Vijay didnt get runs in the second innings because he steered a half volley into Amla's hands. You are not watching the match, are you?
Pitch hardest to bat on in 4th innings shock horror.
No one complains so vehemently when good deliveries get carted around on flat pitches though. Just consider this karma. And you know what she is.
Knew some smarty pants would up with such a response. Here it is far more a chance of getting the unplayable deliveries. That's the point.
I have issues with flat tracks as well. Mentioned the same earlier.
Yeah we all do. But no one makes a hue and cry about it when a match is ongoing.
What's the issue with that though? There will be other pitches and other games (see Australia v New Zealand, 2nd Test) where batting is easier.
Morkel 's spell yesterday was brilliant. Used the conditions superbly to get reverse and reaped the rewards.
No its been spinning since day 1. The bat first advantage isn't as big on this track at all because of how much it's helped spin since the beginning.
The problem is luck becomes an over riding factor.
He also had Kallis, a fit Steyn, and an in form Amla. And Smith himself.

Luck's always a factor in a batsman's innings.
If luck is such a big factor then why have Vijay, Pujara and AB been so much better than the others?
You sound like the Cricinfo end-of-innings report.
