Who cares?Forgetting the two final wicket draws iirc?
South Africa outplayed Eng in 3 games to 1
Australia just outplayed South Africa 2 games to 1. South Africa still won the series.

For me, before the England series, too many people seemed to forget that about South Africa. The way people talked you would have thought they'd beaten India, Australia and England at home, instead of simply playing well with the odd bad test costing them a series win.Yeah, good point, well made.
You don't win for taking 19 wickets - Test cricket does not work like that. A 1-1 is a 1-1.
obviously it is 1-1.Who cares?

Well then why not get into petty things like the fact that South Africa hammered India in their test win while India's win was a much closer test match? Because it's the result that matters.obviously it is 1-1.
I was just comparing their performance to Ind in SA.
india went into the test series (1st test) with no practice whatsoever and without zaheer khan. hence the huge margin.Well then why not get into petty things like the fact that South Africa hammered India in their test win while India's win was a much closer test match?

no it was pitched short of a good lengthI didn't see it, but was it anything like this in terms of the bounce?
270-280?Yeah they can all bat can't they - and the pitch doesn't really have any demons (yet) - I'd expect them to get around 270-280. Not enough to force a win though.
Lol, yeah Kohli is definitely at fault.What about Kohli? Hyped as the next superstar, yet averaging in the mid-thirties after a pretty representative number of Tests. How can anyone seriously argue he's worth a place in the side above some of the other young guns who have yet to be given an opportunity because of Tendulkar and co. hanging on too long if he doesn't do anything in this match? I haven't seen anything at this, the ultimate level of the game, in which the entire skill set and mental approach are tested to the utmost, to suggest he's anything special.
guy needs to be a bit positive today. can't win by scoring 2 runs an overSo nervous.
