India v South Africa | 2nd Test - Day 1&2 | Kolkatta | 14+15/02/10

[Afridi_Fan]

200 Partnership.

:14: :14: :14:

[Cover Drive]

200 patnership

[Momo]

GEM of a ball from Sharma, DROPPED AGAIN, +2 Indian fielding now officially worse than the Pakistanis...
You'll get there... :danish

[Cover Drive]

Good that it didnt come before

[kingusama92]

Let me rephrase then. Are India getting ground into the Kolkata dirt?

More like the Kolkata road.

[Momo]

Let me rephrase then. Are India getting ground into the Kolkata dirt?
They are. There are suggestions to end this torture and just award SA 600+ runs.

[Momo]

Appeal for catch behind. Turned down.

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Pyaray Mod Momo, gayle his a four!

[Khabri420]

Amla is an honest man. :moyo :anwar

[OZGOD]

How's Team Numero Uno going? Have they bowled SA out yet?

[abdul2009]

Now Saatan sharma and Phoni are trying to cheat to get a wicket

[Cover Drive]

Pyaray Mod Momo, gayle his a four!
yaar app Gayle ki jaan koo roo rahee hoo?

[Momo]

Was off the thigh pad. Ishant bowling good stuff finally.

[Romali_rotti]

WHat a catch by Dhoni, all the ball had to do was hit the bat on the way to his gloves...

[Cover Drive]

Amla is an honest man. :moyo :anwar
I have turned off my stream do you mind telling me what happened?

JazakALLAH Khair/Thanks in advance

[Khabri420]

Ishant trying to work up pace...ends with a noball

[WithLoveFromCanada]

yaar app Gayle ki jaan koo roo rahee hoo?

aray cover drive , Salam :D

trying to keep up with both matches but Gayle's batting for now ;), priceless at his best!

[kingusama92]

Ishant trying to work up pace...ends with a noball

He tried his best. That's all that counts. BAHAHA

[Momo]

Hashim has a reputation for walking when he has hit it. Like that great man said, Hashim is a good believer.

[Romali_rotti]

Ishant working up some good pace and bounce but where was this with the new ball ??

[OZGOD]

How's India's newest offspinner Ishant doing?

[Cover Drive]

aray cover drive , Salam :D

Walikumasalam

SA playing like Gayle so no worries bhai

[Khabri420]

I have turned off my stream do you mind telling me what happened?

JazakALLAH Khair/Thanks in advance

The ball hit his thigh pad going down the leg and Dhoni took it well. The Indians thought they had their man, good decision from the ump.

Robin Jackman said it even before the replay that "I have never seen Amla not 'go' when he's out"

Shows you what a great character this man has.

[Cover Drive]

Petersen on 97*

[Momo]

I have turned off my stream do you mind telling me what happened?

JazakALLAH Khair/Thanks in advance
Appeal for caught behind. Hashim didn't move. The umpire said Hashim was not out. Dhoni and Ishant looked shocked and hard done by.

Replays suggested Hashim is a good believer.

[Khabri420]

How's India's newest offspinner Ishant doing?

Bowling better in the new spell. His doosra (the bouncer) is working well for him. I say he's the find of the tour.

[kingusama92]

Yup. If I am an opposing player.. if Amla doesn't walk I wouldn't bother appealing. He certainly does always walk when he edges it.

[OZGOD]

Why are Amla and Peterson wearing helmets against Ishant?

[OZGOD]

When will MIGHTY AND TALL ISHANT unveil his teesra?

He is a "true believer" MashALLAH :moyo :inzi

[kingusama92]

Why are Amla and Peterson wearing helmets against Ishant?

More out of pity then anything else.

[Cover Drive]

Gayle gone mad!!

[abdul2009]

A few overs ago Ishant bowled a delivery at 131 kms and sunny immediately said 139kmph!!

Pathetically desperate sunny....He has been that desperate to see an indian quick bowler

[Momo]

Amla having a bit of trouble.

