Batsmen were well set, Indian bowlers looked horrible, but once the batsman relaxed they came back in the game. When the batsmen are on fire, they can't do sh!t.

Not to mention their horrible athleticism on the field.

To me current #1 test side is SA, but only if they would stop choking. Good batsmen (Smith, Amla, AB, Kallis, JP, Prince), great seam attack (DS, Morkels, Parnell), great fielders all of em. Only thing they lack is 1 good spinner

LOL @ batsmen throw their wickets away

India have done better than other teams with a relatively weak attack. They've earned every bit of it, so credit to them. On paper, SA might be balanced, but we've outplayed them, thanks to our batsmen and pretty decent bowlers.
