I must say India has done well to claw their way back to the top after getting thrashed in the opening game. Indian team has made it a norm to begin any tour badly and find themselves under pressure. It is as if we have to be always under pressure to perform.
If we win this fourth match, we will win the series. but India does have this habit of getting complacent after reaching a strong position. I hope that we do not get complacent and just finish the job. I hope that in this we all can see the batsmen firing. I believe almost every one got starts in the previous matches. If a couple of them convert their starts to big scores, I am sure the team will post a decent enough total to put pressure on the South African batting line up or ease some pressure of our bowling line up...!!! Mural Vijay has to find form and luck from some where or the other...Boooyyy.. is he struggling for runs...!!
So crossing the fingers to see a masterful performance form India in the fourth one dayer to clinch the series...!!!!!

I think team India is in good form right now.As
they have already taken a lead of 2-1 in the series, today they are going to make some experiment with the team combination and that's for the world cup.
anyway I wanna see a 4-1 win against south Africa as a big fan of India and as an Indian

I think now it is real chance for team India to win a series in their home for the first time.So far in this series India have outperformed the Proteas and "grabbed" two victories from them at no cost.With that I am sure Proteas will be very much disappointed.ALos it is last series for both the teams before the world cup.A win in this series will give them immence confident in the upcoming world cup in India.So I think Dhoni and guys will look forward to this and clinch their series win in this match itself.

It is defintely an interesting proposition. Let us see who wins the series from here. South African team would surely like to make amends and come hard at Indian team.
Let us see what happens.

Even i hope they don't get complacent. Neither of the two wins were convincing & there is too little to choose between the teams.
Indian Team must get credit for performing under pressure especially in the absence of 3-4 senior players.
Regarding murali vijay, his form is so bad that even bhajji or I 
can do a better job. I am not sure if parthiv has landed in SA .
The pitch is expected to slow down & help spinners after 30 odd overs. If this is true, then India is in with a big chance.

Hi Balu,
I noticed that you are new to Mylot.First of all welcome to this superb site.Hope you would share your views and enjoy in this great site.
The Indians have fought well to take a lead in the series.They now lead by 2-1.Both of the team have fought well to win a close match.Except the first ODI the other two ODI were very close games.It was very unfortunate that South Africans lose their second ODI.In today's match Vijay has been replaced by the wicket keeper Parthiv Patel.India so far has done well with their bowling and fielding.Their batting should be powerful enough to steal the victory from the South Africans and win a ODI series in SOUTH AFRICA for the first time.Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that India wi
ns the match.
Have a great weekend.

Dear Sam00
Let me first thank you for welcoming me into the Site...
We lost the series but... It is alright.. We do have a lot of positives to take from the series. We did all this without our stars. So it was a job "almost" well done.
This break for the Indian team before the world cup should help them...
Let us keep our fingers crossed..
Balu
