The real fun starts now

[Cricketics]

The situation has arrived and guys are battling it out. Some people calling that we are playing it defensively. They need to realize that this is their time to battle it out and not to play twenty20. They are still learning how to bat in this. Most of the teams crumble in this situation and these guys are trying to work on their weaknesses and put up a better show. Don't forget, even with fab 4 we have messed up such games before. So these are just new bunch of players with no experience. Suppor them. I am enjoying that they are playing in this situation. May they perform well. Let's go India.

Others, I dont know yet..Hopeful on Pujara and Dhawan ..I am not sure abt others though :((:[/quote'] It's funny but sometimes in such situations totally opposite might happen. Others who have been failing might come to party. I hope. We actually need all of them to come to party. This is terrible situation to be in right now so need all our players to fire.

Agree with everything Cricketics has said here. Big test for the guys, and batting their way through this against such a strong bowling unit will be great for their confidence.

Toughest session for our batsmen has been first session in morning. Day-5, session 1 will be toughest of the toughest. Rain, where are you!

Its going to be very difficult. One of these two need to bat at least 3/4th of tomorrow to ensure a collapse doesnt happen. The first 2 sessions we cannot afford to lose more than 2 wickets, that will ensure that we would have gotten past their score with 6 wickets remaining. But SA will be fired up and if Steyn produces one of his freak spells then i am afraid nothing can save us. The last session in the first day which we lost due to bad light has really affected us a lot, maybe even the elements want Kallis to retire on a high note :((

This is what its all about. Love it Cant wait to see how we do i.e new gen

[King Tendulkar]

I can handle losing as long as we show some character and ability

^ Agreed. Hope the batsmen grit it out and fight and the result is whatever the result is. If it happens due to a brilliant attack by SA, then not much can be done. But need the batsmen to fight back and give it their best.
