^ *You suddenly appeared after two days, were you hiding in the trenches while SA was massacring your bowlers. :D

India fighting back. But a long way to go. They will need to score nearly 700 runs to shut SA out of this game.
hah i must say i am finding it hilarious how quick you guys are to bash the indian players.. after 2 days of game play... itni jealousy? so much bitterness? bus ek mauka mila aur SAAARE koood pare.. hahahhahaahahhaaha...
morne and steyn are the best fast bowling pair in the world right now.. they got the perfect conditions to bowl on their home track.. against players who are comign off the subcontinent with not much time to adjust.. no warm up games.. no excuse for indian batters.. they should have weathered the storm in the first 1-2 sesssions and then got on track..they are the best batting unit in the world too... full marks to SA and bad job to the batters.. but the reactions here are overr the top!!
if anyone is actually watching the match... the pitch has gotten substantially better.. india are 126/0 in their reply with a RR of over 5 !!!!!
if i had to bet i would still bet on SA winning this game.... but being the batting unit this is.. i would not be totally surprised if they pull off a draw.
as for the notion that this series will be 3-0 and india are no match to SA.. that's laughable.. we are witnessing a top of the table clash.. this is as good as it gets...
last time these teams met steyn/morne won round 1 and the indian batters won round 2 (600 odd declared with india winning the game and levelling series)...
steyn/morne have won round 1 again... bring the rest of the rounds on !!!!!
I dont think so. You had been here while pak was being hit from every side by England and SA. Our comments were much severe, so learn to take criticism. The Indians have hardly covered themselves in glory, even if they manage to save this match. Their strength was found wanting in first innings and their bowling is of club standard. So chill.

Bhai when Pak was folding up for under 100 multiple times I wasn't bashing them constantly.. I was actually disappointed that the effort of your bowlers were being wasted... but you are right that you guys were all still severely bashing pak players.. doing the same with indian players.. i guess it's just a different mindset.. i dont like to bash players over 1-2 days of play... if india folds up like the 1st innings over and over again this series then i'll be on your side :D
"learn to take criticism" i dont know what this mean... are you critcizing me? hahaha ok ok sorry for that shot yar i got excited and thought il whack the inswinging yorker over midwicket for 6 :(
Gambhir batted for 2 days in NZ to save a game... do it again Gauti !!!!
even the commentators were saying THE BEST CHANCE SAFFER BOWLERS HAVE ARE TO CREATE SOEM PRESSURE BY DOT BALLS AND HOPE THE BATSMEN WILL MAKE A MISTAKE... that's how much the pitch has changed?
Good counter-attacking cricket by Gambhir and Sehwag.
Sachin Tendulkar is one away from his 50th test century and what better moment than this. can he do it? Two of the three Dravid, Tendulkar and Laxman have to make big hundreds if India are to escape with a draw in this test. Although it's just one innings, the indian bowling has been totally exposed here
