Congrats SA

well played, completely dominated test match. Perhaps this will go down as their best win ever.

[Dirty_South]

naaa.... its just that our boys are tired of playing cricket continuously .... Give 'em a break !

Well played SA. Dale Steyn and Makhaya Ntini's performances deserved this result imo.

[umpire]

well lets not make excuse. Even RSA have been playing non stop cricket.

[f.b.m]

AB has a funny accent. Sure will be a hit with the ladies though.

[cochise]

Ya...congratualtions SA. Well played.

[Zakhmi]

RSA has outplayed us, they deserve a big big greet.

[Shehezaada]

yes well played SA, but we'll take you down in the 3rd test

[PaiN_KiLLeR]

Brilliant stuff SA! Nowhere near as strong as their team of the 90's, yet they are on the verge of completing an asian treble.

[Gambit]

Yeah, well played RSA. We were soundly thrashed in this test. Our first home defeat since Nagpur 2004, our first innings defeat since 2001. I don't remember the last time we lost within 3 days. Must have been on the NZ gardens. Things can only get better from here.

Another reason for their success so far IMO is that they are playing very positive cricket. A lineup of Kallis, Prince and Amla on paper is sleep inducing but they have played very positively, running hard, keeping the scoreboard moving. This obviously helps AB and Boucher coming in at 6 and 7.

[umpire]

I do not agree with you Gambit. On Day 2 before lunch they scored 44 off 20 odd overs and mind you both Kallis and AB were set. Kallis was out not given and AB was plumb last night. Not sure why they were crawling.

Well, it certainly was more positive than their bowling behind the legs tactic in Chennai. Good to see them play in a more positive frame in this last test. However, should India be in a dominating position in the next test, I expect them to re-employ negative tactics again...and in a big way as they now have the lead in the series and will do anything and everything to avoid a level series...if that means a protracted, attritional draw played through negative tactics, they will do it. Which is why India has got to really play out of their skins to get back in the next test. They have to go all out for the win.
