Its not always a dream if you guys start trying to follow simple things like the weather report which I do or listen to the right guys in the commentary instead of following Sanjay Manjrekar.

 

 

Its raining on Day 3 as of now.

savage.

India should be confident of themselves to chase anything under 300. 

They will need a great bowling performance now to bowl South Africa out below 220 for a 4th innings target of less than 300. 

Hard but not impossible

I don't see us winning or drawing, our batsmen have got no practice since landing in SA. Even 3 Sachin's and 3 Lara's won't do jack without preparation in an alien place. Ask Federer to turn up without practice for the clay season and try to take on a top clay specialist, even he will lose...... these Saffers know their homegrounds better than us and will drive home the point day after tomorrow.

Most of us are aware of weather report ( Google weather or AccuWeather is enough for that ) .. that's not the point.....Point is your dream for a draw :p ..I believe South Africa would need a session or  a two to wrap up this Indian line up .I maybe be wrong but that's how it looks like currently .

I am not dreaming for draw. That was just prediction, real prediction that game can go on till 5th day simce plenty of rain is to come, while most thought that it will end in 4th. 

 

i see India drawing or winnig the game.

 

Now the onus is on South Africa. And my 10+ years of ICF prediction career is telling me that South Africa is under pressure and India is likely going to win this test match.

 

India win if South Africa declare or get out in time. If South Afrca decides to bat long and slow, India will still draw. We are no way losing this.

fed would probably win if there wasn't a certain guy called nadal. it's boggling sometimes to think of how many titles one of them would have won if the other didn't play at the same time. in fed's place, the number of titles would be greater but without fed i can see nadal having won a few more wimbledons and hard court titles.

142 lead now. I'm pretty sure they won't declare until lead is 350ish

 

Most likely an hour after tea they will declare. If we can get some quick wickets, we can really have a good chance of possibly saving this match.

Current Fed would lose to at least 10 other clay courters not named Nadal even when playing well. May be peak Federer would win without prep but even that version wouldn't be so stupid/arrogant (like current Indian team) to turn up just like that.

 

What you said holds true for pre 2010 versions of Nadal and Fed, then Nole turned up and spoiled the party. I believe post 2010 Nole is in general a better clay courter than Fed (notwithstanding RG 2011 SF) and a better grass courter than Nadal. I also believe Nole is a superior HCer than both, his USO record is an aberration. In my mind he is the most complete player of all time (many experts including the legendary coach Nick Bollettieri share the same opinion) with the highest recorded peak in the history of tennis (2011 and 2015).

yes, of course I was referring to peak versions and excluding Nole for the purposes of simplification (for whom I have a massive amount of respect naturally).
