Reviving the five year old thread. India inching towards victory, any guesses on who would finish off the rest two? Prince still is a thorn in the flesh!!

5 year old ?

This thread has seen some action today. Lotsa people cheering India today. I get the feeling that Prince will remain not out.

My bad!!! I searched for cricket and the result took me to a five year old page!! Let me find some place to hide my face!!!

And the poll added to the confusion :P

And hope, as it is put on cric info, Prince and Morkel do not turn out to be the VVS and Ishant of that Oz test!!

Eddy · 29th December 2010, 17:12

Nopes. Doesn't happen.

We win

anilisanil · 29th December 2010, 17:16

yes!! What a match it was. These guys are reviving what test match cricket is!! I have been thoroughly enjoying the test matches of late!!

Had a gala time!! Me and MX6 chatting over gtalk as I follow the commentary on cricinfo and he watching it live from home!!

Congratulations!!

P.S: Laxman made 96 and the victory margin is 88, another match saved by VVS, so who will win the MOM?

P.S = How about dropping raina and giving Pujara/vijay a chance in 2nd test?

Now what else can i predict

brilliant effort and now the last test will be a great one.
Also No.1 ranking and reputation intact

T20s are actually a boon. There are so many batsmen today in world cricket who cant play a patient game in Tests. It could also be some positive cricket.

Cool! We won. Superb news to start the day with. We are still number one!

BenjiRoss · 30th December 2010, 16:35

Great day!
India win
Aussies get thrashed!

Check this one for coincidence pointed out by a guy in Cricinfo

Two boxing day tests won by two higher ranked visiting teams from the northern hemisphere who have traveled to the Southern Hemisphere on the 4th day after a crushing defeat in the previous test in the countries that has proved to be their long time nemesis. Any more coincidence??" I guess this much does fine.

Guys what do you think are India's chances for today? Lots of hopes on Sehwag hope he strikes today!

Spitfire · 6th January 2011, 14:34

India all the way

amitoj · 6th January 2011, 14:43

I'll be happy if our batsmen survive the day!!
Most timid pace attack ever was on display yesterday.

anilisanil · 6th January 2011, 14:43

But how is the wicket doing? Can someone watching the match update? This being fifth day how is the bounce, is it keeping too low?

A draw or a South African Win. Scoring 340 odd is difficult in the last day. I dont think they will try to score fast and try to win. Probably sehwag may give it a try.
