What a start to a test match, VIRU, what a stunning innings, records tumbling every where, and on top of them he has now got both his triple centuries against first class international teams, and SA have the best fielders in the world. and they thought they did well, that 540 is looking like 100 all out now, the way Dravid and especially Sehwag batted, inspiring, obviously this will be a draw but still, what is every ones thoughts on this match so far.

Congrats Veeru .... Go for 400 ...

Better innings compared to Multan. Chanceless.

But the pitch look like made for the ageing Indian stars.

Didn't think I'd be posting on this forum again....but something had to be said!!

What an utterly pointless test match.
Ahmedabad promises more of the same.....another chance for FTB's to gorge themselves....

With pitches like these Test cricket in India is dying a slow death

Not completely pointless, a lot of entertainment and a good preparaton match, not to mention, we saw who was in form and who should be dropped from both sides.

What a load of crap, absolutely disgracfull, and spineless performance, if you cna call it that from the indians, not one standing up and taking charge, bowled pathetically for 76 and now the south africans have a stupid lead of around 300+ O think. De villiers was never a candidate to ever get a double hundred, and yet there it was, just shows how bad the bowlers have done thier job, but then its not like they had anything to protect. GUTLESS performance and if they lose the series, because thye will most certqainly lose this test, thye will most certainly hear about it at the end.

Scoring 320 on a dead wicket is not an indicator of form as has been proven by his failure in both innings on a livelier wicket in the second test!!

God help test cricket in India!!

I was actually refering to Dravid as Sewhwag proved he was in some sort of form when he that that brilliatn 150+ agqainst OZ in OZ, if that aint a form indicator then what is, the fact that it was followed by the 319 showed how great his concentration is as his last ten hundreads have yeiled scores all above 150, and I didnt see any other batsmen in jthe enitre test make it any where close to that 319 which says something in its self as well.

151 and 319 on the two of the flattest test wickets in the world.....well done??!!

AGAINST AUSTRAILIA IN AUSTRALIA and I diont recall any one else having an innings that good, so yes very well done indeed.

Somebody as pathetic as Ashwell Prince has made a hundred against Australia in Australia....so whats so great about a hundred in Adelaide??!!

the fact that it saved the match, and obviously others have made hundreads against the aussies, but it was still a brilliant innings and back to the point, did show that although he wasnt at fluent sehwag best, he was still in form enough to save a match and help india to that number 2 position in tests.
