Dhoni has a problem in Tests for sure. I think Karthik is more deserving in tests. And we missed Sachin badly today. Very very bad batting.

I do not believe there is need for panic yet. This has happened before and India have managed come out of the woods. Come second innings and India will more than compensate for the first innings debacle.

How long can India afford to rely on Sachin? IMO Dravid is all but finished at international level...

They will have to. With all probablity south africa will get a lead of around 300 runs. And then 500 with be the least score india will need to make. Having said that they have managed superb comebacks in the past. The most famous when india were trailing by 280 odd runs after the first innings against australia. Went on to make 650 and bowled out aus for 220 and won by 120 odd runs.

Mckenzie out to harbhajan, caught at first slip. 100/2

Well i guess if they can bowl South Africa out for less than 200 they can still get back in the game.A tall order though as it only takes one partnership to take them totally out of the game.

With 14 wickets gone in just 55 overs we can say that the Draw is out of the equation.

SA just need to keep their head to win here. India will have to bowl very well to keep the lead below 200 then bat very well to have a target over 200 and then bowl very well again. They just have too much to do.

So who bought Steyn in IPL ?

South Africa 223-4 . I think the match is as good as lost for india. No hope of a comeback from here.
