India were hammered hard in the first Test by an innings defeat and it was a very poor prformence which not many people expected and second test might not be different as the kingsmead pitch as good for fast bowlers and South African fast bowles must be relieshing the challenge there. India will have to come up with somthing special to comeback in this series.

India was expected to have a good series in South Africa but the first test was anything but good as they were put right down to earth from sky high confidence. India will have to play out of their skin to make sure they are labeled as the Home Lions. Their performences in India against Australia, and New Zealand were so good that their was strong believe that they are going to win in South Africa at last but so far things are not looking impressive for them and African’s will be looking to get the No.1 Postion in the test.
