    Seems like Indian batsmen having no answers for Steyn's speed and swing.

    It seems like Dale Steyn is playing havoc with the Indian batsmen. Looks like it can be all over on day 4 already. Hopefully we'll see a great fight back from India.

    I am surprised how a defeat brings out the skeletons from the cupboard. We never get to hear such things during good times! :eek:

    I think SA is on the top now and one or two more wicket and India is out of the game.

    This news of group-ism in indian team is very old..Do you remember when media started questioning about dhoni-sehwag dispute and then dhoni fetched whole team in the press conference? That was in t20 world cup I guess!
    Even in last series vs bangladesh, removal of amit mishra from 2nd test inspite of his brilliant performance made some statements.

    If Sachin can play a cameo India may save their face. Only he does have the talent and technique to battle the professionalism and planning of South Africans.

    But there was no groupism at that time. It was simply Dhoni against Sehwag, who was excluded for his no-show in the practice session! :eek:

    If Laxman was their then we can hoping to see such a fight back but now only Dhoni is their who have experience so I couldn't see India provide solid fight back. But you never know No.1 might give some inspiration to make a good comeback.;)

    Remember the test match where Bangladesh managed to give a target of 2 runs? :D I guess it's the situation is pretty much the same, except the then winners are the losers here ;)

    Yes India lose 3rd wicket and still 222 runs behind! Sachin is playing well and only he can avoid innings defeat for team India.

    Nothing can be said in the game of cricket. If India manage to score a lead over 150 and there is a chance for india to get wickets on the 5th day.