[Romali_rotti]

W_T_H ?????? Amla looks like he cant play the short ball to save his life, just taking it on the body...

[Khabri420]

Ishant will hit 100 mph in this match. What will happen to him after he bowls that delivery is extremely graphic

[kingusama92]

A few overs ago Ishant bowled a delivery at 131 kms and sunny immediately said 139kmph!!

Pathetically desperate sunny....He has been that desperate to see an indian quick bowler

Sunny needs to work on his rounding skills.

[Cover Drive]

Has Ihsant ever bowled at 140k?

[Cover Drive]

Another bouncer

[Momo]

When will MIGHTY AND TALL ISHANT unveil his teesra?
:)))

Amazing Urdu prowess, OZ!

[Khabri420]

Ishant will tire out pretty soon. Then it will be Business As Usual for him

[kingusama92]

Ishant with a maiden.

Now I have seen it all.

[Romali_rotti]

FInally now this is not so dull, 6 short balls in an over :D...

[Momo]

A few overs ago Ishant bowled a delivery at 131 kms and sunny immediately said 139kmph!!

Pathetically desperate sunny....He has been that desperate to see an indian quick bowler
What's 8 kph between friends, yaar?
:asif

[Cover Drive]

Ishant with a maiden.

Now I have seen it all.
I fainted for few minutes

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Momo , join Aus vs WI thread :D....

Gayetality is ON!

[kamranO]

Ishant Sharma to Amla, no run, Maiden over!! Short of length delivery outside off, Amla shoulders arms, Ishant gives the batsman a stare after that eventful over

[kingusama92]

Ishant Sharma to Amla, no run, Maiden over!! Short of length delivery outside off, Amla shoulders arms, Ishant gives the batsman a stare after that eventful over

:))) @ the stare.

Amla should have pointed at the scoreboard.

[Cover Drive]

Petersen at 99*

[abdul2009]

Amla sucks against short ball

[Cover Drive]

Another bouncer

One shot by Amla will make Ihsant stay at his initial position

[kamranO]

:))) @ the stare.

Amla should have pointed at the scoreboard.



ishant phaaaaaaaashat bbowling kar raha haaaai ahahahahahahaahah

[talal12345]

Momo , join Aus vs WI thread :D....

Gayetality is ON!

Gayletality is off. Dougie's bunny

[OZGOD]

[Cover Drive]

[kamranO]

[JustAnotherFan]

Well done, Alviro. Century on debut!

[WithLoveFromCanada]

Gayletality is off. Dougie's bunny

[Momo]

Peterson gets his century. Well played. A hundred on debut to Kallis II.

[Khabri420]

Peterson gets his maiden test hundred on debut! Well played!

[Cover Drive]

100 up

[kamranO]

congratulations Mr. Alviro Petersen for His century on debut

[kingusama92]

Well played Peterson.

[JustAnotherFan]

Good to see Amla there as well.

[kamranO]

Peterson becomes just the 3rd South African after Andrew Hudson and Jacques Rudoph to score a century on Test debut

[Cover Drive]

Lately soo many debutant getting century on debut. Another potential batsmans era?

[Cover Drive]

:)) :))

[Cover Drive]

Why did he remove Ihsant when he was bowling good?

[checkers.llvllaster]

Lately soo many debutant getting century on debut. Another potential batsmans era?

Except in Pakistan's case...

[Cover Drive]

Except in Pakistan's case...
:umarakmal :fawad

[WithLoveFromCanada]

switches back to Ind vs SA and now have to listen to Gavaskar.....will miss tubbs n slats ripping each other off..excellent duo tho! :(

[Cover Drive]

Gone

[JustAnotherFan]

Oh well, Kallis is here ...

[Cover Drive]

Zaheer gets another wicket

[Khabri420]

Jaheer get's the breakthrough. Peterson gone, great innings come to an end.

[Cover Drive]

Petersen goes for 100

[Romali_rotti]

Why is Peterson walking back with his head down ?? Should walk back up and high, awesome debut well played.....

