Honestly Folks

[ravishingravi]

How many of you thought that a victory would be possible in this test esp. after being trounced in the first test esp. after losing the toss and getting bowled out for 205 ? Put your hand on your heart and tell the truth. I didn't. I thought India is undercooked for this series

[Laaloo]

I did. I was actually pretty sure we'd win at Durban after all the smack that Smith and company were talking in the media. None of the Indian players communicated with the media.

[yoda]

I don't go into a test assuming we will win or lose. But after setting a target of 300, was pretty sure we will win.

[Sid]

I didnt

I didnt either after 205 all out and then sun appeared as well. But we overcame all and won. Bloody hell we are good

[vaibhav_delhi]

I did. Coz nothing went for india in the 1st test and they had played bad.

[Sachin=GOD]

I honestly believed that we would win this one.

Honestly Folks' date=' how many more threads.?[/quote'] Come on dude. Let the OP have his fun. After all, he's the one who still time and time again doubts our Number 1 ranking, questions our batsmen's ability to bat in bowler friendly conditions,. You should have seen him going around in the match thread bashing Indian players. And now he's dick riding like anything as well as most of our other usual suspects ( fineleg and company)

I didnt think we could pull this off and the MAIN reason why I felt that way is not because I felt there's a defeciency of talent/skill in our team, but I felt their batsmen were significantly more comfortable playing in these conditons than ours and that alone is enough to tilt the balance in their favor.

Well MSD was bashing his team for 2nd innings perfomance. So, he is in same league as me. Seems like with your IQ you can be unarmed and still be dangerous. A critic of a team can still be a valid fan. But a stupid fan is just stupid, that is all there is to it really

[Guest Hiten.]

I had predicted India win if RSA opted for a green track .

[ravishingravi]

^That is true. But after they lost the toss, I lost some hope

[spectre]

i only sensed victory after they were 93-3. Harbahajan bowling well and with Zaheer and his reverse swing, i had the feeling India will pull it off, though not overly confident of it. Two poor decisions helped, cant deny that.

[Shakthi]

i knew India will win once we got saffers out for 131 in first innings but ashwell prince was getting on my nerves for staying too long we deserve to win just hand the match.
