Durban 1996 Equal To CapeTown 2017

[Malcolm Merlyn]

Way back in 1996 SA was touring India abd the test series was evenly poised at 1-1 . India to blunt the SA fast bowlers made a abrasive wicket for the last test.

 

SA were bowled out for less than 200 in each innings.

 

The SA captain in the post match conference had said that they will be waiting at Durban.

 

India had done a pretty similar thing in 2015 with rank turners.

 

Now in Durban 96 India bowled out SA for less than 300 in the 1st innings, just like they did with SA in this test. A swing bowler was tye highest wicket taker with 5wkts in the 1st innings.Like Bhuvi was in this innings.

 

India was bowled out for 100 in 1st innings in 96.Will that be the case here?

 

Or the similarities end?

We might just get more than 100 but are in for a humiliating defeat and some bruised bodies. 

 

Another similarity is just like Virat-Anushka here the then superstar Azhar had married another Bollywood babe Sangeeta Bijlani just before the tour IIRC.