[Cover Drive]

Oh well, Kallis is here ...
Lets hope both player start at 0 and play like last test match

[checkers.llvllaster]

:umarakmal :fawad

Too early to say, and we need more young batsman on our team..

[WithLoveFromCanada]

collapse starts.

[Cover Drive]

Why is Peterson walking back with his head down ?? Should walk back up and high, awesome debut well played.....
But not a great way to end it :(

[Momo]

Zaheer gets another wicket
Only Zaheer seems to be playing.

[adarsh_bang]

hhmmmpfhhh zaheer seems to be the only international level bowler in this line up.... others seem to be making up the numbers... dont be surprised to see another double hundred from amla

[Cover Drive]

Kallis's defence is really solid.

[adarsh_bang]

But not a great way to end it :(
lost his concentration... but what a debut ??? effortless hundred... was not intimidated at any point of time... good luck peterson

[Poison]

Why is Peterson walking back with his head down ?? Should walk back up and high, awesome debut well played.....

Yaar any player feels unlucky giving his wicket up to an Indian bowler :afridi

[Khabri420]

Mishra goes for a SIX...way to let off the pressure

[Cover Drive]

6 by Amla

[Momo]

collapse starts.
That's the only way we will see some of our Indian friends on this thread.

And Amla hits Mishra for a SIX.

[Cover Drive]

Amla's bat seems to be a good one

[Romali_rotti]

Why isnt Harbhajan bowling >?

[adarsh_bang]

Yaar any player feels unlucky giving his wicket up to an Indian bowler :afridi
lol... that is true in case of any other indian bowler right now... zaheer is better then his team mates though wrt bowling)

[adarsh_bang]

Why isnt Harbhajan bowling >?

[Cover Drive]

Alright guys I am off to bed

[Momo]

Just saw the Laxman drop. That's a bad one.

[wanted_desi]

Sreesanth was needed

[Cover Drive]

salaam adarsh bhai. Allah ka shukar hai. Aap kaese hain?

[Saqs]

Zaheer needs some support.

[WithLoveFromCanada]

harbhajan 1 maiden in this series to date..hahaha what hard luck! Even Danish would get some maidens in even if he gets a 100 in 30 overs.

[WithLoveFromCanada]

4 down

[abdul2009]

RSA choking now...
kallis goes

[adarsh_bang]

salaam adarsh bhai. Allah ka shukar hai. Aap kaese hain?
ALLAH ka fazal hae sir.... doing good :) my results expected today and i'm therefore unable to fully concentrate on the match :)

[Romali_rotti]

Wow what a catch by Laxman, actually I take it back now Indian fielding is not as bad as Pakistan's :D..

[Momo]

Gavaskar is happy now.

Start of a majestic choke?

[adarsh_bang]

finally!!!!!!! finally harbhajan reminds us that he is actually supposed to be a bowler and is supposed to take key wickets... gets kallis with a top spinner

[Momo]

ALLAH ka fazal hae sir.... doing good :) my results expected today and i'm therefore unable to fully concentrate on the match :)
Your result will be very good, inshaAllah.

[adarsh_bang]

hope harbhajan finds some form now....


err no.. i hope harbhajan is droppped from the test team after this game.... he's crap

[adarsh_bang]

Your result will be very good, inshaAllah.
jazak ALLAH... aameen ...
many thx momo ... may ALLAH bless you with success in both the worlds

[adarsh_bang]

ishanth bowls the n'th no ball of the innings... i dont understand why he was picked ahead of sreesanth

[adarsh_bang]

how does prince find himself in the playing 11 all the time ?????????

[Momo]

how does prince find himself in the playing 11 all the time ?????????
:)))

Prince gone. The majestic choke has started.

[Momo]

Duminy goes too. Bhajji on a hattrick.

[WithLoveFromCanada]

sa all out 315

[Momo]

sa all out 315
At this rate, SA all out 280.

[Khabri420]

Game on!

