Gibbs set the alarm bells ringing ? Wat a joke !! If they are playing at 80%, we are playing at 30%. Wat does that prove? Nothing !! We are losing and thats all that matters. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that if both teams play to their potential, at 100%, india would be plundering 300+ in every match and S Africa would be strugling for 200. !!
There has been no match in the series till now where India has batted first. Had that been the case and even if India would be scoring like we are now, 150-160, S Africa would be struggling to go past 100. With the kind od start their great captain gives them, 2 down for nothing, and the ''CHOKERS'' that they are, this argument is not baseless !
South African performance might look astonbishing if u take a look at the margins of losses in this series but they've been nowhere close to "best". There batting hasn;t been all frifghtening but they've done well to make merry out of India's misery (read fielding). And as to their bowling, India scores might project them as great & consistent bolwing but if u take alook at all Indian batsmen once, u'll in fact see that's not the case. If a batsmen is tuck on the crease or has no idea how to play a short ball, even kenyan bowlers could return with those lovely figures. But yeah the only area where they've excelled is their fielding. They have no doubt set a new standards in this series so far.
