Are South Africans mentally weak?

Don't get too complacent. The series is still up for grabs and SA can win the next one and take the series.

Agreed. I think we are getting ahead of ourselves here, the series is still in the balance and i expect the Saffers to come out fighting. The key moments went our way in this test, Kallis was pretty unlucky in both innings in terms of his dismissals while ABDV and Boucher were given out to poor decisions. We played really well and deservedly won this test match, i'm praying that we can put in a similar performance (maybe a better batting performance) in the next test. We need to win the series before we can start threads like these. If the Saffers win the next test handily and some of the threads on this forum, it is our fans who will look like arrogant c***s. On the actual topic, i think they are mentally weak in the shorter form of the game but they are fine in tests. I think Graeme Smith, ABDV, Amla and especially Dale Steyn are matchwinners.

They've found a new target to blame the loss on- the poor umpire

With the media statements coming in about drunk umpires, sledging and UDRS, I think they have proved that they are mentally weak. Good for us. Now we can complete the job of total mental disintegration in the last test. These media statements show that they are truly scared of us now.

After the 1st test the Saffers became too overconfident IMO and thought that they will most certainly win the series but the way we've come back and won the 2nd test, it looks like the Saffers are really rattled now.....................or all this might even be part of a strategy :hmmm:

No one likes India winning. SAffers, with all that fake bravado, have found an outlet to express their fear. I'm ABSOLUTELY SURE that had we been in their place, India would've taken it on the chin and moved on, rather than blaming all and sundry.