Good come back from Bhajji

[Momo]

At this rate, SA all out 280.
I mean 260.

[Momo]

Dale Steyn off the mark.

[WithLoveFromCanada]

I mean 260.

haha

btw steyn gets a one, still bhajji couldnt get a maiden with 2 wickets

[Momo]

Prince and Duminy playing the Moyo game (bat hiding behind pad). They get the Moyo result.

[Romali_rotti]

Harbhajan is a tricky character, if he doesnt get wickets for a while you can keep thumping him around but once he gets a wicket he turns into a different bowler.. We need to finish of the Africans today....

[Romali_rotti]

+1 7 down :D

[WithLoveFromCanada]

de villiers gone!

[Momo]

Devliers gone. This is a MASSIVE choke.

[Romali_rotti]

Man I feel ashamed I compared the Pakistani fielding with ours APOLOGIES!!!!!!!!!!!!! DIRECT HIT

[Momo]

This is a MMAASSIIVVEE choke.

[Romali_rotti]

Come on Ishant start peppering STeyn give him some of his own medicine...

[IAJ]

SA from 217/1 to 254/7 in no time. Chokers!

[WithLoveFromCanada]

this is where india at times is fking hot!crowd roaring, bhajji striking and direct hits in a jiffy.

[abdul2009]

Experts are'nt they the saffers!!! in choking.....


Just when you thought you cant choke from here, SA shows the way...

One of the reason they can never be as good as aussies.

[IAJ]

Come on Ishant start peppering STeyn give him some of his own medicine...

Hmm how can a spinner match a real fast bowler. Almost like asking Kaneria to bowl fast against Shoaib Akhtar..

[Momo]

This is very close to the Indian choke of first innings in the first Test.

[Romali_rotti]

Man I wonder if there will be a request a for Pitch report our very own by RA & ICC in regards to this, happened last time when SA chocked in similar manner cant see why it wont happen again :D...

[Momo]

Steyn should now throw the bat around and see if he can get 30 odd more for SA.

[kamranO]

So india turn the tables on proteas

[abdul2009]

Shameful very shameful from RSA...

India very lucky that they are playing the world champions in choking

[Khabri420]

What a lame sendoff from Ishant!

[Momo]

Harris gone.

[Waseem]

South Africans aren't choking, they are PAKISTANING :D

[kamranO]

Harris Gone :out

[Momo]

What a lame sendoff from Ishant!
Well it was as lame as Ishant himself.

[90MPH]

What has happened to S.A.? Very poor stuff from them, especially against a poor attack like this.

[BoomBoomCricket]

Bhaji Bhaji Bhaji !!

[BoomBoomCricket]

South Africans aren't choking, they are PAKISTANING :D

:)))

[Momo]

If Steyn doesn't start slogging, SA will be all out under 280.

[abdul2009]

Last 10 ovs 10/5 RR 1.0

[Waseem]

We can see the funny side of South African Collapse as we have seen our team doing at least once in a TEST match. It all started back in Sri lanka and we are continuously collapsing like this, these sudden collapses have cost us at least 5 test matches.

[Momo]

It seems Smith has had a little meeting with Modi. :moyo

[bantu]

Will smith declare now to put india into bat for 15 overs? :13:

[checkers.llvllaster]

Will smith declare now to put india into bat for 15 overs? :13:

No, he is not that stupid to lose out on runs at this stage...

[Momo]

Steyn should now throw the bat around and see if he can get 30 odd more for SA.
Steyn doesn't listen to me. Steyn gets out.
:danish

[Momo]

Nine down now. India will bat today.

[Romali_rotti]

+1 I predict a SA collapse soon...


+ 10 me and my predictions :D 261/9 .... DAIMEEEEEEEEEEEE I AM GOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD...East coast represent represent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Romali_rotti]

Nine down now. India will bat today.


Ummm I am kind a nervous about that Alliya actually.. Tommorow would be ideal..

[Momo]

Mishra has the most stupid celebration of them all.

