Another lbw out for Sachin Tendulkar. What a pathetic batsman who never learns from his ways of dismissals and top of that he never prepares to avoid from such dismissals. Not sure why people consider him great when he does not possess a good a mix of good defence and attack. And when he cant deliver good attacking knocks in good pitches.
He is the only batsman in cricket who have most LBW dismissals.Thats an indication that batsman does not possess good mix of defensive and attacking technique.
Bowlers around the world know how to get him out. First way bowlers think is to get him LBW out. And Steyn succeeded in his plan.
So, time to haill Sehwag,Kallis,Sangakkara as great batsmen as they possess good mix of defensive and attacking technique

dude..who told that getting LBW shows lack of technique.. talks facts..dont just blabber.. if u do quick filter on cricinfo.. sachin, kallis ,lara all have similar number of lbw or bowled dismissals. now shut it.
At this level of cricket, it looks childish to decry the toss going in SA's favor. The world's no.1 test team should not be a slave of the toss. What one saw on day 1 was an absolutely awesome display of controlled pace bowling by Morkel and Steyn. Brilliant. The one that got Laxman was pure pace. Gambhir was worked over by Morkel who messed his head up badly to prove that no matter how much one enjoys ODIs and T20's, it is test cricket that still remains the true test of grit and patience. Raina might not last this series. One can only hope that the Indian pacers can emulate the SA pace pair. Especially Morkel's control of length. It wasn't just about pace but the way they made the batsman play every delivery that reminded you of McGrath at his peak. And for a fair measure they would whistle one past the ears. I was watching the match on Willow TV. The fear in the Indian batsman's eyes bar Sachin and Dhoni was palpable as they really were having no clue to the next ball. Really pray the team comes around quickly.

its good Indian team understand their strengths but keep in mind that Dhoni is eying the world cup and not the SA series. its better Dhoni adapts to the challenges of WC and not the SA series, as WC is in Indian subcontinent

Where did Wikileaks founder come in to this? just try to appreciate his courage to against the mighty power of the world... Your allegations are part of the conspiracy cooked against him... !!!
The super rich BCCI can not give good practice of bouncy and moist pitches. The can not create same kind of conditions in India just as a preparation of SA tour.
Instead of that, they are busy in ruining cricketers by too much cricket.
They just want money, they don't feel bad if country flops.
Otherwise how come all most same story can be repeated again and again about bouncy pitches?
if one were to just stick to the wicket like shastri (ravi) basically doin nothin take ur time instead of playing like t20 tire the bowlers out then start your climb you have 4 days for petes sake
Re: dont blame the toss tis the lame attitude to be blamed

sehwag is poineer of AVANCHE he has habit of careless strokes playing he made that in 2008 final of Ranji Trophy also but Gambhir made 91 runs to save the match but when big dinosour like sehwag fail why to blame small kid
It was the coin toss that has resulted in so much woe for India. SA would have faced the same fate against Sreesanth. The pitch is green and bouncy and the condition was wet. Dravid lost his patience and VVS plain missed it. ZK will be sorely missed. It will be very good for India if rain eats up some time. SA will have same problem if with Sreesanth's aggressiveness. Once thing is certain that unless Indian batsman do justice to their reputation, India is facing the possibility of defeat.
