Van Wyk surprised me with his counter attacking knock full of sweeps as well as Bracewell who despite his attacking instincts buckled down and supported van wyk. One thing I don't understand is, is india only a world class team when pitch is FLAT or pitch is spinnings sideways?

Well there has never been any doubt about that.. you just need to look back at recent 8-0 against england and australia. They have never won a series in SA or Aus and their record outside subcontinent is abysmal.
