Like the first day, the second day was no different to the Indians. Indians were made to toil hard for every wicket. The proteas should be congratulated for putting price on their, even bowler like Morne morkel was dealing a veteran like Kumble with much ease. Not to forget Hashim Amla and Mark Boucher who toiled hard in the sun an made a well deserved 159 and 70 respectively. Amla was so unlucky to get for a suicidal run out which was fully master minded by Dhoni. Once Amla left, it was down to Boucher to hang on and he did that in a laudable way. I was hoping for at least one wicket for my 150bucks. In the middle the runs were not flowing and players to were down with energy and i was also sleeping!!!
Boucher was given company by Morne Morkel, though his technique was bit erratic. The southpaw made a good contribution to the South African total. Harbhajan was duly rewarded for his tiresome effort with a five wicket haul.
The the last 2 hours was the most exciting part of the match. when Viru and Jaffer came out to bat, there were all around cheers and the cheers were not let down by both of them. Viru was altogether in a ballistic mood and this was evident when he banged Ntini for a six over third man with his trade mark upper cut and Jaffer did the same to Steyn. We were all hoping India would end the day with no man down, thank god they survived on track where once a batsman finds his foot can make merry.
I managed click some snaps before my cam started flashing "low battery". The most pathetic pic was the one here Yuvi was carrying a bucket so sadly.....
But on the whole it was mixed day, a bad beginning was credited with a good opening stand. It all depends on day 3 how much will our men in blue in white flannels will capitalize the good start and a batsman friendly wicket.
Few of the clicks from my cam....don bother abt the date...some technical edge in my came....
