Ahmedabad, India: April 3, 2008 – (IR Summary) – A big shame for India and its cricket players, who let the high head of India bow before the world. Is it the standard they boast for India scoring just 76 and the entire team is gone, whereas South Africa is 223 for 4. Where our reliability stands?

Shah Rukh Khan to note, that these cricketers have sucked his blood and may ruin him with their unreliability. As a team India is a naught and when some player shines, they think the team has won. SRK should remember, he has probably played a big gamble, he should not have. Still we wish him the best of luck in his games.

How Indian team was blown off?

Sehwag, the hero of last match having to his credit the triple century, just scored 6 of 12 balls, was bowled  by DW Steyn. W. Jaffer scored 9 of 14 balls, caught by GC Smith and bowled b M Ntini. Dravid, the century scorer of last match got 3 of 26 balls; Ganguly got duck of 2 balls, the great hero of SRK on whom he banks the most for his coming events.

The next hero for India were VVS Laxman, bowled by M. Ntini, scored 3 of 7 balls, A.Kumble out at duck bowled by M.Morkel, he scored no run and played 2 balls.

RP Singh was caught by GC Smith bowled by DW Steyn, he was out at duck and played 11 balls. S.Sreesanth also got duck and played 3 balls, he was bowled by DW Steyn.

MS Dhoni, however, got 14 of 22 balls, caught by Boucher bowled by M Morkel. IK Pathan, the top scorer got 21 of 17 balls and was not out, the only reliable player.

DW Steyn got five wickets for 23 runs, M.Ntini got 3 wickets and yielded 18 runs and M.Morkel succeeded in getting 2 wickets for 20 runs.

PTI Input:Coming to South Africa,South African openers -- skipper Graeme Smith and in-form Neil McEnzie -- put on a half-century stand to overhaul the meagre Indian first innings total of 76 before tea on the first day of the second cricket Test here on Thursday.

At the break, the tourists had swelled their first innings tally to 100 for two wickets, a lead of 24 runs over the hosts, on what looked to be a good batting track which may take turn later on in the match.

McEnzie, who scored 94 and 155 at Chennai in the drawn series opener, fell in the last over before tea, caught at slip by Rahul Dravid off Harbhajan Singh, for 42.
Hshim Amla, also a century-maker in the first Test, was unbeaten on 15 at the break.
