Toss: Smith has won the toss and has chosen to bat. “We have had a warm-up game. We have covered up all our bases and hope to put it in place in the game. We have come here to beat India at home. We have a pretty decent record here in India. Hopefully we can start well today and set a good tone. We just got one change. Paul Harris comes in for Ryan
Pitch The pitch is lot more browner today as compared to the tracks served up here for the previous international games, says SM Gavaskar. It will dry up and help spinners, adds SMG. ‘Win toss, bat first’ is SMG’s mantra and lets see whether any captain disagrees with him.
Big news for India No Laxman and no Rohit Sharma. Laxman didn’t get fit and Rohit injured himself in the morning during practice.
India team
V Sehwag, G Gambhir, M Vijay, SR Tendulkar, S Badrinath, MS Dhoni*†, WP Saha, Harbhajan Singh, Z Khan, A Mishra, I Sharma
South Africa team
GC Smith*, AG Prince, HM Amla, JH Kallis, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, MV Boucher†, DW Steyn, WD Parnell, M Morkel, PL Harris
Dhoni “In the morning Rohit got injured and Laxman too is not fit. So we have Wridiman Saha . On our track we have to bat first but we can’t do anything about it. It’s a good opportunity for Badrinath. He is a very experienced domestic player. It’s also a good opportunity for Saha.”
For those SA fans who aren’t too aware of Saha – he is primarily a wicketkeeper and only gets a chance here as a batsman because of Rohit’s injury. Rohit was supposed to cover-up for Laxman but he too is down and out.
South Africa 6/2 (7.2 ov)
So stand in coach Van Zyl also thinks that Prince is an opening bat?
Just bring Gibbs back please.
35-2
Hello folks, any idea where I can get this streamed?

Only turned the tv on now. See Amla and Kallis going really well.
BUTour openers are letting us down huge. If they don’t let Prince play in his proper position then need to drop him. HE IS WASTED to open. Damn why can they not see this? We can not have a opener keep going for a duck. Prince should bat at 5 or 6.
thanks bdb
this one is working too
