India lost their way today after being 114-3 at one stage. They would have preferred to set SA a target of atleast 300. SA should win and take the series 2-1.

May be 70:30
Depends how Kumble bowls and how creative dravid is. I couldnot understand why he took Silly point out today during last overs when Kumble was bowling to Smith. Smith had no clues when he was surrounded by 3-4 fielders. If India get Smith and Kallis early today then India will be fine. Indian issue is more complicated because of injury of Munaf & Sreesanth.
Also Sehwag and Sachin will have to bowl a lot better.
Re: 3rd Test , South Africa vs India , 2nd-6th January 2007, Cape Town init
I reckon 50/50
Re: 3rd Test , South Africa vs India , 2nd-6th January 2007, Cape Town init
India WILL win. No if's or but's. Kumble will take 6 wickets, Sehwag 2, 1 run out.

For the future of Indian cricket, India should lose.
Else it would not be easy to get ready of deadwoods in the team.
Re: 3rd Test , South Africa vs India , 2nd-6th January 2007, Cape Town init
:D :D
Win or Loss, In either case only one dead wood will go i.e Sehwag.
I dont think they will be able to touch Sachin. Sad but true.

Re: 3rd Test , South Africa vs India , 2nd-6th January 2007, Cape Town init

Sachin’s dilemma
Chakravarthy, one of our readers, wishes to start a debate regarding Tendulkar. He raises two points: one, that Tendulkar hasn’t been able to really dominate the ball pitched outside his leg stump in the rough for quite few years now (ever since Nasser Hussain employed Ashley Giles for it) and that teams around the world have picked up his perceived weakness for this delivery; and two, that he should retire from one day cricket after the World Cup and prolong his Test career by addressing these problems.

Cric info can hardly hide its glee over the falling rain:
Rain is falling, chama cham cham
Re: 3rd Test , South Africa vs India , 2nd-6th January 2007, Cape Town init
^ Yeah so true
but I think there's a little bit of justice in that. India were denied one or two victories against WI (also in CT) last year because of bad weather. plus SA have n't really played better than India (infact it's the other way round) over the three tests to deserve a series win

Update: 14:47 local, 12:47 GMT - **Its not raining right now, but theres a slight drizzle in the air. The Indian players are coming out to warm up, and the camera stumps are being put back in. **The situation as of now: 15:05 start, Tea at 16:40, last hour to start at 17:30 or when 34 overs have been bowled, 49 overs left in the day. Whew.

kallis is still there and that has got to be the cruical wicket as far as India goes.
Re: 3rd Test , South Africa vs India , 2nd-6th January 2007, Cape Town init
South Africa 170-4. Kumble going for 8 runs in the first over after tea
Saffies needing 41 runs to win the match and series.
