So after 62 wicket less overs, Dale Steyn comes alive and takes 3 in 12 balls.

Steyn is on absolute fire!

Must be angry that Big Vern took his number 1 ranking! ;)
No better sight in world cricket than watching Steyn steam in!

No one backing up steyn's spell. Don't know why South Africa went with spin after tea.
Let the advantage slip. Was a chance of knocking them over cheaply and batting big.

Vern taking the No. 1 bowling slot? I would pick Steyn over Vern every day of the week and twice on Sundays!
Mind you.......the 3 of them are on fire with Stryn, Vern and Morkle!! And Kallis to back them up for this test at least! That's some firepower!

Be much tough on all 3 once kallis goes, especially given their lack of a spinner worth picking,

With all due respect to Dale Steyn, he was gifted wickets by the Indian batsmen and he got lucky with a couple down the leg side..he has toiled hard and got lucky..none of the batsmen really seemed troubled by him.

Strange approach by Dhoni...he batted like he was trying to set a 4th innings target for SA..

Hopefully the Proteas can up the RR on day 3.

The Indians still seem heavy legged after their Jo'Burg epic bowling stint.

I think there's a realistic chance of the Protead scoring over 400 on day 3.

Then unleash Steyn on the Indians again.

You need to calm down a bit, you make your dislike of Indians very clear and there's no need to keep banging your drum. Nobody said the Indian bowlers were any better.

Hope Kallis gets a 100 in his final game. Would be fitting

Dhoni's captaincy is pretty poor. Overcast, light fading and behind in the game, yet no new ball.

Umpires have probably said 'take the new ball and we go off for light'.

JP Duminy living on borrowed time...

Yet another inept performance and still woeful against spin...

After this Test, I'd like to see Faf move up to 4. Don't get why he's at 7. He's averaging 60+.

I'd like McLaren to come in at 7. With Philander and Robin Peterson at 8 and 9, that's a lot of batting.

Then either Elgar, Miller or de Kock to replace Duminy.
