FFS! Anyone want my tickets? At this rate I'm rather going out with my girl over the weekend than going to see my dreams shattered. Dammit!

A tough morning session at least coming up for the boys...with the weather around and the lack of usual Highveld sunshine baking down, is this pitch going to get any easier on day 2?

India batted longer than I thought they would...I was expecting us to face 15-20 overs which might have been deadly for our fragile top order.

Just following the commentary, it looks like India were again masters of their own downfall with some less than auspicious shotmaking. If we can be a bit more selective, then we should be able to make the best of the conditions as hopefully the wicket will have settled down. I reckon 300 here will be gold dust.

We beat the bat plenty of times...hope we get as lucky with not nicking off as they did.