[Momo]

Ummm I am kind a nervous about that Alliya actually.. Tommorow would be ideal..
South Africa want to end this match in four days too Alliya.

[Momo]

Ummm I am kind a nervous about that Alliya actually.. Tommorow would be ideal..
What's the rain scenario, Alliya?
:P

[Romali_rotti]

RA are you here lurking by any chance ?? IF so I would like to know your thoughts on how to bail the SA out this time, your excuses like the ones you made last time when SA chocked is what I am hoping for :D...

[Momo]

Bhajji bolwing as fast as Ishant today.

[Romali_rotti]

What's the rain scenario, Alliya?
:P


LOL NO RAIN..... Wait I will ask for that after I see India bat :D...

Morkel has modelled himself on Hayden. :inzi

[Momo]

Morkel has modelled himself on Hayden. :inzi
To be fair to him though, he looks better than Harris.

[Jo_Don]

Lol what a poor effort from the remaining batters. The last I checked the score it was 200/1, came back to see that it's 265/9 :/

[Romali_rotti]

To be fair to him though, he looks better than Harris.


Morkel is actually a decent bat, he should be coming up the order he has a solid defense..

[bantu]

Come on India .......finish them off...........dont let them a get a last wicket partnership of 200

[Khabri420]

Light offered.

[bantu]

No, he is not that stupid to lose out on runs at this stage...
Was jus kiddin mate.........

[Romali_rotti]

Yesssssssssssss Bad Lights, Looks Like India Is Not Batting Todayyyyyyyyy :d...

[Momo]

It seems rain is forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday. :)

[bantu]

+ 1 . Im happy that india is not batting today........
Yesssssssssssss Bad Lights, Looks Like India Is Not Batting Todayyyyyyyyy :d...

[saffer]

lol

Indian posters calmed down a little yet ? Choke this and choke that. We just beat you by an innings in your home turf.

But I agree...we did choke. No ways the skill of the Indian bowlers can explain us losing so many quick wickets. India's bowling is very very very bad. No way India are good enough to beat us unless we choke. I'm glad you all agree.

It looks like you are hungry.......go and eat a humble pie.......that might help

[JustAnotherFan]

I jinxed the game earlier on. Started watching earlier on when Alviro was on 97*. Sqw him get his century and get out. Carried on with Valentines Day (when my wife has a whip in her hand i have to listen!). When i woke up again, I saw they were 8 down. Eish.

[saffer]

RA are you here lurking by any chance ?? IF so I would like to know your thoughts on how to bail the SA out this time, your excuses like the ones you made last time when SA chocked is what I am hoping for :D...

No offence but last game on a total flattie you struggled to get 250. We need to choke to make 250..you guys need to bat well to get above that. S.A still favourites to win this game.

[saffer]

It looks like you are hungry.......go and eat a humble pie.......that might help

Oh I am humble. It's just so flattering that when we do badly everyone admits we're so good that we did it to ourselves by "choking", because no one else is good enough to have caused the demise of the brilliant South Africans. South Africans are so good that when we have a bad session everyone admits were better than the opposition by saying "we choked". The definition of choked is that you "should have won (ie : we're better than India) but you didn't. So everyone saying we choked is basically admitting we're better than India. Thanks.

[adit_sh]

No offence but last game on a total flattie you struggled to get 250. We need to choke to make 250..you guys need to bat well to get above that. S.A still favourites to win this game.

I give SA is a better team than India at almost all time ( given their record).

BUT BUT .....Regarding Choking - you guys do that more often than we score < 250:-) so thats evened up a bit.

[Romali_rotti]

No offence but last game on a total flattie you struggled to get 250. We need to choke to make 250..you guys need to bat well to get above that. S.A still favourites to win this game.


Which you are very capable of and I am sure you wont let me down this time as always.. To the 2nd highlighted biy; have to agree on that, with a bowler like Steyn in your side but I think we will win it..

