South Africa haven't got off to the best of replies

[Vrock]

South Africa beat India by 5 wickets. One more game win/draw would equal them with the record for unbeaten streak. 21 games by aussies in 2001 I think. Jan-May.

My mom switched in between watching the final test and this match - she said she couldn't take all the tension !

[Vrock]

I don't get sony asia tv on my sky so i dont get most asian crikcet that they show. I think S.Africa have one key which will always give them a chance. Justin Kemp.

[Zainub]

I watched some highlights - very, very briefly. I got the impression SA bowled pretty tight. Less then 250 on sub-continent pitches is not a winning score - India let down by batsman I think. They were due a failure, after all the non stop massive high scoring games against Sri Lanka, a series which they won 6-1.

[Vrock]

Certainly. Pollock has been bowling really well certainly in the one-dayers. I saw him against NZ and he was bowling as well as I have ever seen him.

[DomainK]

No doubt SA bowled very well. But they must not underestimate India at this stage. Next match wilm be interesting.

[Vrock]

It will be, SA have something tio fight for though. To equal the unbeaten streak set by Aus.
