I wish good luck to Laxman and Dhoni for their respective centuries and hope they reach there.

prince_pervez · 16th February 2010, 15:15

Great! Both have centuries under their belt. Congrats!

suman · 16th February 2010, 15:18

Well done. Dunno what MSD has in mind, I'd say declare with a lead of 350-375 & get a crack at them today...........

Eddy · 18th February 2010, 13:26

For those who are watching, was this a difficult chance ?

(from cricinfo commentary)

90.6
Sharma to Parnell, no run, 138.9 kph, dropped by Suresh Raina at wide fourth slip Full in length and well outside off stump, Parnell went for another drive and got a thickish edge but Raina stretched out to his right but clanged it. There were three slips, a gap and then Raina

Just three more to go lads !

esteemer · 18th February 2010, 14:00

Hasn't the number of overs been reduced too?

Just hope they wrap it up quick.

Come on India, go get them.

It's tea time. Just two hours left. The way Ishant is bowling, and as Zaheer has been rendered hors de combat, I can see a possibility of Amla pulling off the unthinkable.

If he does, good for him. Much as I would like to see India win, Amla deserves credit for the way he has applied himself. 473 runs till now in three innings, dismissed only once and his average has gone up by about 7!

esteemer · 18th February 2010, 14:48

2 more to go

And yeah, Amla deserves credit, lot of credit actually.

Mission_Safari · 18th February 2010, 15:12

Harris gone. Just one more to go

AbdulRahmanM · 18th February 2010, 15:29

I am sorry, wrong information, posted as guys in my office shouted that India had won. I Apologize.

What? As I type, Cricinfo commentary says Amla and Morkel are still at the crease.

Am I getting delayed commentary or are you making a prediction?

Eddy · 18th February 2010, 15:35

Will SA do to India, what England did to them (twice) ?

Where are you watching the game bro? Cricinfo is still showing Amla and Morkel playing.

I am sorry, it seems a catch was dropped, guys watched TV and shouted that India won. Sorry, it was my mistake and enthusiasm which made me post. We have to wait.
