South Africa And Sl In India Options

[tracknest]

As I expected, a thumping win by the Indian side. Keep it up guys. On a good batting wicket, Irfan and Harbhajan bowled beautifully.

Good to see Sewag playing to his potential. I love the balanace of this Indian team and credit must go to Chappel and Dravid.

Well done boys and keep making us proud.

I dont know what role, if any, the pitch and the toss played in this big defeat for the Indian side. I do agree with the views expressed by Ali and Vivek about Pathan opening the innings as an over the top experiment.

I hope the body that controls cricket in India took note of the disgusting behaviour by the crowd in jeering their team and cheering all the boundaries scored by the South Africans. The only appropriate response to this is not to have any international matches in Eden Gardens for the next two years !!!!!!

Less said the better about the crowd behavior. Cannot imagine our own countrymen booing our team. Watching India play at Eden Gardens will never be the same. Sad part is how people forgot great victories that our team has achieved at Eden Gardens in past. Dravid, one of the main reasons why India were able to beat Australia after following on in a test at Eden Gardens, was ill-treated to put it mildly. His dismissal was applauded. Dravid deserves much better respect than just being stand-by captain. Thankfully he is a mature cricketer.

Cheers,

I agree. I watched the the Indian batting and was so disappointed to see the crowd cheering when Dravid fell. I thought it was probably Dhoni coming out to bat. But it was not that!! Hope Eden Gardens isn't given any game for the next six months. It is also sad that one of the best stadiums in India does not deserve a match!

Loved Rahul's reaction to the whole issue. Wish Saurav had behaved more mature than he has.
