All the BCCI batsmen today batted better than Tendulkar. He should thank Prior and buy him a nice gift.

Before Tendulkar started his crawl, they were going at about 4.3 runs per over.

And it is not just this match I am talking about. Tendulkar has been this way for a long time now. He always crawls even when the situation demands otherwise.

And that's good ? Does it change the fact that he is a better WK than Dhoni and that Yuvraj is a better test batsman than Dhoni.

Replays and sniko meter of karthiks dismisal suggested that there was no touch on the bat..

but on an interview with star cricket karthik admitted he did get a small feather like touch on the ball :)

Roll out India for less than 450 and we still have a more than a decent chance of forcing a positive result. The Indians scored over 400 at Cape Town last year and were then soundly beating so there is still some hope of a first than hopefully third innings capitulation. One more wicket than I think given the surface and what not we would have had an 'ok' day.

Matthew Prior crap, i was really hoping this wouldn't happen but it has. Hopefully he can sort himself out quick behind the stumps because he has the batting ability these days to hold down a place for a long while.

The Matt Prior moment really made me cringe. Not only did he drop the ball , but his attempt to get there was horrible. For a left armer , going over the wicket , the ball isn't likely to be going to the leg side , not that much anyway. So why his left foot went the wrong way is beyond me.

It was a horrible attempt. He made , what would have been a relatively easy chance , look extremely diffiicult. Hes gone the wrong way with his left foot for one thing. And then dived at the ball two early , and what do you know, hes made another hash of it.

DROP HIM! How many more is he going to have to make a hash of.

I understand your idea. I too agree completely with you. But, Which other English WK is good with both bat and gloves ATM?

Yeah England still in with a chance no doubt about that....that wicket of Ganguly has defeinitely opened things up.
India need to make 500 imo....if they do that that means they would have batted to tea or just after and then I think it will be very tough for England.

I'm a little bit wary of drawing too much into the Cape Town test....to me, India threw that game away...they were what 2-80 with a 40 run lead from the first dig ...really should have done a lot better than the sub-200 score they eventually got.
Whether they have learnt from that, time will tell.
But I think this pitch may have a bit more in it for Kumble as the game progresses.

England did make 600 here against RSA in 2003, but I think England had a better batting lineup back then

So even stevens......but yeah I think if India can see of that new ball without losing a wicket, I find it hard to see them losing the game.
