This time dhoni can't save the matchi wonder what the score would have been if the indians would have batted first
Dont know about the score but the amount raised for charity by the sponsors Momentum would have been very less :p
 
What a beautiful spell of genuine fast and swing bowling by Dale Steyn! Ball after ball pitching around the off stump, drawing the batsman forward and then swinging away. Simply outstanding! This series will put into perspective the batsmanship of Tendulkar, Dravid and Laxman as compared to the present batsmen. As they say in Hindi, 'Doodh ka Doodh, pani ka pani ho jayega!' How long are the selectors going to persist with Yuvi and Raina? When will Rayudu and Rahane get to be part of the playing eleven?
 
If our bowlers will concede 350 in these conditions we will never win. Look hard at our bowlers at least batsmen did their job back home.
 
Raina was brilliant today. First he got Rohit out which clearly wasn't a single. Then he got himself run out which again wasn't a single. Awesome.
 
Well as expected, a massive loss. SA won by 141 runs. And most likely, the entire series maybe dominated by the home side. I don't really expect a fight back from India.
 
Just the first match .. Playing after so long on those type of pitches .. Give them time guys .. On away tours we r always slow starters .. Mostly losing all the opening match on a tour .. We should be in good shape for tests .. One need to blame BCCI and not the players .. They hardly provide any chance to the team to prepare on the away tours..
