Steyn and Ntini deserved this victory imo.

That over Steyn bowled to RP was awesome. RP got thoroughly humiliated.

It's also India's first innings defeat since the 2001 Colombo (SSC) Test against Sri Lanka.


our bowlers should be humiliated!!

hopefully they work out on a lot of things b4 the 3rd test, cuz i still have faith in them and always will

It's because of batsmen, we lost the game. Our bowlers did well. They were unlucky too. Can't really blame them

[pakistani pride]

congrats Saffers. this is a historical win !

 

[Rickz]

Thanks.

The game is not over untill the last wicket is taken or the last run is scored. Simple as.

It is tough. India are still 157 runs behind, but one big partnership can give India some kind of a boost, India needs these two to get past the 157 run barrier and then make some more runs and the last four batsmen need to contribute making atleast over 100 runs between them. Kumble and Harbhajan can bat! they have fifties between them against tough attacks!

That was once upon a time.

Mate against Aus dont even bother showing up cause we all know they already won the series even before it has started against you chockers lol

The ONLY time India has prevailed over Australia was when GLEN MCGRATH WAS NOT PLAYING.

That said, India does have a better record versus Oz than do the jaaps. But I'm sure that will change the next time Aus play Safrica.Aus just doesnt have the attack to compete anymore - because the great Glen McGrath is no more.

oouch that's something called humiliation

Your batting LOST it in 1st 20 overs of the 1st day.....I wouldn't blame your bowlers. Plus your batting did not apply themselves in the 2nd innings either.....pitch was behaving still the same as it did for Saf.

 

[TruSachFan]

yes im blaming both the bowlers and especially the batsmen

but still RP singh never looked like getting a wkt

in this match, none of the bowlers apart from harbhajan looked like getting a wkt

in the next match, when the batsmen fire and the bowlers get their acts straightened out

then it will be an awesome match

It doesn't matter . You have such a psycholigical advantage you could play blind men and still beat us . I don't hold much hope for our next meeting sadly .....would be nice for both fans if we could compete for a change though .

Aussie Steve Bucknor is a little to old to be playing cricket now isnt he...LOL

Actually though Saffer i think the Oz team are more vunerable now then they have been since the 80's. Ahhh the 80's, Night Rider, The A-Team, Terminator, ripped denim, mullet hair doos, Madonna and Kylie Minogue before they had been soiled and ravaged by hundreds of men.....sorry got off track there for a sec.

Im still not convinced by Clarke, Symonds, Haddin, Jacques and Johnson in the test side. And the India series may have left some scars on the Aussies them selves.

Its kinda strange cos i dont feel like my normal arrogant Aussie self.
