    Why is it that every time Sharma has bowled an over with either a wicket or a dropped chance, he gets changed?

    I just wanted to post words like that. I've checked both Harris'and Morkel's stats. On average they stay in for over 30 balls in test cricket. It's not over yet.

    Well, you're right about that, OTOH, as SilentStriker pointed out, India can thank their 2007(?) series win in england to the wheather gods. Anyway, this is just great test cricet to watch!

    Do you really think Aussies would play THIS way when in THIS position? Taking off your only fast bowler when yout have just taken the new ball? Conservative fields?

    I agree with you that 450 overs shouls be bowled in test cricket. What I meant to say is that, apart from being hindered by bad light, India seems to lack the bite to finish this off. And for that, they can blame themselves.

    So, Sharma was shut up (having a new ball....), for bowling a wikcet taking ball, or what????

    Hmmm, India have more than enough time though. If they don't make it, they have themselves to blame, not the light.

    I agree, but there is one thing to add, I think. SA's last missed chance (out of many) seems to be a while ago. Could it be that the pitch is flattening out a lot and might even continue to do so tomorrow? If SA can bat through day 4 and keep some wickets intact, we might have a good game ahead!

    A bit too one-sided to be awesome.....

    Does a great debut mean a great player

    No...... However, I guess it's far more likely that players with a poor or average debut, will turn out to become top class players, than a poor player playing his solitude great innings on debut.

    Jeeeezzzzzz dudes, I was being cynical there. I thought that was quite obvious.

    According to cricinfo, there are 12 overs left. Is there some truth in that?

    Maybe it is not fair to judge Duminy on his bowling in this stage of the match, but........, against England he at least made up for his poor form with the bat, by doing reasonably OK with the ball. And before this test, I would have argued he has a good pair of hands in the field. But now he...

    Cricket in Olympics

    To be honoust: the Olympics are, in many ways, a collection of sports that otherwise do not get any attention at all / sports that otherwise don't matter at all. And if these sports get attention otherwise, the Olympics mean crap. Track & Field, being the pinnacle of the Olympics, are the...

    What I was thinking. Test Cricket at the top level, and this is the very top level, is really about taking chances. SA have let themsleves down.
