The Hope/Prayer Thread !

[philcric]

Too early in the piece, but already looking ominous for India. AB and DuP taking the game away. There's a fair bit in the pitch and SA bowling could be lethal here.

 

Hope we get couple of wickets before SA reach 150  

[philcric]

Okay, a wicket fell while I was making the thread. 

 

126/4

 

Hope we get another one before 150.

 

[philcric]

Yes !!!!

 

142/5

 

Now, another 2 wickets before 175  

[Shunya]

lol

its working...why just 2 wickets before 175. All out bol bhai

[philcric]

155/5

 

Hoping for 175/6

Now, don't be silly or greedy.

 

My hopes and prayers are realistic.

 

[philcric]

202/5 damn.

 

Make it 225/6 plz 

[philcric]

Yes !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

202/6

 

 

[philcric]

225/7 plz 

[philcric]

A dolly dropped by Dhawan 

 

Could have been 203/7

 

[philcric]

Philander bowled by Shami.

 

221/7

 

Now, get another one before tea (2-3 overs).

 

Make it 230/8 

 

[The Dark Horse]

Pray for good slip catching, that might help

[philcric]

230/7 at tea. SA slightly ahead.

 

Ideally for India, should have been 30 runs less and 2 wickets more.

 

[philcric]

Need a wicket in the next 5 runs to make it 240/8 

[philcric]

Slipping away. 20 run partnership. 241/7.

 

At least 250/8 plz 

 

[maniac]

Maharaj will get a 50 as per acumen

[WC2011INDIA]

I am confident that Rohit will score a ton..possibly double on this flat track. Rest will suck.

[philcric]

Crap. Dhawan's drop proving costly.

 

All out for less than 300 

[philcric]

Maharaj gone run out. Bonus wicket.

 

258/8.

 

Come on, next 2 within 17 runs so that 275 all out.

 

[philcric]

270/8.

 

Okay, back to being okay with anything less than 300
