As in the previous discussions i said SA is proving themself again as best team of Test matches. After losing early wickets in the first innings against pakistan, they hold back and took wickets of pakistan in their second innings. we were hoping to see pak giving target of 250, which i think by now will be short of almost 50 runs... Best of Luck SA.

South Africa is now the best test team in world cricket.
they have bowlers ,real good bowlers not like Indian ones.
one day they play good other day they give away 70 runs in 10 overs and after that we put them on our shoulders, keep chanting for them.
South Africa have real good batsmen too.
Can you please say me about the depth of Indian batting.
They were not good on home conditions against England apart from Dhoni.
Kohli played one good knock although he is a class.
Please explain me why Manoj Tiwari struggles to find a place despite scoring a century in debut test and in one dayers and T20 in Sri Lanka.
Ashwin tries to fool a batsman with his bowling style and gets hit for sixes.
Well thats Indian cricket.

Each team has its good and bad phases. Remember- team India won the World Cup in 2011- not a very long time back. The team is going through transition, so we might see good results after some time, if planned and executed properly.
Yet, Manoj Tiwary's continuing non-inclusion does raises some eyebrows.

Not only World champ, India were top test team around 2-3 years back, if i am not wrong. As per me its not because of transition, i think we should have different teams in all formats. i am not sure about Manoj tiwari, but i am surprised why Wasim jafar is not included in the team?
Inclusion of bhajji??? just by going his past record against Australia is not not enough... lets see what happens tomorrow.

Well they won the cup on their own soil.
Ganguly's team was in finals in South Africa and Kapil Dev won in England.
India never prepare bouncy wickets to train themselves despite they keep losing abroad ,remember whitewash in England and Australia??
Thats why they never have quality fast bowlers apart from a few like Kapil Dev and
Srinath and Zaheer who is not able to perform now.

They are really a hard-worker and continually learns about their mistakes or negative points to avoid it,that makes perfect them.In past they were dominating on ranking 1st or 2nd and still we can see the same position they have at present

I read in another discussion that South Africa won the second test match also against Pakistan. They are proving to be a tough team to play against and have a terrific pace attack as well as good batsmen.

(and still they are favorite & No.1 team for me from last 15+yrs.).

Same here, they are also my favorite since lance klusener was their main striking batsman. when they fight against India, i always want them to win :) (though i am Indian). unfortunately they have never won world cup.

Well,South Africa is becoming a big force in test matches.They won Series in Australia and this one should be in their pockets in no time.Pakistan did not back themselves well in second innings.Plus they could not add more pressure on south africa on first innings and only got a small lead.They could not beat the big partnerships sadly.I do not think Pakistan will win any of the matches or would be able to draw any.If things are right, it would be whitewash by South african standards.Another interesting thing is, currently South Africa has the best bowlers and batsmen.Their top order and middle order is getting runs and their bowlers are currently the best in the world.Even after getting into a tough situation they were able to do a great come back.Only great teams have been able to do those things.Currently with out a shadow of the doubt, is the best in world.But then it great centuries by Younis and his partner.That was tough considering the whole team batted in first match.Thanks!
