At least Vengsarkar and Chappel are doing something to save face.

Sehwag is in the team. He should be thankful to Dhoni's injury.

However as he has not opened for India today, see now, we got first 100 opening partnership since ages

On bouncy wickets we need to have batsmen with sound technics and not the thinkless attackers like veeru.

Wicket is not that Bouncy, it is Hard. Ball is coming at good hight. Some of the strokes that Jaffer and Karthik played were amazing. Scoring has been slow, but thats what the Test Cricket is all about - the idea, I think is to Bat once. Wicket is Hard and it will be good pitch for Kumble and even Sehwag in last two days. It will be Fun to Watch Kumble with Runs behind his back.

If we have good first hour - onslaught is not far behind with all so called Stroke makers to come in (including Sehwag).

the pitch is a heaven for batsmen and the start though good was very slow... did you see the difference when dravid came,,,, the runs were flowing every where....

Now that the new ball has come Indian are back in the shell... the Indian batting is in a such a pitiable state...... Tendulkar is less than 10% what he used to be.. very apprehensive...
he ought to do something.

Their run rate was lower than Team India. IMO, Test Cricket is all about Pushing Opponent out of Game. It is fine ... even if you Score Low as long as Overs/Sessions are Consumed. I like to see Slow & Long rather than Quick & 'not that Long' First Inning when you know Pitch will help your Spinners.

Game is Wide open ... all Four Results are Possible. It's even.

Looks like its going to be very interesting match. IMO, draw is ruled out. If the pitch starts turning, then we r in a good position. We have entire day tomorrow. We should have batted a bit more responsibly in the second ionnings.

If we lose, then dada should be the captain, again.

Yes, Draw is Ruled out now ... SA is in Strong Position. Everything is up on Kumble & Company. Not many Runs to Defend.

I can't understand the Logic behind Dropping Karthik to No 7. Specially after giving such a Good Start in 1st Inning. For that Mater, they have done so many things, which does not make sense to me.

I know its easy to say afterwards. But this one ... Sehwag at Top again, I won't even call that a Gamble. Say he gives you Quick fire 70. Whats the Point? You still have that many sessions to play.

At the end ... Karthik was stranded alone without partner! Talk about backfire...
