In the recent times teams have been flying high after wins in their own country which I would say is expected against the foreigners(barring some exceptions though). In SA case it has come behind the series against NZ who are ranked well below them. I expected them to lose in India when it was Captain Smith earned a comfortable draw for the SA.
I would like to reiterate the point that if not for pollock and smith, SA team wud be beaten flat and hollow. This is just one of the defeats(I did not expect SA to lose in a local match though).

Hellow Mr pradeep. Australia need to be cautioned. SA is going to do what England done to Aussies. They are a formidable side. They lost 1-6 to New Zealand in 2004 and beat them 4-0 now. Moreover, they rattled the indian batting. Even they played England better than that of Aussies. I hope aussies is to eat humble pie.
