    yeah now laxman into 90's and Dhoni into 80's if they two manage to get a ton

    Then we have 4 hundreds in a test innings that deserves No.1 Spot :)

    I guess both will finish their centuries and then play some quick cricket for next 15-20 overs before we declare the innings. Mahi wants to put anything 300+ lead on South Africa.:)

    Yes if both maintain same Run rate then we can put something 80-90 runs in next 20 Overs and it will be enough for us and we will have something 10-12 overs to bowl today.:)

    Yes,4 wkts are still remaining,if Dhoni and Laxman make some fast runs to increase the total,it will be good for team India and give SA 10/15 overs to play today.

    Laxman is on 97 and Dhoni is on 85 at the moment. I think they are eying on inning defeat

    Great partnership of 259 runs and exactly 10 overs remaining for south africa. India needs some real quick wickets today.
