That's the end of the game and South Africa wrap up a massive victory winning by 8 wickets. India was never in the game but that is more down to South Africa's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. Seam benefited greatly throughout the day. South Africa was expected to win this game and they duly obliged. It's been a good team performance all things considered.

Cheers [MENTION=55088]Watsupdoc[/MENTION]!
Combo turned out to be amazing.
Was very impressed with Swann's batting, lol!
Klusener & Waugh didn't even get to bowl.
Overall, great win!
