WI vs SA 2nd test, day 4

[Arnab]

1st drink break, Lara is 2 off 32 balls. Partnership with Sarwan at 33, Sarwan scored 28. Lara not uncomfortable, just playing out the balls with grit.

The man's got plans.

He's trying to bat out the day I think. And nurturing his partners. Lara is probably the best batsman in defense in the world. Time to show his patience.

He better if he wants to challenge Pontings figures. But letting SA score 650 plus is humiliating for anyone.

Ponting 1472 - 98.13.
Lara 1333- 78.41.

[Arnab]

He's gone.

And I am not really surprised SA scored 650 plus against this windies attack. Kallis, Kirsten, Gibbs and Smith were all in top form this year.
