On the 1st day, within 2 hours, our bowlers got to bowl on the pitch on which the SA bowlers blew our batsmen off. What we see - they bowl like ladies - with no pace, bounce and swing. Pathetic. Instead of bolwing bouncers at their chest and throat, what is bowled are friendly deliveries, below knee height and drivable length balls or simply wild ones. Yorkers are bowled once in 5 tests.
Sree, RP and Pathan are not good enough to play a test match. They are overated and they take wickets if the wickets helps in swing. Today, even that didnt happen. Bhajji is too overated and Kumble will take wickets only on the 4th and 5th day. The batting and bowling is simply disappointing. Dhoni has forgotten how to bat. Yuvraj will play a mind blowing innings in a ODI, once in 30 matches. All heroes - but zeros on the field.
This match will go in favour of SA by the 4th day, unless Calcutta, 2003 is repeated. Dravid / Laxman - can you do it again?
