In the Freedom test series has emerged a completely different Indian team which looks more stable and stronger than the Proteas. The Proteas after smashing the Indian bowlers in the final ODI has not been able to score freely of the Indian bowlers. In the first test they were completely strangled in the spin web of India. No batsmen other than AB Deviliers was able to attack the Indian spinners. But he too got out to a spinner. It was not that Indian batsmen were comfortable against spin but they at least manage to set a comparative total for the Proteas which they failed to chase. There whole batting order collapsed in the second innings as they could only manage 109 to loose the test by 108 runs.
In the second test also the story was not something different. On a good batting pitch the batting order gave a disappointing effort and could only manage 214 out of which 84 was the contribution of Deviliers.
The thing is that they are suffering with injuries previously to More Morkel and JP Duminy but they got there place in the playing 11 in the 2nd test but after the 1st test there two front line newball bowlers Veron Philander and Dale Steyn both are ruled out of the 2nd test. This a major disadvantage for South Africa. Another thing which lacks in the South African team is the inexperience in the team to play in Indian conditions. Also the lack of form of there main batsmen like Hashim Amla JP Duminy and Faf Du Plesis is also a major concern for South Africa.
It is going to be a tough series for the visitors and there current performance as completely drawn them in the spot of bother.
