Pitch for the second test

[King]

While South Africa arrived in Durban only on Saturday, the Indians played an unscheduled tour game against a KwaZulu-Natal Invitation XI, with the batsmen getting more time in the middle and Munaf Patel an opportunity to prove his fitness ahead of the Test match. "It looks a good wicket," said Dravid, after having scrutinised the dark-brown strip prepared at Kingsmead. "It's got some small cracks. It'll be interesting to see how it unfolds. A lot depends on the weather. If there's a lot of sunshine and heat over the next few days, then it [the cracks] may become a factor on the fourth and fifth day. But if it's like Jo'burg - drizzle and rain with a lot of moisture in the air - then it might not be a factor."

Doesn't look like a seamer's paradise is being prepared at Durban. :chin:
