Jacques Kallis believes that the Proteas’ two battling left-handers, Ashwell Prince and JP Duminy, will come good when it really counts on the final day of the Test series against India at Eden Gardens.

Rain frustrated India’s proceeding on the fourth day of the second and final Test against South Africa at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The Proteas finished the day on which a little more than a third of the overs could be bowled on 115/3 for an overall trail of 232 runs with 98 overs left to play on the final day.

The hosts have to take out seven South African wickets and avoid their first home series loss since the defeat by Australia in 2004 and more important they try to seize on to their number-one ranking.

“Hashim has been in great form so obviously he needs to keep that going and I know that he is hungry to do that,” commented Kallis. “It is also a great time for JP and Ashwell to turn it around. What better time to do it than on an important day like this? They have done it on occasions like this before and they can turn it around. Tomorrow is a
day for heroes.”

Kallis said it was important for the rest of the team to learn the lessons that Amla had taught on this tour. “The biggest lesson of all is when you are in good form not to give it away. He is mentally a very strong player and he has excellent powers of concentration. He knows his game plan very well and he has executed it brilliantly.
There are some valuable lessons there for all players around the world.”

Kallis remained upbeat that the Proteas could bat out the day, particularly if they continued to play positively and put India under pressure by wiping out their overall lead. Such a scenario would mean that every run would become effectively two as they would be runs that India would have to go out and score in whatever time remained available. “We feel we can bat out tomorrow, just take it a ball at a time and be positive.”

“The wicket is still very good for batting. There is a little bit of turn but not as much as you normally come across on day five on the sub-continent. There is not much there for the seamers either so certainly as far as batting conditions are concerned it is a good wicket to play on,” Kallis maintained.

“There is a little bit more bounce for Harbhajan than there was at Nagpur. It is probably slightly quicker but there is not a lot of turn. We have played spinners well in the past and there is no reason why we can’t do it again tomorrow,” he added.

Kallis calls for heroic day

Rain frustrated India’s proceeding on the fourth day of the second and final Test against South Africa at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The Proteas finished the day on which a little more than a third of the overs could be bowled on 115/3 for an overall trail of 232 runs with 98 overs left to play on the final day.

The hosts have to take out seven South African wickets and avoid their first home series loss since the defeat by Australia in 2004 and more important they try to seize on to their number-one ranking.

South Africa’s best batsman Jacques Kallis back in hut for 20 as earlier resuming on six without loss, lost both openers Graeme Smith (20) and Alviro Petersen (21) either side of lunch before Amla, who scored centuries in his two previous outings, frustrated India in forging a partnership of 57 with Kallis.

Crucially the Proteas have lost three key wickets including Kallis but the batting hero of the tour, Hashim Amla (49 not out) is still at the crease in partnership with Ashwell Prince.

For India Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman and Mahendra Singh Dhoni had all pile up centuries to put India in control, with the hosts having declared on 643-6 after South Africa made 296 in their first innings.

PORT ELIZABETH: South Africa Vs England 4th ODI Live Streaming, Andrew Strauss is confident his team can respond to the heavy defeat at Newlands.

The scoreline says the series is all square, but after such a convincing 112-run victory at Cape Town South Africa are now the side with the momentum.

It shows how quickly situations can change in one-day cricket and, following their crushing win in the second Twenty20 international, Friday’s performance was the second time the home side have responded to defeat in powerful style.

After a fairly insipid display at Centurion, the Newlands version of South Africa was much closer to living up to their pre-series billing.

The batting, led by AB de Villiers’ awesome striking, fired as a unit and the bowling attack packed much more punch with the inclusion of Wayne Parnell and Morne Morkel.

Parnell continued his impressive knack of bagging large hauls with a career-best 5 for 48 to follow the five-for he took against New Zealand at the Champions Trophy.

If he stays fit Parnell is set to be a key figure throughout this tour.

Watching England in any format should come with a health warning, but their one-day performances are most likely to send supporters lurching from delight to despair.

As Andrew Strauss said after the defeat at Newlands the one-day squad is a work in progress, so humbling reversals are to be expected.

It follows the pattern of the Champions Trophy when memorable victories against Sri Lanka and South Africa were followed by heavy defeats against New Zealand and Australia.

It is a quick turnaround between the weekend matches.

Both teams had early-morning alarm calls to catch flights to Port Elizabeth and England’s players were offered an optional training session.

A key feature of the Strauss-Andy Flower regime has been level-headedness and the vibes coming out of the camp are ‘don’t panic’.

Going straight into the next match means they have little time to stew over the previous performance which could work in their favour.

South Africa, though, really mean business.

Alviro Petersen has slotted well into the middle order and Hashim Amla is churning out the runs as Jacques Kallis’ understudy so South Africa’s batting is solid.

The one concern for them is Dale Steyn who bowled six overs at Newlands before leaving the field with a hamstring strain.

If he is ruled out Charl Langeveldt could be recalled, while Johan Botha may be considered for the struggling Roelof van der Merwe.

SQUAD:
South Africa: (possible) 1 Graeme Smith (capt), 2 Hashim Amla, 3 AB de Villiers, 4 JP Duminy, 5 Alviro Petersen, 6 Mark Boucher (wk), 7 Ryan McLaren, 8 Wayne Parnell, 9 Roelof van der Merwe, 10 Morne Morkel, 11 Charl Langeveldt

England (possible) 1 Andrew Strauss (capt), 2 Jonathan Trott, 3 Kevin Pietersen, 4 Paul Collingwood, 5 Eoin Morgan, 6 Matt Prior (wk), 7 Luke Wright, 8 Stuart Broad, 9 Tim Bresnan, 10 Graeme Swann, 11 Graham Onions.

Australia demolished West Indies inside three days to wrap up an innings and 65-run win at the Gabba in Brisbane. West Indies lost as many as 15 wickets on the third day! There was a bit of consolation for the tourists with debutant Adrian Barath standing tall among the ruins with a century on debut. The Trinidadian announced his arrival in the big league with 104 from just 138 balls (with 19 fours) in a team total of 187!

Windies were bowled out in their first innings for 228 which lasted for only 63 overs. Ricky Ponting enforced the follow on and the Windies were again bowled out cheaply with their second innings lasting hardly two sessions. Ben Hilfenhaus was named as the Man of the Match for taking a total of five wickets.

Hashim Amla (86) and Alviro Petersen (51*) hit half centuries in an imposing total of 354 for 6.

England won the second One Day International at the Centurion Park in Pretoria by 7 wickets with the visitors comfortably chasing a target of 251. Paul Collingwood struck an unbeaten 105 (from 110 balls with 7 fours and 2 sixes) and Opener Jonathan Trott made 87 (from 119 balls with 8 fours) as England cruised to the target with four overs to spare.

South Africa after being put into bat first were restricted to 250 for 9 after losing wickets at the wrong moments of their innings. The top scorer for South Africa was Alviro Petersen who made 64 (from 65 balls with 5 fours and a six) coming in at no.5. Hashim Amla with 57 from 72 balls was the other half centurion. For the visitors, James Anderson picked up 3 for 60 and Bresnan, Collingwood took a couple of wickets each.
