The third Test of the Gandhi-Mandela series have poised into another lame match as after India’s paltry 215, Indian spinners proved too good for South Africa as the visitor starting the second day from first day afternoon’s 11 for 2 lost their 8 wickets in the morning session much before the lunch.
South Africa all out for 79, the lowest in Indian pitch by them. But, Australian and English crickters are not happy with the outcome as they slammed the Nagpur pitch. But, many of them shot back at their comment as recently W.A.C.A, Perth, which is traditionally known as heaven for fast bowler, has seen a high scoring draw match. Total six batsmen have scored a hundred, including Ross Taylor 290 and David Warner’s 253.
Playing on turning wickets was great fun. It is mostly about facing your mental fears,prepared to attach, rotate strike @StarSportsIndia key

This pitch in Nagpur is nothing short of diabolical for Test Cricket … Telling me that was prepared to last 5 days..!!!!!!!!!!

Indian spinners R Ashwin have taken 5 and Ravindra Jadeja has taken 4 wickets while leg-spinner Amit has taken the wicket of JP Duminy, who played a stubborn innings of 35, the highest by a South Africa.
But, twitter blames Indian pitch.

Even if India declare their 2nd innings at 0-0 & have 136 to defend, they can still win this match!

I never thought that I will say this but today as an Indian Cricket Fan ‘Am ashamed, We’re sorry to hurt Test Cricket like this’ #INDvSA

SA: 79 (Allout!) Not sure of intolerance in the country but there is a lot of intolerance for spin balling outside India. #INDvSA
