Dhoni's first loss in tests

[Ranjha]

Damn...........

[Guest Gunner]

This match will be over by tomorrow.

India have never lost under Dhoni??

I don't hope India can bounce back, obviously miracles won't happen often. TBH, this is going to be the Indian batting line up in the years to come. When Tendulkar, Rahul and Laxman is gone it will leave a huge void. I guess India has certainly not been able to fill in properly for Kumble and Ganguly yet. It's going to take an year or two for sure. Luckily enough India can still rely on the batting (not in this test match though). No shame to be honest, South Africa have played awesome cricket so far.

Finally Golden Run above to end. Well atleast he has an excuse. Now is Laxman fit for Eden Gardens?

[Watson87]

Game is not over.

[Andy]

May be over b4 tmrw stumps.

[gaurav92]

Still hope we can snatch a draw

[Watson87]

God is overrated. I hope he learns how to handle Steyn from Sehwag and plays him better. God looked very uncomfortable even playing a wannabe spinner like Harris, he looks out of touch. If he doesn't score a ton, we're doomed

[Karan114]

If he doesn't score a ton' date=' we're doomed[/quote'] We're doomed even if he does - 259 friggin runs behind even now. This is going to be one of our worst home defeats of all time.

[coffee_rules]

Yes. by stumps, tommorow.

No, only drawn and won matches for him, so far. The last time India lost was against SA at home in 2008.

This is an impossible situation. On the one hand: :yay: Graeme & his boys are playing eceptionally well. On the other: :(( I don't want Mahi to loose a Test.

[vvvslaxman]

Without Gambhir India cannot do zilch in Second innings. He is second innings god. But our cricinfo stats man had to come up with a stupid article to jinx him Grrr

You occasionally have to lose a game. It happens.

[flamy]

Dhoni's first loss in tests :(( Ah, feck.

[DomainK]

Had to come some day. Like I said before, I am happy that it took an extraordinary performance to beat Dhoni's team. I am sure Dhoni will not lose too many matches though.

[asterix]

Dhoni is getting his due come uppance..Serves him right for his pathetic captaincy and field placing in the first innings..

[kabira]

oh well, he has an excuse, he missed two pros. But well done SA, their coach was fired, but they seem to do all the right things.

[diegovegaz]

its just not a loss, its an innings defeat in india only the third time, in indian history
