Donno how many matches sachin won in his 50 100s. Remember @ WACA jhonson won a mtach with his batting also 60 odd runs. Not 50 - 60 100s. I always admire Jack Kallis as the best test player. He scored 12000 runs, 38 100s, around 275 test wickets.

Senthil:
The same Johnson was murdered when his compatriots played like your precious Indian team.... don't forget... Please use intelligence before making comments on this forum...
Why Dhone is carrying Baggages link Srishanth and Ishanth Sharma.Why dont they play with Nehra when Zaheer is absent.Nehra is a good swing bowler, who can do some effetive bowling in SA condition.Srishanth is fit only to Dance and show expressions for nothing.One more thing why dont they play Cheteshwar pujara in place of Raina, who is giving a continues flop shows in teh last 8 innings.Even a school kid can get him out if they bowl him outside teh off stump with little swing.It's a high time to play talented youngsters instead of plating jokers linke Srishanth in the team.
India can bounce back in this series.., i think now batsman got confidence from second innings.., for bowling ,they need luck.., because potential cannot gain or loss in a week.

Dravid should be at no.3. Enough of Sreesanth & Ishant. A good swing bowler is missing apart from zaheer.

Sorry can you please leave out joker S sreesanth from your squad, and I would feel it will be a better option of taking Dravid in place of M Vijay. Rest looks fine

Dravid is the only Batsman in the 1st innings who looked comfortable and therefore omitting him from the list is ridiculous

India have good bowlers but team selection is poor. In my view P.Kumar and A.Mithun should have got chance in place of J.Unadkat and U.Yadav.
Whoever is not there in playing eleven, just telling that bcos of his absence we lost.. same old stories... some reason to escape.. lolss.. after few days they will say without kumble, kapildev, srinath we lost.
The problem is Srikant..who is heel bent on taking players of Channai Super Kings in the Indian cricket team..Murali Vijay..Ashwin..etc..inspite of talented cricketers around such as Robin Uthappa..Pathans..Piyush Chawla..to name a few..but whats the point..one days our team itself will be no different from CSK team.. Well done Srikant.. Keep up the good work!!!

To be fair to our team, winning of toss was itself a game changer and it did benefit Sotuh African immensely.If they would have batted first, in all probabilities they also would have faced the same agony
Unless India gets quality bowlers no amount of heroics by the batsmen will help. Lets infuse fresh bowling heads in the team that are wicket takers - not the run of the mill stuff - who are ready to prove that they can also bat so that they can stay on in the team as makeshift batsman. Our selection should be such that bowlers should only bowl (atleast 4)and batsmen should do specialist batting(about 4). There can be one or two all rounders max apart from a wicket keeper.
