In a bowling pitch where everybody fails, only Sourav tried to create some resistance followed by Dhoni, Laxman, and Pathan. However, his fight is not enough to revert the strategic mistake made by Kumble. As a captain people do not make this kind of mistake in school cricket. What a shame!!

The green top pitch has been personally acknowledged by Dale Steyn in the post innings press meet where he innocently admitted that he was surprised at Kumble's decision to bat. Why do we expose our stupidity by criticising the highest scorer from Indian team????Multiple "WRONG-UNS" cannot make Kumble's error on the ILL ADVISE of Gary Kirsten "RIGHT"

Moreover, when the best bat of the country Sachin with the best fast bowler of the country Ishant are resting to play in IPL where they will earn MONEY MONEY MONEY, what is the point in blaming Sourav, who has never stopped playing gamely for national pride smilingly under captains who are totally lacking cricket sense?

Oh my god such a deadly bowling pitch, isnt it, all south african batsmen failed, even dhoni just scored a 50 but dada scored massive 87. Bowling pitch????? South Africa scoring 500 runs in a innings this is a bowling pitch. The only problem was the pitch was helping the bowlers with the new ball, once the ball got old batting was easier and as it is Ganguly came to bat when the ball was not new atleast.
We all know what ganguly scored on the lively pitch in Perth against Australia. If india has to win on lively pitches like Perth, Sachin, Laxman and Dravid the fabulous 3 has to perform.
