India is a fail team. They never won any ODI series in S.A while even WORLD'S poor batting team Pakistan won ODi series in south Africa . India is a joke team. They even can't stop single run. Club level fielding.

Team India now No 1 ODI team

How you fail to see a great game it was and resort to taking cheap shots at India. It was the best test game in a while. In fact both sides went with their heads high as no team lost. SA indeed made a great comeback as anyone would expect from them being the No 1 team. India played well too but Dhoni could have done better by bringing Shami early in the attack and perhaps setting better fields.

But no use telling to this to a pakistani whose team did not even get to double digits in the test.

I can sniff something burning there

It were the SAFFERS who were defending and leaving deleveries when they needed 16 off 2 overs. So cut with your nonsense, if anyone you have to blame SA for not going for outright victory.

What a match. What a performance from No 1 and No2 team. One of the greatest test matches that ended in a draw.

Some might say its a psychological victory for SA. But no one gave India a chance itself for this test to begin with. The most nastiest pitch in SA where even teams like ENgland Australia and NZ got bowled out for double digit score against the same SA attack. So its kinda psychological victory for india as well.

Though rather disappointed that India couldnt wrap it up on the last day. But then again, SA are no 1 not for nothing.

I really wish it was a 5 match series, first test was such a treat to watch.

Lol

They should consider themselves lucky that SA gifted them draw because they were too defensive when all they were needed 5 runs per hour with 5 wicket in hands

Jeet ka khwab chikna choor

Gifted the draw? LOL

The only thing that was given as a gift was from India to SA. Yes, India actually bowled 1 over extra, ie 91 overs instead of the allotted 90 overs due to their superior over rate. Yet they couldnt win inspite of this generosity.

Daunting task ahead of India to save the second test match.

Tomorrow will be the biggest day of this tour!!!

Hope they have it in them to play out 90 overs!!!

I didn't expect Indian Team to win a single game on this Tour, especially the Test Matches, as we have an inexperience Batting Line up. Kohli and Pujara has to bat for most of the day, else we are doomed or may be Rain God can save us.

Thats what im hoping for- RAIN or poor light.

And i was cursing the light on the first day

Pujara will be the key no doubt.

They have to take each session at a time and have to stay there for the 5th day, If they can keep the wickets for the first two sessions they can cross the bridge easily.

I want our Batsmen to Fight out and don't want Rain God to save us. Let's hope for the best!!! Kal Dekhte hai, Kya Gul Khilati hai Team India.

Tomorrow is the 5th and last day of the test match. It would be next to impossible for our Batsmen to bat through entire day. I hope Miracle Happens.

First of all it is not a miracle to bat through the 5th day.

Secondly from the scores of the innings through out the test it is evident that the pitch is getting eased as the play goes on.

thirdly Indians can hang on, they proved it in Durban test. They have to take it session by session.

First of all it won't be easy for India to bat through the 5th day.

Secondly, when Styen and company will bowl tomorrow, you'll realize its not an easy pitch to bat on.

Thirdly the way over Middle order has played, I'm not confident that we can hang on, Duran is Past, so lets bury it. We have take it session by session & for this Kholi and Pujara has to bat through.
