Overall we have perfomed much better against india than they have against us...india are ahead of us on points due to a loss to west indies.....that's all . If we draw this series we will be ahead of them .
 
Dravid now with a strike rate of 9.09

Lucky he is the recognised batsman left LOL
 
The pitch isn't even doing much . Compared to s.a pitches this is flat .

Ntini is bowling a good spell here, Steyn is wayward.

The ball is moving a tiny bit and making it so obvious what we all know..indian batsmen are flat track bullies...

They should all have their averages reduced by 10 runs AT LEAST to give their true worth .

Saffers are bouncy track bulleys?? is it? We should add 30 runs to their average
 
Morkel started well..nice bounce and good pace even on this placid track..
 
fantastic bowling by ntini and steyn...but the wall is still there and pathan can bat as well, if we get 300+ then we are safe

Man you have really started to **** me off, every second post you is about Indians burning their players home, beating up players and beating up curators. I mean man when was last time that effigies of a curtor was burnt.
 
The first runs of a 300 partnership between Dhoni and Dravid

We have won or drawn all the recent games we played on flat/turning tracks . Sorry ...F for Fail .
 
Anyway i dont care..Whatever we will score we will bowl saffer's out less than that

wats the fuss about.. main thing he gets the job done.. and has won his country many games.. hence he is considered the Wall.. offcourse he can be very very slow but then when he plays is shot.. he is just classic to watch
 
200 will be a decent score considering the pitch will stay very low on the 4th and 5th day(if we get there)
 
There is no way you can tell me averaging 50 if you play half your games on flat home tracks (totally flat as anything) is worth the same than as if you did in playing half the time on south african tracks . Admit it..indian batting is highly over rated .

Compare the average of our batsmen to that of yours on any neutral pitch including Australia and Englad. Or batsmen wills till have at least 10 more than yours.

He was a great player no doubt. But lately it seems like he has lost the will to score. The defense is still good but the offence seems lacking.

Dravid has a better away record then his home record

Morne Morkel- Hope he stays fit because this guy will be a fantastic bowler.

He's a great bowler but he's another injury prone like Akther.

thing is i regard aussies as ppl who understand the player and his game..

seeing that above comment of urz wasn't really good.. however this post of ur's makes my judgement back to what it was..

i agree with u here.. that he has lost his that touch.. but may well seem to be coming back mate.. lets hope for the best

u r such a loser.. all players have scored centuries all around the world.. have dominated in series all around the world.. yet u ask for their averages..

Yes. I would love to see their averages away from home. I know against south africa if you take away sehwags after last match... only two average above 30(in india and south africa) .....they certainly have never dominated against ..in fact with tendulkars duck it might only be 1 averages more than 30...
 
Dhoni dropped....S.A need one more wicket here to get into the "tail"..

OZGOD whats your prediction ?

Too early to make any, and I haven't seen the pitch (not watching it as I am about to go to bed).
 
Tricky chance , but could have been taken ...

India building a little partnership here .

I don't know if it will ever come back for Rahul to be honest. He doesn't look like he is enjoying his batting at all and he has been batting like this for a fair while now. When was the last time he batted fluently? I can't recall...
 
Morkel to Dhoni, FOUR, good shot, pitches it slightly short outside off, Dhoni rocks back and punches it with control to beat the gap between gully and backward point
 
Where are our good friends Freedom, Sahrstra and Phoenix? Are they hiding behind the grass bushes? :D
 
Yes!!

steyn gets dravid !


clean bowled by a swinging beauty !!!

Morkel to Dhoni, (no ball) FOUR, fires in the yorker length, he oversteps as well, he manages to dig it out and drives off the meat of the bat past mid-on
 
One more wicket, and the Jaaps are in with a fantastic chance to restrict India to sub 100. If India get to 150 SA will be kicking themselves.

steyn continues to be way off target.

he really reminds me of gul

a lot of bad deliveries than one really great ball out of nowhere.

bump ...

see what i mean ..

steyn bowls one of the worst wides u'll ever see and the next ball is a beauty to get dravid.
 
13.1 Steyn to Dravid, OUT, superb delivery and India are staring down the barrel here!

And this was all Crapinfo could manage for that wicket
 
India 5/53 with the last recognised batsman gone.
 
And now after making a recovery of sorts, the Indian commentator corrects it.
 
hmm Random Aussie, to be frank not in this year..

at game. Saf doing great.. Good bowling by steyn..
 
Lets see what Dhoni can do, if he is as good as some make him out to be.
 
S.A with a chance to get india for under 150 here . I still dont think the pitch is doing that much either .
