1st day's play review

Hi i am back again,giving my views on the on going ind vs sa test series.Today,the 1st day of the third test,we witnessed an absorbing day's play.South Africa ended the day score 265 losing all ten wickets.India did well to bowl them out.

For South Africa Smith and Amla came up with fifties.For India Ishanth sharma, and Harbhajan singh took 3 wickets each.Piyush Chawla getting a break into the eleven picked up 2 wickets.

In the morning Indian captain Anil kumble was ruled out of the test.Piyush chawla took his spot.Irfan made way for yuvraj singh.

At the end of first day neither team is in control of the match although india has a slight advantage.India's good work today will mean nothing if they dont gain a good lead in the first innings.The task is cut out for the batsmen.They just need to apply themselves and play and put runs on the board.

An interesting thing to note is that the pitch has been having variable bounce.so its highly important to score runs in first innings as it will become difficult to bat in the second innings.

thats it for now,
catch you people tomorow
cheers!
