South Africa start strongly against India

Question

South Africa could not have made a better start against India during the first Test of the two match series that will decide the No. 1 Test ranking. Hashim Amla (253 not out) and Jacques Kallis (173) were instrumental in their 558-run (declared) total. The Proteas then dismissed their hosts for 233 and enforced the follow-on, and then quickly dismissed India’s openers for a second time.

Answer 1

Dale Steyn’s 7-51 was the standout bowling performance for South Africa during India’s first innings. Only Virender Sehwag (109) offered any real resistance for India.
