India v SA, 1st Test, Nagpur, Feb 6-10

Oh bugger .....

Zaheer gone.

9 down now.

SA can still win by an innings.

And according to Cricinfo India is seven runs short of the follow-on. Going to be some tired SA bowlers after Sehwag and co. front up again.

Cricinfo fail.

Thats it.

Innings and 6 runs victory for SA.

10-for for Steyn.

This is 1st loss for Dhoni as captain of India in 12 test matches and first for India in nearly 2 years. Last loss too came against SA.

Well played SA. If after this Bhajji isn't dropped than this team cannot go anywhere. Again what was the logic of playing 2 WKs instead of a specialist bat?

Captain clueless, spinner clueless, batsmen clueless, selectors clueless, Board clueless.....wonder who has an idea where this team is headed?

What the odds for a customised dustbowl for Eden Gardens? And will Laxman, Dravid and co. be fit for the second test?

Well played SA.

Introspection time for India. In a way its good India lost by a big margin rather than a close one.

Dravid is out for couple of months till his fracture heals. Laxman maybe a possibility if his finger has healed. Eden pitch is usually not a spinner's wicket. I wonder when will Sehwag learn to bat with some measured responsibility?

SA are the new no. 1 test team now.

Well, that was a caning and a half. An almost-BD performance against the World #1.
