Living in denial

South Africa's 8th wicket partnership stands unbroken at 42. AB DeVilliers cracks an unbeaten double ton. Kallis chips in with a ton of his own.

And then the rains come down.

Omens that India can still save this test ?

No Homer, even though North India is continuing to witness rains. It has been raining through the night at Delhi and I don't know if that extends to Motera.

In case play is possible, I'd urge Indian bowlers to help ABD get up and beyond 300 and as close to 400 as possible in the company of Harris. The idea being to allow Sa to bat on longer than they might like even though a session looks more than adequate to account for the Indian team.

The prospect of batting seven-six sessions is better than batting nine sessions.

Today Dravid and Jaffer should do the bulk of bowling to negate any chances of Harris (a batsman who can stay at the wicket and score some useful runs) getting out.

your 2-0 prediction might just turn out right - uncannily like how Pricky had predicted the 3rd final wouldn't be needed:-)
