Beating India in India is always difficult. Smith is aware of this as his comment shows. The Australians and South Africans are good against pace, but suspect against spin.

Mickey Arthus issue will definitely affect SA team's performance on India tour.
Indian pitches are slow and spin friendly. Teams like Australia, England, SA will never find green top wickets in Indian subcontinent. And none of these teams have good spinners. So, Beating India in India is nearly impossible since for Ponting's Australia defeated them 2-1 in 2004-2005.
But this also a fact that Indians find it very hard to play on Green Top in Australia and SA, and thats why they could never won a series in these two countries. The won in NZ as flat wickets were prepared in NZ last time to suit Indian team and TV coverage.

This is a fair practice. When India goes to Australia and South Africa, they invariably find only pace friendly wickets which suit the home teams and so the visiting teams should have no complaints in playing on spinner friendly pitches. In any case, any team claiming to be the world champs should be able to play on any kind of pitches and win. This applies to both India and South Africa as also to Australia.

Also, pitch tampering f they are losing. In Kanpur last time they bug@ed the pitch when trailing 0-1.

Looks like True Indians have spoken here. Too much with the pride for the nation
India just have a good batting line-up with ordinary bowling and bad fielding.This is not enough for a world class cricket team. Only aussies and SA'a are above ordinary with teams complete in most departments of the game.They play complete cricket. Hence the best result Indians can hope against the south africans is a draw.

Nadeem, Well said. There are always one or two morons keep claiming India lost because they lost those last three wickets to part timer.
These moron conviniently forgets tht India was in the winning position and could have won the Test easily had the Umpires done their job right

Mr Nadeem, please do not bwecome emotional about our country.
In Sydney, more than bad umpiring, it were our own batsmen who lost the match. They lost last 3 wickets in 2 overs to a part time bowler and later to hide their incapabilities they made a lot of noise.
The fact is that Australia and SA have better teams than Team India as of now, even if India is No. 1 among 9 countries who play test cricket.
India just have a good batting line-up with ordinary bowling and bad fielding.This is not enough for a world class cricket team.

Shame on you and your filthy attempt to downgrade Indian cricket. Every country makes pitches that favors their team.. WAKE UP !!!
