2nd Test: South Africa vs India

[Jim05]

7/103 now its the saffers under pressure. Lets see what the perennial chokers are made of.

[Interceptor]

South Africa bowled out for 131

The Turbanator 4/10 and Khan (3/36) returning to do most of the damage.

[NFC]

Sehwag.

Dreadful shot, Tsotsobe gets a cheapy.

[NFC]

Morkel gets a wicket with a bouncing GEM!

And he gets right in the batsman's grill to send him off with a big 'CMON'!

And he gets right in the batsman's grill to send him off with a big 'CMON'!

And 10% of his match fee will disappear.

Another one gone! Tsotsobe is finding things easier in this Test!

[NFC]

Tsotsobe gets another, this time it's Dravid with the poor shot, feet stuck on the crease, bit of a slash outside off.

India in trouble.

Not sure, I certainly wouldn't fine him for that.

I wasn't saying that from a spectator point of view; more like a harsh referee. Good stuff from Morkel. Tendulkar looks so at ease again, you have to wonder when his powers will wane! Maybe 5 years?

[spell_check]

Here's a possibility with 35 overs left. We may see only the second occasion in Test match history, where part of all four innings occur in the same day.

[NFC]

Steyn back into the attack, gets Tendulkar first ball.

Hint of inswing does the job, beautiful bit of bowling.

There's a chance! India already 4 down!

[Interceptor]

I assume the other one was the SAf vs England match in 1889 they were talking about?
32 wickets fell all on one day and England won by 8 wickets!

No, it wasn't even pre WW2! It was a question I posed once in here:

[NFC]

Smith the first wicket to fall, India needed that badly.

3/111 chasing 303

kallis 12 and AB 17

I think they will chase down the runs and get the win

[mal]

SA all out 215
IN win by 87 runs
1-1 series
IN made 433 runs in total this Test and still won
VVS LAXMAN makes 96 in the 2nd dig, he does it again when the pressure is on
Next highest match score was 39* by Prince

Sreenanth to Kallis
Just short of a length, that rears and has Kallis fending the ball to avoid being struck
The ball balloons of the gloves and Kallis is caught
Sreenanth and the Indians absolutely joyous in the disMiissAL of the South African run machine
The Indians jubilantly celebrate
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT
Umpire Steve Davis calls for a video review to see if it was a No Ball
The Indians temper thier celebrations
Kallis now awaits a reprieve
The Test is now in a void transition
Sreenanths delivery is shown to be just legal
Kallis is given out
South Africa lose the Test
But what if this decision had been reversed ?

They would be awarded an extra run, there would be an extra delivery in that over and Kallis would remain at the crease.

AB DE VILLIERS faces SINGH
SINGH bowling around the wicket, gets one to straighten
AB pushes forward and is struck on the pad
HOWZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
is given out LBW
AB walks off appearing bemused
Replays show the ball would be bouncing about 6-9 inches above the stumps
No referral[I conclude that 2 referrals must have been used already ]
THIS TIME THE UMPIRE DOES NOT CALL FOR A 3RD UMP TO SEE IF IT WAS A NO BALL
As Lightning Mcqueen points out:If the decision is changed = 1 less wicket, 1 more run, 1 more ball to be bowled .
Did this decision turn the Test Match ?
