ravishingravi Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I guess about 200-220. But really with the Dale Steyn in full flow even 150 could be hard work. The two run outs can come back to haunt India.
gs Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 150-180 is do able. Anything beyond that would need a Sehwag or VVS special.
zen Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 If we click as a batting unit then we can chase down 300+ but ideally wouldn't want us to chase more than 225 with the kind of pressure our team would be under in the 4th inning. The bowlers will have to raise their game and bowl out SA for around 200. Which means getting 8 wkts for 150 more. With some of the guys probably playing their last test in SA, I expect them to give their best. Whatever happens, I hope we fight it out! :india:
yoda Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 If you had asked me this question 2 or 3 years ago I would have said 100. LOL. Of late this team has shown the resilience of a champion. I would like the target still to be < 200, but can see them even going for 250 or more.
akshayxyz Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I think even 250 is doable, but that will require extreme application and some restraint from Sehwag and a bit of luck against barrage of outswingers and bouncers from Steyn and Morkel. Today also there were times when a c.m. here or there and ball would have caught Sachin's edge.
gaurav92 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 India should look to fold them under 220-240 with Kallis handicapped.But half wounded kallis is still a threat if allowed a runner :nervous:
jf1gp_1 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 no more than 160; so they should either get SA ao 1hr after lunch or wait for them to declare and play out a draw if they can with an injured opener and a useless domestic bowler bully
urbestfriend Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 4th innings average in this pitch is 170 odd, so I wouldn't want them chasing anything more than 200. Upto 250 is chaseable, but I am worried about steyn's fearsome spell in 4th/5th day pitch
Raghav_12 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 India can chase upto 250. By law of averages majority of Indian batting line up should score good when they get second chance to bat in this match.
Sachin2210 Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 I think anything less than 170-180 is chase able on this track.
nballa Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 anything over 120 and forget about the test. steyn is unplayable.
saneindian Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Will be proportional to how long Sehwag bats in the 2nd innings. He stays for a session, we will hunt down even 275. Otherwise 210-220 will be a par total.
King Tendulkar Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 If sehwag engages brain for once in this series, then good chance we could chase 300+
satishg Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 250, i expect Sehwag to come good and Dravid to score some meaningful runs. So we can chase up to 250, anything above that is going to take a miraculous VVS special again.
spectre Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Anything over 200 and it becomes difficult Sehwag's role in 2nd innings is paramount to an Indian victory
VRV Singh Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Would not be confident with >200...even that is bound to be stiff. Unless we really nail the middle order tomorrow (Amla, ABCD, JK if he bats) then I can't see them not putting up a tough tough total - already 50 odd on the board. Still we'll see what happens, this batting line-up has made many a pessimistic Indian fan look foolish.
