South Africa vs India, 1st ODI at Durban, , Jan 12 2011 - Ball by Ball Commentary

all over. Duminy plucks a superb catch to end the game. Zaheer looks to carve another short ball over the off side, and scoops it up over the covers. JP runs back and puts in a dive to pouch it. India have lost by 135 runs. Their woeful numbers in SA v SA just became more woeful.

Munaf backs away and slashes towards third man. He's off the mark

ah the joy of seeing a fast bowler fox a tail-ender! Tsotso delivers a full slower ball on leg stump. Nehra barely read the length, he completely failed to notice the change in pace as he went down and attempted to defend it. He was through with the shot with an angled bat when the ball came through and hit the base of leg stump. Sheepish look from Nehra, big smile on Tsotso's face. Fast bowlers - fun when the bowl. More fun when they bat. Most fun when they go face to face.

short ball aimed at Zaheer who is moving away to the leg side, and he ends up managing a single with a pull shot

backs away and slashes hard at a short one outside off, and gets a single to third man

another swing, another miss from Zaheer. Short ball, good carry and Zaheer plays the pull shot in another zip code

short ball, lifting at Zaheer outside off and he weaves away in clumsy fashion

Nehra's all placement as he backs away, hangs the bat out and bisects the gap between slip and gully. Single to third man

Nehra plays his version of the flick. Or the scoop. It involves chipping the ball straight up on the leg side, between the fielders in the infield.

Zaheer looks to go straight down the ground, and manages to, but in the opposite direction. Short ball outside off, he looks to hit straight off the back foot and gets an outside edge towards third man

decides to play at this one, with an open face towards point

another bouncer slanting across Nehra who lets it go

wide called, another one sliding down the leg side

full outside off, Nehra reluctantly gets into a defensive drive off the front foot

Tsotso gives him a short ball, zipping across with the angle and Nehra just stays out of harm's way

Raina's adventurous efforts have come to an end. Tsotso puts this one outside off, Raina charges again and looks to slice the cut over the infield, but finds Ingram at point. Easy take, and SA are two wickets away. Boy, this is a long tail.

Raina welcomes Tsotsobe with a lofted boundary through square leg. This came into his body as Raina was moving away to the leg side. Nice hitting length, and he whacks it high over square leg. One bounce, into the boundary

Raina mistimes another attempt to go over the leg side, and gets a single for his efforts

Zaheer seems to have a run up of his own at the crease, going this way and that as Parnell steams in, and ends up finally getting bat on a full ball on leg stump. Single to deep square leg

this one is outside leg stump, Zaheer is even further outside leg as he looks to flick violently. Another miss
