India v South Africa - 1st test match

India still have 158 to go to think about win the match and I think these two batsmen will be key for team India to avoid defeats by Innings.

 

This match is empirical proof that the old guard- tendulkar, dravid and laxman are all irreplaceable......

 

Seems like Tendulkar is setting for another biggy....

 

Tendulkar in to 90's now.. India 184/4 still trail by 141 runs.

 

Sachin Tendulkar got 99 runs now .. and IND 190/4 in 63.4 overs... IND trails by 134 runs

 

India trail by 134 runs with 6 wickets remaining

Day 4 Drinks. India manage to keep up the wickets this session like yesterday

 

finally there is something to cheer for Indian fans Sachin's 46th Test ton, third in a row

 

A 100 for Sachin first against South Africa in India

 

sachin is gone

 

yeah odd luck

India trail by 125 runs with 5 wickets remaining

40 overs remaining for the day

 

Make that 3 remaining..

 

Current partnership 50 runs

between saha and H. Singh would you believe it ?

 

Yeah and broken too...

 

India trails by 33 runs.. three wickets and 14 overs in hand.. let hope for the best..

 

Back to back 50 partnership

now between Saha and Khan. India trail by just 16runs now.

 

trial by 8 runs.
Nice if they can avoid innings defeat., and what can we expect, when
playing without the likes of Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman

 

lost another wicket. still trail by 7 runs.

South africa need 2 wickets to win the test match.

 

In the last 25 years India have suffered innings defeat only thrice. All of them have come in the last ten years. And interestingly, all three of them have come against South Africa. What a performance by SA in this Test.

 

India lost the match!
1st test match defeat under the captaincy of dhoni

 

and now, SA is world's no. 1 team in test match rankings with 123 points
