Congrats to South Africa for winning the test series against Pakistan and more salute for their sixth consecutive test series win. In last series against NZ they white washed them by 2-0. And considering the form of SA in Centurion they are invincible in the ground so another white wash may be possible. They have won almost all the test matches played here and lost the one against England due to Mr. Cronje. And the 3 were drawn which were against England too.
But slightly a sigh of relief for Pakistani batsman specially for openers that the pitch doesn't react the way it does at the Wanderers. But it could be a tiring test match for bowlers of Pakistan. Below, is the score card of SA 1st inning batting against India in Centurion.
Though Pakistan bowling attack reacts brilliantly after their batting line up punches a faint total in the second test match. Saeed Ajmal was wonderful to watch picking up 10 wickets in the match. And considering this fresh performance they could show better then the above bowling figures of Indian bowlers. But SA will make sure that there will be nothing for spinners in the third test match. A/c to Misbah they were fifty runs short and if they do so they could beat them too. Unfortunately they lost the chance, which could be brightens if Junaid Khan and Taufeeq Umar were in the team 11. Now, there is nothing to lose for Pakistan in the series except avoiding a white wash. And for that they have to work hard to encrypt the history of Centurion Ground. And by the way Happy Birthday AB De Villiers.... :)
