Don't let the tail wag from here.

[Cricketics]

I know right. TIme to keep it tight. So far so good. If bowler is looking tired, give them rest for 15 minutes, don't overbowl them. But keep 2 seamers on. Wicket is going to come.

[Pagalpanti]

Why is Shami taken off? He's shown he can run through the tail.

146/6 - 170/6 ....jail break for SA!

[Pagalpanti]

Ah well they still have Steyn, Morkel who can tonk a good 30-40 runs. Our tail really failed us today. Even 20 more runs would've been so handy

[cricketpitch]

We need to get as much lead as possible. Batting in second innings is not going to be easy. We need to mop the tail fast but we are allowing a partnership to build, which can't be good.

Seriously this is depressing. Happens almost every time we travel abroad. :nervous:

[Trundler27]

This is not exactly their tail yet..... Both guys are getting behind the line of the ball and betting sensibly..... Philander is a decent bat This is just a good fighting partnership by a fighting team thus far

[kruiser]

yes, bowling has not been poor.. just good fightback by decent SA batsmen. Only if Ashwin and Zak had shown some batting nous as well...

[jusarrived]

Not surprised ,we have do this all the time ..Iam worried we may give them a decent lead

[cricketpitch]

yes' date=' bowling has not been poor.. just good fightback by decent SA batsmen. Only if Ashwin and Zak had shown some batting nous as well...[/quote'] Ashwin did well, He gave 2 balls per over for the tail to survive and none of them did. If they had done Ashwin might have added few more runs.

[Sandeep99]

Crap, crap and crap :((

[SLICKR392]

Need a decent lead. Atleast 30-40. 50 doesn't look possible.

[fineleg]

146-6, missed a golden chance to get them all out for 180-190. But I suppose Faf is a good batsman and Philander seems to be an "all rounder". I didnt know Philander can bat so well.

[veer]

tomorrow will be a fresh start.. it'll be alright folks.

He has a 74 highest against Pakistan this year. Handy bat..

[South_Paw]

actually their real tail is one wicket away.
