SOUTH AFRICA
=============
Proteas confidence must be sky high after the clean sweep they make in the ODI Series against the Indians. Smith confidence is also back after scoring runs in the last ODI. Pollock and Ntini dominance may continue in the TEST Series.
INDIA
======
Indians Put a good fight in the side match to sneak a win. A show lead by Pathan and Ganguly in batting. Rest of the batsman have to put some form to challenge the RSA. Ganguly made an amazing return. Can he deliver against against SA is still a question. ???

It is really heartening to see Team India bouncing back to form after their debacle in the ODIs
The performance of Team India needs all praise. They have played with lot of confidence and were at their very best in all the departments of the game.
Sreesanth has been rightly rewarded for his accurate bowling approach. He has really improved a lot since the first innings and one could see the fire in him to perform and prove a point. He has really troubled the South African batsman a lot. There is tremendous potential in him to develop into a very good seamer.
Sreesanth bowled to his full length and controlled his swing very well. One was reminded of the great Kapil who was known for his deadly swing bowling.
The Kerala speedster simply ran through the South African batsmen and full honors to this young lad, who is surely going to be a force to be reckoned with.
While Sreesanth bothered the South African batsmen with his fiery spell, it was Laxman who stood like a rock and chipped in with a useful contribution and made sure that Team India was on the road to victory.
The South African batting has been completely exposed. Their batsmen have never been able to put pressure on the Indian bowlers, who have been right on top in this Test.
One needs to congratulate Team India for their superb fielding also. Particularly the way they have taken the catches, and their fast running in the outfield. It just goes onto prove that Team India is enjoying their cricket and are a highly motivated lot, the transformation every one of us have been waiting for.
JOHANNESBURG, Dec 18: India recorded their maiden Test victory on South African soil by winning the first cricket Test by a comprehensive 123-run margin with more than a day and a half to spare at the Wanderers on Monday.
India have lost four and drawn five of the nine Tests on their three previous visits to South Africa. This is also only their 27th win from 194 matches abroad, a measly 13.47 win percentage.
Congratulations to team india
We love u Team India !!!!!!!!
Now that Team India recorded first ever win in the South African soil, the focus shifts to the next Test at Durban. And all of us are eager to see Team India repeat their superlative performance.
