India were at the receiving end on the third day of the first Test against South Africa in Centurion as a resolute Dean Elgar's 185 helped the hosts take a massive lead. The batter missed out on a well-deserved maiden double hundred but inflicted enough damage on India in company of young Marco Jansen to potentially bat the visitors out of the opening Test as South Africa reached 392 for 7 at lunch on the third day. Elgar (185 off 287 balls), whose previous highest Test score is 199, was inching towards his maiden double hundred before a faint tickle to leg-side bouncer from Shardul Thakur brought about his end.

He was instrumental in exposing BCCI to the whole new world of commercialisation of the game's broadcast but former Cricket South Africa president Dr Ali Bacher doesn't like only three boards "marginalising" others in order to enjoy complete hegemony. It is no secret that India, Australia and England cricket boards decide the cricket calendar and Bacher, who brought the Proteas cricket to mainstream, post-apartheid, isn't amused at all. "When I was the chairman of ICC's development committee, my objective was to spread the game. It's not happening today. Cricket today is dominated by India, Australia, England.

That's not good," Bacher, now 81, told PTI during an exclusive interview while watching the India and South Africa opening Test.
