India had gone to conquer South Africa after completion of 150 years of migration of Indians there.But one of the migrant Hasim Amla batted superbly and saved his new home country from disaster.The score line (2-3) shows that their is a strong fight in between these two teams,but our jobless cricket expert BP thinks the other way.At first what is the reason behind touring fast and furious protea's before the WC.When WC will be on slow tracks this tour gave nothing except criticism to those poor guys(no need to mention who are they) who failed to perform.Batting both top and middle order failed completely before the South African pace battery.The SACHIN 'storm', LAXMAN 'luck' and SEHWAG 'strokeplay' saved the test series,but the youth(oh,emerging promising youth) failed severely at the ODI series.Where's bench strength when M.Vijay failing consistantly and playing and playing again.This tour warned that their is nothing in batting line up except Sachin,Sehwag and Laxman.Only Kohli showed some resistance.MSD the Indian skipper scored only 75 runs@15.00 and walked out from the pitch like his SONATA ad 'WAIT MAT KAR'. Dhoni consistantly avoided himself to promote up the order. Yuvi has just 91 runs in his account and Raina also failed.Another trend we saw in this series that INDIAN TEAM relyed on bowlers to score the runs and to win the match.With out of form batsmans we are dreaming of winning World Cup.And also the in-form batsmans are not playing.Bowler bowled well in this series but some attacking spin is expected in the WC from our tweakers.
