i should add with less than 10 overs. Long way for India here mate. Either a draw or victory for SA

 

[Haripotter]

From trying to win initially, India now looking to draw ... What a turn around ...

But I fear, Dhoni will never learn his lesson & will still play ashwin is pace friendly tracks

 

[pakistanalltheway]

How many over's left ?

Why? Zak is already gifting them minimum one boundry a over.

What a test match. South Africa are winning this now. India played 4 days of good cricket but south africa showing why they are number 1 test side.

 

[Ravi.]

15 overs left. Where is rain?

What a game!

 

[IndianWillow]

Shami hasn't bowled for 34 overs. If he is fit to bowl, this is criminal from Dhoni.

 

[soso_killer]

Match is almost over. Fascinating test match.

its 66 from 14, still a along way

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Better than overhyped ashes series.

 

[Convict]

Time to attack

 

[Kianig89]

feeling bad for Ind n

 

[sehwag fan]

I wish dhoni retires in tests like swann after this test

 

[Sandeep]

The hell happened to Shami?

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

South Africa will go for win even if its poor light and win it. No chance of draw now. India had the best chance to beat south africa they have missed it.

 

[Sandeep]

Dhoni trolling India with his stupid tactics..

 

[Gone]

Should bring on Shami, he hasnt bowled for a long time, should be fresh and could do some magic!

 

[zabalestmsm]

South Africa team effort. India as usual individual effort from Kohli and Pujara.

Dont think so bcoz the batsmen did all they cud do even if it was their individual effort.

 

[Kianig89]

Sa played below par for a major part of this game and still they have don this

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

The hell happened to Shami?

He is yet to join Rhiti sports.

 

[Kianig89]

AB n FAF school mates

 

[Nikhil_cric]

But they need to accelerate now. More pressure in the last few overs.

 

[IndianWillow]

The hell happened to Shami?

I think Dhoni wants to bring him when the target is 20. Great captain. If Shami doesn't bowl again I am afraid he isn't fit.

 

[soso_killer]

Nice feet by Faf showing intent now

 

[battler]

I really hope dhoni retires from test after this,he will be doing us a huge favour!

 

[soso_killer]

400-4

 

[SOSami]

I think he's saving Shami for SA's (potential) slogfest in the final overs.

 

[Gone]

#BelieveInTheYoungBlues

What a exciting game! Test Cricket isn't dead yet! What other sport gives you 5 days of non-stop entertainment like this!

 

[Dee90]

I think its time us Indian fans protest for a decent bowling attack, because this is just beyond pathetic NO other team would lose in the situation India found themselves yesterday after batting in the second innings. It's not fair on us fans to see our team being walloped like this time and time again because of our pie chuckers. Stop watching the IPL and international matches India plays so it affects their pockets and let the BCCI know we want a quality attack. I know this will probably never happen but I dont see any other way of India producing an attack the world can fear.

 

[Sandeep]

Dhoni in tests - Bad Captain, Bad keeper, Bad batsman

 

[Mr Consistent]

400 up for sa

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Devilliers reminded himself and his team mates that they are playing against a subcontinent team.

 

[Gone]

#BelieveInTheYoungBlues

Shami on, any magic?

 

[soso_killer]

Well bowled Shami 1st ball up

 

[Saeed]

4.1 needed per over.

 

[Gone]

#BelieveInTheYoungBlues

Shami starts off well

 

[JustAnotherFan]

Nasty ball

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Good first ball by shami.

 

[Saurav]

its a 2-man attack.Ishant and Ashwin have done nothing

 

[Convict]

I think he's saving Shami for SA's (potential) slogfest in the final overs.

Has to be. Treating Shami as a death bowler. Big responsibility for a player with about 5 career tests.

 

[IndianWillow]

Shami in. I guess even if he picks up a wicket or two it is too late to build any pressure.

 

[Buffet]

its 66 from 14, still a along way

If AB doesn't try to pull it off too quickly. Even in last 3-4 overs if team needs let's say 30 runs, that's easily possible. Just need to not play expansive shots for few overs and game is won.

Fascinating test match and looks like a great end.

 

[IgnitedMind]

its a 2-man attack.Ishant and Ashwin have done nothing

First innings Ishant??

 

[leatherface58]

Lol Indians are losing despite defending 450. Now that's just disturbing )

 

[IgnitedMind]

^^^ I say more like Ishant and Shami attack...

 

[Gone]

#BelieveInTheYoungBlues

Shami is fresh, not having bowled for a while... needs to pick a wicket now though!

 

[sehwag fan]

What a clown dhoni is....bringing in shami after its done and dusted

 

[Justcrazy]

401 / 4

Bad is an understatement,it's almost like a compliment to him!
