I am talking about their current form. SA could have won 2-0 against Pakistan instead of drawing the series 1-1. SA Scores in Last 5 test matches Test 1 - 253 & 275/3 Test 2 - 326 & 182/6 Test 3 - 409 Test 4 - 249 & 232 Test 5 - 517 Only once SA managed to score 500+. 5 centuries were scored - 3 by ABDV (and one in 90s), 1 by Amla and 1 double century by Smith. The batsmen (apart from ABDV) are not in a very good form (including Amla). The only worry for India would be SA bowlers Steyn/Philander who are as usual in good form. There has been a decline in SA form since Kirsten left.

So you are just looking at the scores at face value without the variables of pitches, conditions and such. There is no team in the world that can score 500 in every single innings ever, it is not possible. So to say they are decline because of that is kind of mind boggling.

I find their top guns slightly out of form, all I am saying is the contest will be good and India have high chances of drawing/winning the series.

Pak could have won 2-0 in tests if not for that one session collapse against Tahir. SA scoring only 500 only once in last 5 tests has to do more with the quality of attack they were facing. Except Smith all of their batsmen are in good touch and they will fancy facing much inferior bowling attack of India at home.
