The Steyn and Amla show!

[metoo]

India have been asked (forced) to follow on after Steyn bowled the Indian team out (7 wickets for the innings)

Nice positive cricket from SA!

[metoo]

And Morkel has just taken the 1st wicket of the Indian second innings. Indian are 6/1 after 1.5 overs.

lets hope that nothing happens before I click submit again!

That's a career best from Dale. His post tea figures read 3.4-2-3-5.

Appears to be a combination of really petrified batsmen, and a complete inability to play ultra-late reverse swing at 140+kph...

14/1 now as Virender tries to counter attack. Don't mind that really. He's either going to get 300 or be out for 30. I'm hoping for the latter...

[Kelewan]

Wow! I've been watching an awesome game! 14/1 at the moment, but Steyn's blowing chips out of his bum right now...so I expect great things! What a test match

I'm going to have to be removed from my video-steam with a bloody crowbar. *sigh* I really thought this was going to be an excellent Indian batting wicket.

Oh...and Sehwag has taken it in the ribs by Morkel. Oooooh!

[Orange]

Love it when a fast bowler (especially one of ours) brings a batsman (especially someone elses) to their knees with a well aimed ball into the ribs...

Oh, and AB de Villiers is keeping wicket. Boucher apparently has a sore back...which doesn't bode well for the rest of the tour...

[Kelewan]

And Steyn got Sehwag! Hip hip hooray!

[Orange]

24/2 as Steyn grabs wicket number 8 and Sehwag a shower!

[Kelewan]

According to the commentary, 8 wickets taken in less than an hour of play. We are on fire! Go you beautiful bowlers. Wobbly knees time...

[metoo]

O, you should do the commentary for cricinfo!! Well done

Oh, and well done to Steyn AGAIN

[Kelewan]

Hey O...it's apparently a competition to see who can type the fastest. I'm gonna cream you hon. I type 85 wpm!

[Orange]

Hehehe...I wonder if the Indian tailenders are wondering who's going to be cursed with being nominated as nightwatchman? Bet that queue is long...

[Orange]

You can do that...I'll come up with the Cricinfo style commentary and the stats ok?

I also have to wait for cricinfo...

[Kelewan]

33/2 - the batsmen don't seem to know what to do with Steyn. Took Morkel off a bit early though...wonder why?

[Kelewan]

But...is the Little Maestro going to pull something out of a hat?

[Orange]

Well, for now I'd just like the bowlers to hit their channels outside off...bowling on the legs of an Indian batsman is a surefire way to help them settle and score quickly!

[Llama Girl]

Roles allocated: Kel can give us teh scores.O can make the commentary colourful!

[Orange]

Yawn. 10 overs 9 runs. Yawn.

5 overs left in the day. 62/2.

[metoo]

[Orange]

66/2 at Stumps. Very much the Proteas day. So that means that apart from probably the first 30 minutes on Day 1, the Proteas have very much been in command of this game. The knockout punch is now needed, because anything less than a win from this position will be unacceptable.

[Kelewan]

And then the devil called Telkom strikes: my ADSL line goes down at a critical bloody moment! Curse you Telkom!

Agreed O. The only chance for a Proteas win was India having to follow on. This has happened, and I expect to see further magic tomorrow. Excellent stuff.
