Re: SA V India
Another one of those "seaming" pitches of India. About time someone gets another triple ton.
Shame on India for making dead pitches.
Re: SA V India
even on dead pitches, they lost 5 wickets for 7/8 runs... from 221/4 to 228/9 and while i am typing, 233 all out... and India is forced to FOLLOW-ON
not to mention 7 wickets are taken by the fast bowler... that tells you the real story about indian batting strength
Re: SA V India
And Smith has enforced the follow-on! Smith points to the Indian dressing room that you guys can bat on. Much fun awaits. What a frenetic session. Steyn has just blown away India with a furious spell of fast bowling. Can he do it for one more time? Can India resist? Join us in a very short while to find out. Styn 7/51
You can make dead pitches to try and retain your number one spot but doesnt work all the time.
Gambhir gone on 1 
ind 2nd inning 1/1
Re: SA V India
53/2
Re: SA V India
hahaha how disgtusting is this by INDIA .......made dead pitches to save themselves now if they lose this series ......they will go to 3
Re: SA V India
From cricinfo:
That's stumps on day 3, a day when Dale Steyn bossed around the Indians in Nagpur with a deliciously devastating spell of bowling. A day where he breathed fire and got the ball to curve in and out to harass the Indians. A day where three Indians lost the off stump, unsure whether it was coming in or going out. A day where despite Styen, it looked at one stage, that Indians were slipping out of jail as Sehwag and Badrinath stitched together a fine partnership when it happened. Sehwag fell, chasing a wide delivery, and the floodgates opened. Dhoni fell to a Harris delivery that leaped at him from outside leg stump and everything went like a dream for South African from then on.
Re: SA V India
I dont think its a dead/slow/flat pitch, fast bowlers got more wickets than spinners.
And we are playing without our test specialists (Dravid & Laxman) + Yuvraj ( yup, i know its a lame excuse for a team like India), anyways, its obvious India Will Win (the next test). :D
That is called overconfidence 
and definately MS wants those player out especially Dravid
Re: SA V India
I thin south Africa is fav for this series, coz it is very strong team. Indians are also strong but i heard some kind of grouping in India cricket team few days before
Re: SA V India
“…Graeme Smith motioning towards Harbhajan and Ishant Sharma, who were the last pair, asking them to tell their openers to see Steyn and Morkel in 10 minutes…”

Re: SA V India
cricinfo stinks like a rotten fish. when pak batting collapse the headline always contains humiliating words with the work Pakistan. When it comes to Indian bad performances, it will always be about other team....the word India or Indian will never be seen in headlines. They do the most biased job to cover India's flaws or poor performance. This is pathetic and sickening. We don't mind reporting fairly on Pakistan's circus and unprofessional attitudes from top to bottom in our cricket, but it should be same for everyone.

Do not cry for everything. Make a habit of winning, which put you into right place.

It's the bowlers, not the pitch, buba. Pitch is the same.
Re: SA V India
Great bowling spell by South Africa. Morkel, Steyn, Parnell and Kallis all touched the 145 kph mark. Express pace can destoy the best batsmen on any pitch.
We are totally outclassed by SA in all departments.Steyn what a spell!
