vvvslaxman Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Don't want to go English, Padosi way by saying everything is our fault not oppositions strength. You guys stepped up in very very vital and crucial sessions and grabbed them by scruff of neck. Everytime India won a session or two you came back to win 2 or 3 sessions. Cat and mouse game was going on until India could not longer sustain it. All credit to your players. Fauf - what a knock, what a fielding ABDV - superb match saving knock, great keeping Steyn - Special spell that broke our spirit Kallis - Dogged resistance even in his last test Morkel, Vern - probing spells throughout the series. South African tail - wagged far better than our tail Fielding - great fielding. CONGRATS. played like no.1 side. NO EXCUSES !!!
amiret Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Congratulations SA . It is unfortunate you can Only be ranked #1 , you deserve to be ranked much higher than this indian team. You are vastly superior to this indian team and have proven it once again.
urbestfriend Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Except Duminy probably every one played their part, no wonder they are the best test team.

No. They may be superior to Indian team , but other teams are inferior to us..Whats travesty is Pakistan team is #4, and Australia is #5.
amiret Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 0th rank? what bakwaas you are talking about Don't think even SA fan would accept your crappy judgement. I meant the rankings do not clearly reflect the distance between the two sides.
Vijy Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 The SA played well, and the 1-0 result is an accurate reflection of the gulf between the two sides.
vvvslaxman Posted December 30, 2013 Author Posted December 30, 2013 I meant the rankings do not clearly reflect the distance between the two sides. What distance.. 5th day SA was fighting to save the test :hmmm: After day 1 lot of moaning that pitch was not suitable for SA. So India did win lot of sessions. It is much lesser than the distance between India and lot of teams like Pakistan, Srilanka. :cantstop:
urbestfriend Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Our batting is better than their batting. After Kallis retirement, they find it difficult to win against a strong bowling test team like Australia.
rkt.india Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 This was certainly one of the most inexperienced Indian test side to tour overseas.
StriKe Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 Everything was top class from Saffers ! only amla had a bad series.. Looking forward for test series against aussies..
vvvslaxman Posted December 30, 2013 Author Posted December 30, 2013 This was certainly one of the most inexperienced Indian test side to tour overseas. Ya. They have to perfect the art of winning session by session instead of looking way infront of the match.
coffee_rules Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 both tests saw all 5 days and all sessions ! Too bad it was a 2 test series.
Brainfade Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 This was certainly one of the most inexperienced Indian test side to tour overseas. And they held their own for the better of the test series. Proud to be a supporter of this team. Congratulations, SA for the gutsy series win.
vvvslaxman Posted December 30, 2013 Author Posted December 30, 2013 And they held their own for the better of the test series. Proud to be a supporter of this team. Congratulations, SA for the gutsy series win. That is all we ask for not rolling over and playing dead.
amiret Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 That is all we ask for not rolling over and playing dead. yes , we should be glad they showed some signs of life and responded to painful stimuli . :haha::haha:
the don Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 After the dissapointment of drawing the test series vs pakistan in uae and losing the odi leg in home conditions , this victory will come as a relief to them , well played indeed, beating india at durban of all places.
Brainfade Posted December 30, 2013 Posted December 30, 2013 That is all we ask for not rolling over and playing dead. The biggest disappointment was the catching. I only watched the matches off and on, must have seen at least 4 chances put down (the worst was the sitter that Ashwin put down in the first match). Wish we had put more effort into fielding - it may have made a difference in J'burg.
vvvslaxman Posted December 30, 2013 Author Posted December 30, 2013 yes , we should be glad they showed some signs of life and responded to painful stimuli . :haha::haha: Your cynicism is as bad as dog poop
