South Africa v India | 2nd Test | Durban | Day 5 | 30/12/2013

Appropriately it's Nohit Sharma to bowl the winning runs. They didn't Nohit him that's for sure.

Congrats to SA for the win and to kallis for a amazing career.

Nice innings today from rahane deserved a ton, indian fans must be gutted with this tour though in great positions in both tests and yet without a direct hit runout they could have easily lost 2-0.

If they were ever going to win in SA this was the tour and pitches to do it on.

Congratulations to the saffer Pper's and commiserations to fellow Indian PPers. Btw, Dhoni said he was happy with the bowlers so don't expect any change any time soon. We are going to get hammered again and yet again if we play these bowlers.

 

[Strike Rate]

From 198/1 to losing by 10 wickets where things gone wrong for India?

From 198/1 to losing by 10 wickets where things gone wrong for India? India was 198/1 in 1st innings at one stage!

Excuses ''conditions favoured SA '' Bad light and rain hilander:

 

[Scrolln]

Horrible medium pace bowling, as is often the case during our overseas tours.

 

[Sandeep]

No excuses.. We should played better in the first innings!

If anything, bad light on day 1 might have had the most impact. Vijay and Pujara settled down really well and we know how things were accelerated post tea in Jo'berg! Steyn had come back with lot of venom on day 2 and rest is history..

 

[London_Lahori]

Dale Steyn is what went wrong

 

[90MPH]

They were Steyned !!!

 

[mastermind_quad]

Dhoni and Bowlers.

 

[akheR]

Sateyn happened.

He's definitely the one who changed the game in SA's favour more than the trundling brigade, wish he got a 10fer.

Worrying times ahead for India. The conditions they got in this test series were probably the most alien conditions to SA in SA and they could have easily have lost 2-0 if SA tail had other plans.

 

[IndianWillow]

Batting was substandard in the first innings. 334 was not the par total here. India looked on course for 450 but fell way short of it.

 

[mastermind_quad]

Well played SA ....

Brilliant Steyn special player...
