still possible - 9 wickets on the final day.

but freddie made a huge blunder - he should have declared way earlier. somewhere between 270 & 290 and then India may have had a go at chasing. now they are just going to block making it difficult to take the wickets.

freedie should have followed smith's declaration against the Aussie's in the series in Aus where he set them a target. SA lost that game but rather lose trying to win than making sure you can't lose & thus decreasing your chances of winning.

should be an interesting final session, my guess would be a draw.

This pitch has a history of low scores, though.
India have to bat for 100 overs and no-one has lasted more than 82 in the 4th innings.
Aus were bowled out for 93 last year.
Even Michael Clarke (a batsman) took 6 wickets in 6 overs for 9 runs.
This pitch seems to be better than that but still.

I think we deserve to win it. A drawn series is the right result. But Tendulker and Dravid are unlikely to throw away their wickets.

Good to wake up to see India at 80/6. Still over three hours to go.

Well a drawn series & on balance probably the right result.
Certainly did not see India getting bowled out for 100.

Still believe though an earlier declaration would have been the right decision.

Who'd have thought Udal would spin us to victory?
A great result - 100/10, 212 run win.
