If the South African team wins games against Australia, I hope it's due to being a better team - and vice versa - with no vileness and poor sportsmanship! The events of the Indian tour are still at the forefront of our memories over here. So please don't take this as a swipe against the Proteas! Come to think of it, (she says hopefully) perhaps both the Australian team and the South African one will both relish playing an intense competitive series ... without all the dodgyness and revoltingness both sides have recently experienced.

If the media and the ICC/national sporting bodies get too foul, perhaps our lot could all flounce onto a chartered jet and threaten to go away...and get the Proteas to come along too. Actually I'm entranced by the fantasy of an international players strike - demanding that the BCCI be suspended from the ICC for a couple of years....that would certainly lift the Spirit of Cricket! And then NZ could poach all their players...(well, the nice ones anyway).

I agree that South Africe have indeed been in supreme form, infact the best in the world in the past year, I have completely no idea why you would think that South Africa should have won the India series? India beat them fair and square in the third test, so why should India be docked a point? Because the pitch was good for bowling? All teams, all around the world, create pitches that play to the strengths of the home team. We were playing with two people who could spin the ball, and also batsmen with experience playing on such tracks. So what's the problem. However, other than that, I do agree that they are going to dethrone the Australians. In fact, in the near future I see Australia, India, and South Africa as equally matched, especially in the form which the latter two are in at the moment.

THe reason why we think SA should have won, is because the pitch for the third match was not only prepared for the Indians (Which we all accept happens), but it was a sub standard pitch, which resulted in a warning from the ICC. IT would have been good to watch them battle the third out on a decent pitch.

mr.Shashank Anonymus , india , won in third test , bec. it was nonsence wicket , where ball was turning from day1, and in kanpur they lost miserebly not bec. pitch helped faster bowlers , but bec. pitch was true, for ur knoledge , true test pitch is one which has bit of moment for fast bowlers on two days and then it starts turning from day three, not a dust bowl so in summary on true wicket , they can't beat this sa team , and why r u fooling around on aussies -india test series , fro ur memory , mr. they lost it 2-1 , and if u say that bec. of wrong umpiring decision, then mr. they won in perth , because , hussy and symopnd were given poor decisiopn there, so stop making cryfool over cricket umpiring decision , because one day truth will be in front of u , only bcci's money can't makeindia world beater , it comes from professionlisam and big heart , not from glamour not from just the fact that only great thing about indian cricket is that its cricket follower, not cricket if u leave tendulkar, kumble , india would had been insulted in australiya
