Results has been declared South Africa taking series by 1-0 and all our prepartion for IPL matches will be completed during this series only.
one innings is gone. and we have an other innings. and still the last match hero 6 world class batsman we have. who can give a better chances for a draw.and two class spinners who can swindle SA's if they concentrate. last match we all are happy bcos we had good emtertainment and this time they failed. in fact more than, they are the one who will be more unhappy and no point we sitting in front of a stupid box and type whatever comes to our thought. let us give them hope and they return gifts for the whole cricket loving nation.i hope everyone here will agree and kindly stop abusing them.

U r 100% correct. May be our decision of batting first may be wrong. Really the wicket might have helped the bowlers in the first one and a half hour. Unfortunately we were all out. No player will ever play for getting out. As you said we may still play good.

That's the spirit one should show on the field. Everybody has a bad/good day. This time we have a complete TEAM bad day. No worries, just concentrate on what we have in our hand now...2nd innings. We have caliber and strenght to outplay SA in 2nd innings. Fold your sleeves and get back to business in 2nd innings. I am still behind my indian players who are playing non-stop cricket since way before of TT World Cup.

Let us all send a petition to the Indian Cricket Team and the BCCI to donate all of their revenues for this match to charity. Maybe that would help to lessen the disgust of the spectators.
well...ludicrous performance by india...but Kudos goes to this fast bowler- he bowled his heart out- quality and pace.Is it me or do his 140km/h bowls look wayyyy faster than any indian bowlers 138ishkm/h bowl.hmm...its a mighty good effort. For sheer joy of bowling witness the 3rd innings at chennai and the 1st innings at this ground. Fast bowlings back people- not about the pitch- its about the attitude. Well done Stein!

Deepa, appreciating the opponent even when your own team had done badly is very commendable.
I think the australian success hangover is still prevailing in the minds of our cricketers.Our kumbleappa(remember yedyurappa of karnataka cm fame;anil attended his swearing ceremony as both of them belong to lingappa clan)made a grave mistake in batting first.Also,he is not amongst wickets as well while bowling.So,there is need for introspection and anil should better call yedurappa for guidance as yedu is all set to become CM.
these fellows who got more money are concentrating on IPL than national side games, they shoould not be blamed but the BCCI should be blamed because it made the game for the purpose of money, shame on part of batsman and the team composition is also very useless it is the team with out tendulkar, mere presence of him will make a lot of difference, even if he doesnt perform occasionally. its shit on part of dhoni and laxman to have wasted the opportunity to save side from blushes.only god can save game for india.
We are the most unpredictable Indians,someime we leave all far behind and at time we let others go ahead like anything. See the scoring 1st test 600 ,2nd test not even 50 . So guys don't start jumping if you see Irfan Pathan with tons of run and Wasim Jaffer with 8 wickects in one innings and don't panic if you if all top order batsman score in single digit.