[umerz]

OK...India did pretty well. but i believe Saffies will out firing all cylinders..India will have to bat well and first they need to score at least 400 and if possible try to bat SA out of this game..

[Sohaib-789]

Pakistan style collapse by SA :)))

[bantu]

So everyone saying we choked is basically admitting we're better than India. Thanks.

SA is definitely better than India.................but you have to be careful your choking skills are extending to the longer format as well............ :)))

[saffer]

SA is definitely better than India.................but you have to be careful your choking skills are extending to the longer format as well............ :)))

We might lose the game. Shrug. Can't it be that India bolwed well rather than we choked ?

If you say no , then you're basically admitting that South Africa are too good for India.

[Robert]

What has happened to S.A.? Very poor stuff from them, especially against a poor attack like this.

Let's see what Steyn does on this deck tomorrow.

[adit_sh]

We might lose the game. Shrug. Can't it be that India bolwed well rather than we choked ?

If you say no , then you're basically admitting that South Africa are too good for India.


Hey buddy saffer - SA has always been better than india on most of the occasion. No one is denying that. Though we are no.1 ....History is with you.

[Sultanofswing]

Can any body tell why is india is no 1 with this pathetic bowling

ya 266/9 on day one sums it up far better than our bowling attack sad to say

[dani2k]

Whoa! What a turn around. When the bowlers received (deservedly) all the brick bats for not bowling to potential and making the opposition pile up runs, it is only fair that they be given credit for their superb performance today..well played guys. Keep up the good work :14:

[Amir]

lol

But I agree...we did choke. No ways the skill of the Indian bowlers can explain us losing so many quick wickets. India's bowling is very very very bad. No way India are good enough to beat us unless we choke. I'm glad you all agree.

Yeah but it takes two teams to play cricket. If South Africa choked (like they did vs England one morning)....then....it takes that second team to make them choke as they are bowling. So credit to India.

I went to sleep at 218/1 and was thinking SA going to bat India out of the series. Instead, they batted them back into the series :P

I still cheer for SA though, smash em! IF they can bowl you out for 266...you can bowl them out for 166.

Hey buddy saffer - SA has always been better than india on most of the occasion. No one is denying that. Though we are no.1 ....History is with you.

:)) Don't bother with him. His logic is unbelievable. Its like saying last year when SA beat Aus in Aus...eerrr SA bowlers didn't bowl well....just Australian batsmen batted badly.

He doesn't understand that both instances hinge on one another.

[srg]

This is very poor cricket from SA's lower middle order..They squandered a great chance here. Avg first innings score at eden is 420+.. I watched most part of the match and I don't think the pitch has any demons in it. Remember SA were 215/1 at one stage with Amla and Alviro striking at over 4 runs per over without many problems.. I think the Indian bowlers were also got charged up after Ishant's good spell to amla.

We might lose the game. Shrug. Can't it be that India bolwed well rather than we choked ?

If you say no , then you're basically admitting that South Africa are too good for India.
If you lose this game,it doesnt matter if you choked yourself or indian bowlers made you choke............ it will just be "you werent good enough"
If you read my post again,I have already admitted this SA team is better than the Indian team...

I am willing to wait till india complete their first innings batting.....

Well done India. We were laughing our butts off when SA were 200 odd for 1 wicket but this is an awesome comeback.

Although India needs to handle Steyn if they want to win.

[saqlain]

Good bowling performance by India. SA at one point were crusing but good job by Khan and Bhajji. Lets see how will Indian respond to Steyn. If there is one player who can turn around things for SA it would be Steyn.

India needs to bat big and bat once. Declare around 350-400 ahead. If they can actually forge together partnerships.

[WithLoveFromCanada]

its a real shame this series ends here, should have been a 4 or 5 match series. Would have been really great spectacle, something that would have motivated our players too to perform like that.

30 needed to avoid the follow on

Another test at Mohali would be so good

[rvd]

Harris is going to be exposed in this test. In both innings Indians were under a lot of pressure and had to play him cautiously. Hes going to get owned today.
