dale steyn, you are quality... ridiculous!

[Buzz]

86-6 - really not pretty for the indians. Morkel and Steyn have run through the top order...

[Canners]

the Saffers look like they're bowling very well and look pretty rapid at that ......

Harbahjan looks like a kid wearing his dads kit

[Tumo]

Take a bow Mark Boucher! Outstanding!

[Jeet]

Steyn and Morkel are both truly out of this world. How many times you see a green top and the bowlers getting carried away with the movement. No chance of that with Steyn and Morkel.

Once again Raina fails and a superior batsman(Pujara) is carrying the drinks. Indian selectors get paid too much and are useless. I'd do the job for 10% of their wage and get the correct players in the starting XI.

Just out of interest Jeet what would your starting 11 be for india? Also what do you think of Laxman?

[Jeet]

Only shame for SA was that Steyn and Morkel didn't have a more potent 3rd seamer. Tsotsobe was mediocre. If they had someone better India wouldn't have reached 50!

Gambhir
Sehwag
Pujara
Sachin
VVS
Dravid
Dhoni
Ashwin
Zaheer
Ishant
Munaf/RP Singh

This is only for this series. With Zaheer injured I'd would liked Irfan Pathan to play but he's got a serious back injury.

Laxman and Dravid are both under pressure from Kohli and Rahane. Also someone solid like Badrinath. Time has caught up with Dravid and Laxman.

I think Chopra deserves another chance in the team. Rahane also is pushing for a place. Players like Raina, Rohit Sharma, Yusuf Pathan etc have been affected by playing too much one day stuff. Abhinav Mukund should be brought along slowly

[thedon]

India are notorious slow starters on seaming, swinging wickets. Once they get used to the conditions I am sure they will win the series!!

[procricket]

As suggested before India's batsman v SA bowlers

[Jeet]

I think Chopra deserves another chance in the team. Rahane also is pushing for a place. Players like Raina, Rohit Sharma, Yusuf Pathan etc have been affected by playing too much one day stuff. Abhinav Mukund should be brought along slowly

Chopra is getting on abit now. The rest should be in over the next 18-24 months.

man, morkel and steyn were impressive

[400notout]

Saffas look number 1 at home no question. Steyn and Morkel are a joy to watch, absolute masterclass! Any else notice how jumpy sky's cameras were, bit awkward to watch!?
