one wicket away.. I'd put this win on par with Adelaide win.
Best test win was obviously Eden Gardens one for me but this one on par with Adelaide.
India weren't even suppose to give any competition to SA in tests.

News just in ... Kaif got a pair against Haryana. Joginder Sharma has match figures of 10 for 42 with 4 UP wickets still remaining. :laugh:

A replacement is needed for VRV Singh. He's not ready for international matches.

Hopefully munaf will be fit for next match if not.. Pathan couldn't possibly do a worse job than VRV. At least Pathan can bat a bit.

Joginder Sharma definitely has a good shot for the tour of England unless VRV or RP pull off something special in the rest of the Ranji season.

All over. A fantastic, historic, unbelievable win coming from behind after being massive underdogs. Awesome performance from the bowling even though they lost it a little bit in the second innings.

This, I hope, spells the emergence of Sreesanth (we won't know yet until the series is over). Zaheer Khan was great in support and provided the 'pack hunting' mentality that was sorely missing.

A consistent, pace attack from both sides will get you far if you ever want to win test series overseas, and hopefully this was a first step towards that goal. Kumble had to come to the party in the second innings to bail out some of the bowling, but thats all right as with the exception of VRV, the pace bowlers didn't lose their brains as they are apt to do.

A good aggressive fast bowler is vital. Hopefully, Sreesanth can keep his aggression without having it overpower him, and keep working on his game, and if he does that, then he can be a long term solution at the pace bowling position, something that really hasn't been fulfilled since Srinath. In the end, Sreesanth should get the MOM for me.

First test win in South Africa to India. Quite a convincing victory, too. Well done!!!!!!

I expect SAF to hit back hard next test, but it would be incredible if India could keep this up.

Smith under loads of pressure.

Great win for India, especially coming of the losses in the OD series. Congrats to India they played the better cricket and deserved the win.

So how high do you Indian's rate this win?, can't be above Kolkatta, but close to the Adelaide win i think..
