Very Happy for Zak.
India tour of South Africa.
- Thread starter zing
- Start date
Why can't every test match be like this. Give me teams struggling to get around 300+ over boring 500 plus score matches.
How's Vijay playing?
Playing well. Played well in the first innings as well. He's definitely learned from his last tour here that's for sure
Okay Morkel looks injured. I'm not sure if he'll bowl another over in this match.
Feeling sorry for him but we've a big chance here now.

I hope he's back in the next session.
I don't. Massive opportunity for India here.
Nothing against Mayanti.
Morkel gone off for a scan. Don't think he'll bowl today.
Married
What a lucky bastard he is.
Vijay has done well here. Even if he gets out now, I think he has done his job
Has improved beyond belief. Looking really, really solid.
I think we are actually going to win this one. Didn't think that was possible.
This is great from pujara and vijay. Didn't expect this at all
Vijay has thrown it away. SA were very down, no need to give them freebies
feck, another wicket thrown away.
Expecting india to crumble from here on.
Nah. We will collapse after the second new ball if we are down by 5 or more by then.
Pujara's unbelievable.
Played some 15 tests and he guarantees 120 balls on average, in any conditions.

Long way to go still but those Dravid comparisons are very apt.
I edited my post.. a guy who is 15 tests old making Dravid's absence not felt. These are once in 30 years type players and he's been playing like this from debut.
wtf
Why is Tahir even playing?
How the hell does Philander swing a 50 over old ball that much?
Pujara's really picked it up. Fantastic batting
Just home and wonderful to see only 2 wickets down.
This is fecking sensational.
Run machine!
Worryingly easy.
Cracking shot from Kohli.
Pujara's strike rate is better than Kohli's. That is incredible. He's completely controlled the innings.
The South Africans look confused and shocked.
Unbelievable.
How many more over do we bat? I reckon an hour after lunch might be a good time to declare especially if he can up the scoring rate even more.

New ball in the next session, though. Doubt it'll be a high scoring one.
Either way, an hour after lunch it should be.

SA have been very poor.
Losing Morkel can not be an excuse. With Kallis in there, that is still equal to most bowling attack around the world. In fact most would chose combo of Steyn + Philander + Kallis ahead of the Indian trio.
Steyn bowled 7 overs after tea and Philander 6. I have no idea why that was.

If Dhoni is smart he will send in Rahane ahead of Sharma if we lose one early to the new ball. He is more likely to see it through than Rohit.
Think Rohit's done nothing to earn distrust in tests. He has a first class average of 60. I'd say trust that.
On Pujara, he's played so many match winning knocks already. Starting right from his debut.
