^ Well of course that is his trademark cliche that he wouldn't wanna let go. In case if he fails to say that today though...
 
This deserved 3 test matches atleast. Fck u bcci.I guess SA got scared when faf got out keeping in mind their famous choking history. That's why when Steyn came he went straight to philander and said something. Then didn't try to hit a single ball.
 
Any team (maybe apart from Aussies) would have gone for a draw. Its a test match draw is better than a loss. I remember in one match, India needed 2 balls 2 runs with 2 wickets remaining. Ashwin left the penultimate ball, and was run out on the last ball. The match was a tie.
 
SA had real good chance to win but i do think they choked a little faf run out duminy not contributing or else they had a good chance. not to ignore our seamers conceded way too many boundaries on a good track but then again they were tired and had bowled way too many overs. Acceptable result no one wins no one loses.
 
Looks like BCCI cherry picked the venues for the tests. India unbeaten @ Jo'burg and SA haven't won a single game @ Durban since '08. Lost 4 tests in a row against Aus, Eng, India, SL. Also it will be interesting to see what kind of an effect Ashwin will be able to make in the next test.

I remember that match,i think, ashwin refused to take single in the second last ball never understood why he did its not like he is a top order batsmen who can hit big in the last ball.
 
A bit surprised but not much... He simply cannot sustain in all formats at his age now.
