Was kallis dropped deliberately regarding National anthem issue or did he really have some knee issue ?

South Africa won the toss and elected to bat first.They seem to be in trouble at 28/3.

Awesome come back by India taking 3 wickets in last 10 balls. Had there been no bad light, should have easily wrapped up South Afrca.Very good match in the offing

South africa are just trying to delay there doom before being bowled out and having to let the indian batsmen in letting virenda belt them for 50 and dravid being given a century

Well, Brian it seem like you were right. Sehwag was "belted", back to the pavilion that is. As we like to say here in SA "thanks for coming". LOL

I feel sorry for Sreesanth,Ntini and the umpire denied him a clear 5 wicket haul when Ntini didn't walk after he middled it.How the umpire missed it i will never know,is Koertzen umpiring there as well.

Well, Dravid now gone just 89 runs short of his century. Any other predictions. SA right back in the game but I fear that once the ball is old, its going to be tough for the bowlers.

I dont know why the umpires dont even have a word with Nel when he is consistently talking to the batsman. From the expression I can make out that he is not exactly talking sweet things.

A little exchange makes it interesting. But he always overdoes it.

I am surprised to see Pollock get the ball after 14 overs. Does Smith think that Pollock is not as good a bowler of the new ball as others in the team? As an Indian fan, I certainly dont mind it though.
