South Africa won the toss and will bat | |||
Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the 2nd Test between South Africa and India from Kingsmead in Durban.This is the second game of a three match series with the Indians, despite losing the one-day international series 4-0, won their first ever Test in South Africa with a 123 run triumph at Johannesburg. | |||
The defeat has shaken the home side down to its roots with, not so much wholesale changes in personnel, but certainly wholesale changes in the order. Skipper Graeme Smith will open with AB deVilliers while Herschelle Gibbs, who recorded his first ever Test match pair in the first Test, could drop down as far as number six.There is also talk of Morne Morkel being given his debut while the visitors will almost certainly keep faith with the successful side of last week. | |||
This is the 18th occasion that South Africa and India have met in Tests. South Africa have won 7 and India 4 with 6 draws. | |||
The Indians broke new ground in the first Test, winning their first ever Test in South Africa, so they will be targetting another notch in their wins column. South Africa have won 4, 5 have finished in draws while the India column now reads 1. | |||
Kingsmead in Durban is another ground where the home side do not have the greatest of records with 11 of the 33 games being won by South Africa while 9 have gone the way of the opposition. 13 have been draws. | |||
However, India will want to forget the last time they played a Test here - South Africa winning by 328 runs back on the Boxing Day test of ten years ago. India were bowled out for just 100 and 66 in their two innings. Their previous meeting here ended in a draw. | |||
The first ever Test match played between the sides was at Durban in November 1992, a game that was affected by the weather and saw just two and a half innings played. | |||
Gary Kirsten is the leading run scorer in Test matches at Durban with 1048 runs at an average of 65.50 (11 matches). Shaun Pollock is the leading wicket taker, claiming 38 scalps at 22.02 in his 10 games on the ground. | |||
The highest individual score for South Africa against India is Herschelle Gibbs' 196 at Port Elizabeth in 2001/02. | |||
The highest individual score for India against South Africa is the 169 made by Sachin Tendulkar at Cape Town in 1996/97. | |||
The best bowling performance for South Africa against India is Lance Klusener's 8-64 at Calcutta in 1996/97. | |||
The best bowling performance for India against South Africa is 7-87 by Harbhajan Singh in Kolkata in 2004/05. | |||
