Indian bowlers have already taken 10 wickets in the match, and this is already a 250% improvement over the last Test, where they managed just 4. What more do we expect. Expecting this attack to take another 10 wickets is totally unjustified. And what of the 300 target? I think we shall have done well if we can give them a target of 200.
If Steyn has a sore back, ankle injury, torn ligament or any damn injury and he would not bowl, 300 is a possibility. Otherwise we may get half of 300. Strong possibility of Laxman hanging on till end making a 50 & others making a march past. But Pujara will surely make an effort for to survive. This fellow has in him to make it big in test cricket and is the ideal replacement for Dravid.

it's tough as the pitch is not favouring batsmen.any way if SA struggles in innings4 it's a possibility of a win.

BE PATRIOT. LEARN HOW TO COMMENT. THIS IS THE TIME FOR LAXMAN TO RESCUE, ALONG WITH OTHER BATSMAN. INDIA IS GOING TO HIT 440 RUNS IN THEIR SECOND INNINGS AND DEMOLISH SOUTH AFRICA FOR 195 RUNS IN THEIR SECOND INNINGS AND SQUARE THE SERIES. BEST OF LUCK INDIAN TEAM.

Sharma ji cool down. Every Indian wants us to win. It was how you look at the situation and our previous record on SA pitches.
we have still left with 6 wickets and dhoni bhaji and zaheer ishant can easily score 150 runs each 40 runs i am sure india is going to win this match level the series

U r right. Nobody can predict. Anything is possible in cricket. Even rain can play a g00d line.
