What are talking about? They bowled out SA for 265 after they were 152 for 1. If you dont have any point and patience to watch a competition, get off and go play some card game. Dont bother us with this kind of nonsense.

u are the nonsense in this forumn who is farting from a long time. indian cricket team is loser team and will lose the series shortly
I think it was good for India that Kumble backed out. He is not a match winning captain. As a bowler he is no longer as effective as he used to be and as a semi fit bowler he has been totally ineffective. Dhoni may not have the experience but he has the abilities one looks for in a captain. Presently, I expect India to win.

Well. We need a wicket keeper that can bat and score atleast 40 - 50 runs. Do you know of anyone? Dhoni certainely doesn't seem to score more than 15-16 runs in every innings he plays.
Another thing, Kumble is injured. That doesn't make him a lesser captain. Although, I was surprised that they didnt have a plan for Steyn in the second test match.
Kumble the captain and Sewag the deputy in test matches. This is how it should go.

your head SA have the advantage because of the nature of the pitch. loksl ike u dont have any cricketing knowledge
Captaincy made the difference, Other wise Kumbale/Harbhajan would have bowled 25 overs each & shreesanth & Ishant would have bowled 15 over each & rest of them would have bowled 10 overs. Dhoni gave chance to each bowler on right time & he got the result. He dare to take such steps & he gets successes.

absolutely agree friend...at last somebody gives due credit to deserving person & understands strategical game rather than conventional one.

Not really. There was nothing special from Dhoni here. The big difference in this test match is, India has a fast bowler that can bowl with pace and some accuracy, that is Ishant. The pitch has assistance for spin.

Dude..come out of the sweet dreams about scoring 600 runs. This team is handicapped in the absence of Sachin. His replacement Yuvraj is not very fluent on the slow tracks such as this. He would have made a difference in the second test at Motera though.
it is unfortunate to see Sivaramakrishnan and SA commentator badmouthing Indian bowling while sparing sresanth. Indian bowling hit back after SA score of 160. It is time to see how India hits back.
This match will have result. India must bat very sensibly and patiently and msuter such total that they they need not bat 4th innings. Good work done, now batsman please show your stuff as per your standard.
As the pitch seems to be lively and provides variable bounce u can see another marchfast from Indian batsmen tomorrow.
On top of the huge loss Dhoni has included yuvraj singh ??Intresting to see what he does?.
All the batsmen excpet Dravid are stroke makers witout solid defence.As Ishanth was getting some assistance from the pitch u can expect more from Ntini and Steyn.
Coach Gary it will be test of ur Character to handle these stroke makers in good lively pitches.
