Dale Steyn is just a new face and does not know what he is talking about. India has a formidable team that has silenced and demolished the mighty Aussies. Steyn and Co will wet their pants at the mere sight of Aussies. India can get SA out for another 100 or less, perhaps less by the way Bhajji is bowling. If India can give SA a target of 150 , India will win. SA cannot score more than 150 in the 4th innings on this wicket. India will win. We are too good for them.

First get SA out and then talk. They are already 223/4 with no signs of getting out soon. If SA score 400 which looks likely, India will crumble again in 2nd innings as they are poor batters in 2nd innings anyways. We dont have anyone like Gavaskar,Amarnath or Vishwanath who used to thrive playing under pressure in 2nd innings and hold the innings for long. This team plays like they do in T20.This match will be over in less than 3 days and Indian team should be ashamed of such performance, no matter how bad the pitch is (which it is not going by the way SA is batting so easily). They are not always going to get dead batting pitches and should learn to bat on green tops as well.

Mr AK Roy
Your message "don't think like a sardar" is extremely insulting to a religion and insulting a religion is a crime under the Indian Constitution.... loose comments like these arent going to impress any one.... mind it. I as a Sikh feel insulted on such cheap comments when u very well know that today India wouldnt be India without the Sikh Community, with due respect to all religions u yourself instead of Mr Roy would probably have been a Mr Khan if the Sikh Community wouldnt have existed.
Your message is poor in taste and reflects shabby thoughts of mind. I dont want to retaliate with similar comments on your religion or community but note that similar efforts arent appreciated.

Plz take note and avoid comments on Religion which are loose and hurt the feelings of religious communities , that too on sports links.!!!!

Man u r taking it to far.. There are Millions of ppl not only in india but around the world that share common sense related jokes on Sardar. Can u ban all Sardar Jokes? Not only Sardar but many other community have little banter associated with there community. Its not the comment on any individual, so take it sportingly, all though if u not then also no one bothers as the jokes on Sardar's will still going to entertain world

I am referring to a religion being called out in inferior terms , a religion and community has better things to do than entertain the world.
We can talk seperately if u want to know why I have objections on a religion being called out seperately in inferior terms, just imagine the same with ur religion , I am not sure its the greatest thing in the world.
Anyway on a sports link , this discussion is even more unsuitable , lets communicate via email if u want to discuss the same more with me

Mr. Mandeep, Good to make the point clear. Ppl make some insensible comment without thinking about how it affects another belief/community.
I am not sikh. But these kind of jokes irritate me to the core. This is not pertaining to your point that without sikhs all ppl here will be khan. But coz its a good religion and people following it(atleast the people whom I know) are wonderful people and nice people.

Mandeep,
it is touching to read your reply, but it seems to me that this might be the first time you have been on REDIFF. It'been a long traditon on rediff by letting people make fun of each other's religious-; caste-; language- related issues!! Please don't take comments from morons like Mr AK ROY get to your heart!! Majority of the rediff forum writers write without any accountability!! Take care man!!
