The second test match between South Africa and India ended in just three days. India was expected to perform very well here and to make the series 1-0. Kumble,the Indian team captain, did say that he was a bit unhappy with the pitch, but that was no excuse!!! After the test match ended, India did manage to break some records, but.....all were in favour of the opponent side.
India, which is said to have the most strongest and the most experienced batting l
ine-up in the world cricket just crumbled on their home soil for 76!!!! It was a disaster. Everybody failed. S.African bowlers ripped across the Indian batting. The highest scorer for India was Irfan Pathan at 21*.Dale Steyn took a 5-wicket haul. It was expected. He had to deliver sooner or later.
S. Africa then put up a massive total on the board in their 1st innings of 494. The hero of the innings was AB De Villiers. He scored his maiden double-ton in test innings and finished at 217*.
India was able to score just 328 runs in their 2nd innings and lost the match by a huge margin-
"an innings and 90runs."
Let's hope and keep our fingers crossed that India win the next match a Kanpur, which starts on 11th April, and atleast level the series.
