proteas take on india

Yip, very good performance by the BlitsBokke - to come back from 14 zip down against NZ takes some doing - some great commitment on defence imo; as the commentator said maybe it was just 'meant to be' - suppose the cherry on the cake would have been a South African winning the golf as well :

So no interest today :

At first glance, this pitch should suit the Indian batsmen a lot better - no Steyn and no Morkel probably means that we will have to put 350 on the board :S

Another quality knock by the youngster. Still yet to score a fifty, great to see him convert into big ones. Highest ever score in a 3 ODI series. -D

Lovely stuff - dropped twice, but he made the most of it (tu)

3 100s in 3 consecutive ODIs - Quinton de Kock follows Zaheer Abbas, Saeed Anwar, Herschelle Gibbs and AB de Villiers

lovely track and some short boundaries and a much weakened attack so 300 very achievable

I agree - especially with no Steyn and Morkel

Kallis just got short-changed - why have we bowed to the Indians with regards to the DRS ?

Shocking decision. The whole test could be won or lost on that decision. Huge inside edge there. The Indians should be forced to use the DRS or they don't play tests. Really P...sd off!:X

guys look like they playing for a draw(td)

all the experts saying why sa never went for the win but why didn't indian not go for win.no matter what sa does it's always wrong

We came so close - yet looking at the 'bigger' picture - had we gone for it and got bowled out, we would have been one down in a two match series - with no way of winning the series, now we still have a chance - also we drew a game that most people expected us to lose at the start of the final day- so after Faf got run out I think the decision to first make sure we can not lose (and try to win it win boundaries of the last 3 balls) was the right one.

Lots of if's and but's, but IF Tahir could have held on to a fairly straight-forward catch off his own bowling to dismiss Pujarah for 50 something, we probably would have won in a canter :S
