Remember the catch that Ali bacher took to dismiss Sachin who looked unstoppable in that innings....South Africans tend to pull such things out of the hat often.....more than batting as I said from day 1 of this series...how we field in the 2nd innings will be the deciding factor

My bad it was Adam bacher....Ali bacher was his uncle a pre apartheid cricketer and administrator...it took that to end one of the greatest knocks played in South Africa :hatsoff:

I set bit of similarity in swagger between Azhar and Pandya. 

The batting  elegance is similar....attitude Azhar was very meek and introverted...it was a shock initially when it came out he did what he did....Pandya is more in your face.

India wont score more than 150 in 4th innings. This entire series depends on if and how much lead we can take. All on these 2 :pray:

 

Seriously man this is it and we don't have bhuvi to hold up one end this time :((

Remember Bacher saying  “what a catch” himself after taking the catch. That remained like the moment of the series which everyone remembered for years to come.

Azharuddin/Sachin both proper batsmen. Pandya is still becoming one. Similar one was Viru/Sachin at Blomefoentine.

Oh yeah that looks a bit more similar than Azhar Sachin. And laxman hit a Six. Who was the unfortunate bowler? :cantstop:

I believe  robelinda has said that for some bizarre reason the Laxman innings from that test was one of the most requested

IIRC John Wright had called it the best/prettiest 30 he had ever seen.

Kohlis knock was more like sachins 2010 cape Town. Brilliant knock. Now we need shami to replicate Sreesanth in the same match before he was neutered.
