Batters have to graft their way to score runs in South Africa, says Makhaya Ntini after India Test series
The HinduFast bowler Makhaya Ntini who was a commentator for the two Test series between South Africa and India said that batters have to grind it out and graft their way to score runs in South Africa. The massive first innings lead of 163 created positivity for the fast bowlers to express themselves and bowl India cheaply as they did and win the first Test by an innings and 32 runs. India’s batters must have seen the spots where their bowlers bowled, and feared what would happen if the South African bowlers landed on the area from where the ball had misbehaved. The fast bowlers dominated the two Test matches, but there were two centuries in the South African side and one century in the Indian side ; if Rahul had not scored that century, India would have been rolled over, and probably dismissed under 100 runs.
