http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 crushed the Indian batting line up once again, to dismiss them on 190 runs. The Indians could not hold on to their plan well, while Lonwabo Tsotsobe played a crucial role on part of the hosts. This time the lengths
and the line is what disturbed the visitors to a massive extent. The answer to that was to be seen nowhere, and the South African team ran through the ranks of the tourists in style. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 tried valiantly to battle the pace and the spin, and to put up a fight
in terms of a huge score, but that could not happen as the Proteas took wickets with regular intervals.
The Indians won the toss and elected to bat, not knowing that the decision will run against them. The weather depicted overcast conditions. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dale-c52110 Steyn and Tsotsobe troubled the Indian batsmen by swinging the deliveries outside the off stump. They were taken
with confidence on some occasions, but that was not a long term agenda and proved futile in the end.
The likes of Sachin Tendulkar could not fire for the Indians once again, which is the problem at the moment. His re-entry in the ODI squad meant that his form will be gained from, but it seems as if the legend is not able to make it to the best of his abilities
at the moment. Only Yuvraj Singh and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 could contribute towards the team’s cause, with the former scoring 53 runs and latter shining with a 38. The running between the wickets was also below par to say the least, as lack of coherence was evident.
Tendulkar survived two run out attempts, before he ran http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-Miller-c53105 and Kohli back in the hut. Nothing could be done as one
of the fiery players of the Indian camp was no more on the pitch. This was pretty much the story for the Indian boys, who could not sustain the opponent’s attack in a respectable manner.
The result was that on the Wanderer’s track; the visitors got out for only 190 runs. Whether this will be a sufficient score on this track is still a question, but considering the form of the South Africans, this might not be a stiff one.
