I wrote a whole post about the first two days of this series.
Then I deleted it.
Frankly, you’d be better off pretending you saw this.
Or you could fantasize about how a series like this could have started if Steyn and Sehwag were going head to head on the first day.
Anything to scrub the last two days out of your mind.

Pakistan has reason to feel threatened going by the fielding stds set by teams in the said game. Go Harris for five-for! Show them how it’s done.

Smith, Prince, Kallis, Amla, Duminy……Can a test batting line up ever get more mind numbingly boring?
Deep Cower, yes it could – Neil McKenzie could be there.
Neil McKenzie is worst. He is dead Bat. Collingwoood’s another avatar.Collingwood actually better. If u cut off few scoring stroke he will stuck at zero whole inning.
It is good he lost form. :D
What’s worst is how they didn’t even bother to accelerate knowing a declaration was imminent… it’s like they didn’t WANT a little more time or a few more runs to win the match! They’re already playing for a draw, those Saffers.
.-= Rishabh´s last blog ..Here we go =-.
I would have scored 600 runs and declared. Smith made a mistake as 600 score would have psychological effect on indians. I still think SA can win this one.
Main reason is India realized that it can’t take 20 wickets with their bowling. India will be playing for draw and will put too much pressure on themself and lose wickets. i never saw badrinath play well in pressure conditions in domestic game. India losing or draw really depends on Murali vijay and badrinath. Vijay may get more chance but its only badrinath’s only chance. If he makes century he can cement his position.
Ishant sharma is really useless in indian pitches. He never learnt the art of bowling. He scramble every damn ball. Why not he copy Asif bowling grip….with his height he can bowl regular 135+ all he need to keep the ball seam straight. He looks like he need more learning. May be he will be good in two years unless he gets fat.
Problem is aside from sreesanth , Nehra,Rp Singh and munaf all show slacker behaviour. Indians should start eating BEEF ( :D ) or we will be continue to have weak “ouch it hurts” type of bowlers like nehra. No stamina , No strength. Aussie has 3 bowlers can bowl 150+. Indians never had one bowler do that consistenly. I think it is mainly due to diet.
If they spent most of the time playing for a draw IN SOUTH AFRICA, playing against ENGLAND well … they’re never going to go gungho against India, in India.
.-= Nathan´s last blog ..That was mindblowing =-.
So the secret to perform well in India is out!
List of players with 150+ score in a Test innings in India in last 10 yrs:
Amla, Kallis, Mahela (x2), Younis Khan, Hall, McKenzie, Hayden, Clarke, Flower, Mizbah, Inzy, AB.
If you extend it to the 90s, you can add Mock Waugh, Jimmy ‘Pad’ams, Hick, Anwar, Cullinan to the list.
Missing out by a whisker: Hussey, Mark Richardson (SOB owes me for every minute wasted) and Hudson.
Barring a few from the list above, it is very evident how one can succeed in India. No wonder these saffers are making it big!

Tendulkar scores 7. Psst!. When india needs him he lay Big EGG. He is the guy who reaps rewards of all hard workd done by dravid by removing shine of the ball. Every time sachin came to bat ball has no swing. If he is a real team player he should have played number 3 .
What he do ? make vijay the scapegoat. He always plays safe. He is not a great player and not even average player. He is a player who sneaks run when conditions are benign. He is a Anti team man and stat whore. :D
All hopes are on Badrinath. He can make century and say to all selectors fk off idiots. Murali vijay ? He is lucky. He is not good player technically or anything special. He may be good against bad teams not against good fast bowling. His fielding is exceptional though. So he can be permanent replacement for openers until someone come out better.
India have longway to draw the game. This is the game makes future champion. If saha makes century , it will make him household name. Can he?.
I still think india is most probably going to lose.
God made 100 and got bored threw his wicket. Time to sleep. :D
Steyn run thru india like freight train. India will lose by end of tomorrow. Buh bye india…over hyped Number 1 team. India should be no 3 or 4. No sehwag , india would have bundled out today itself.
India really need bowlers who can bowl 145+ consistent , until then live in mediocrity and babbling all day about loser chokedulkar stats. . :D
Sachin is most over hyped batsman in the history of the game. This guy never bats when india need him. Can he play like dravid and save this game?. I doubt that. Where are all sachin followers…my puppets? hiding?. :D
Ha, ha … Ha, ha … Ha, ha
- bet you arsewit halfholes can hear us SAFFER LOSERS laughing all the way from South Africa
love your work
keep your cocks up, pseudo-cretins

Greg, you haven’t commented here since South Africa beat Australia. Funny that. Didn’t hear from you when Australia beat South Africa, or when South Africa folded in the Champion’s Trophy or even when England ground out the draw.
