The way Amla and the debutant, Peterson were batting today, it looked like SA will again post a total in excess of 500 and the matter became worse when Laxman dropped a sitter of Amla off Harbhajan, but then destiny had something else in store for the Indians. SA went into tea with 2 down for 228 and would have been thinking of ending the day on a good note. But they forgot, its Eden Gardens, a ground where the post tea session has always been a mystery and most of the times, Bhajji was a part of it. This time also, Bhajji played his part and SA were reduced from 251 for 3 to 266 for the loss of 9 wickets, making just 38 runs in 25 overs bowled after Tea.
Laxman compensated for his dropped catch by taking a blinder to dismiss Kallis off the bowling off Harbhajan. After that, Bhajji had 2 consecutive LBWs to dismiss Prince and Duminy, but he missed out on a Hat-trick. Nevermind, India finished off the day way ahead of her fan's expectations. Now, India have to dismiss the last SA batsman tomorrow in the first half hour and have to score a mammoth total in the first innings to win this one. But one thing is for sure, Indians are gonna have a good dinner tonight after a dissapointing lunch and tea. :-)
