SA tour of India, Sept 15 - Oct 23

[meninblue]

Rohit sweeps Senuran for a sixer at square leg. He has hit 5 sixers so far in this innings

[meninblue]

Aiden drops Rohit at first slip on 107. Disappointment for Phillander.

[meninblue]

4 and that's 103 for Iindia for no loss of wicket. This opening partnership needs to convert this into a mammoth partnership Hope they carry on this partnership beyond 200 runs.

Hope turning into reality. 202/0. Excellent opening part ership

[Arthur Crabtree]

This is turning into a drubbing. SA have to hope this is a shirtfront.

[meninblue]

Rain did not allow a session and few overs today. Might have some rain in next 4 days as well. India should look to bat 100 more overs.

I think SA will be hoping it rains for the next 4 days

[mikesiva]

Rohit out for 176.

Agarwal goes for 215.

[sussexpob]

What kind of pitch is it?

[Arthur Crabtree]

After all that strife, Elgar gets one in his first over.

Have to look up record Indian opening partnerships.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Oh, Mankad and Roy in Chennai v NZ. That was the world record. This one is third for India, behind Dravid and Sehwag in Lahore. I can imagine that pitch.

G Smith and McKenzie have the current record for SA v BD, two better than the Mankad and Roy.

[mikesiva]

India 502-7 declared.

Maharaj 3-189

That must have been a lot of work.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Harder than CC1.

[mikesiva]

Markham continues to struggle against spin.

Theunis de bruyne fails again. With a Test average of 20 he is the weakest link.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Three quick wickets for the spinners after the pace bowlers bowl four overs between them. Another one sided series in India.

[yuppie]

Good rearguard action from Faf and Elgar.
