He is a typical racist man. He could have spend his time with England & advised them how to bat against Johnson,siddle,harris so that they have not met the whitewash with such huge margins which is shame on them.
This young Indian team is too good for South africa. SA lucked out in the first test, and India could hv easily drawn the second. Boycott should go lecture his useless England team, who cant even stand up to any Aus bowlers.

but boycott is putting a trap for Indian so we do as he says !!! India needs plan it properly so we win first and then have few pitches where we can try to create foreign conditions.
Lets be happy and proclaim that BCCI is powerful body. Why Not? Gentlemen for too long we have been slaves and I support BCCI in every issue they take and make other country cricket bodies as slaves. If we are not powerful then we will be finished. Let us support BCCI and make it more powerful and not be slaves for all the ICC ruling of WADA,and other tech which is being imposed on to make money. We should remove Duglous and Lewies method and adapt the system which is recommend by an Indian. That is our job as sports lovers as it has been recommend by Mr.Gavaskar and has better accuracy. Can you the writer give the details to the public. ?
For too long MS Dhoni has got away with his captaincy in test cricket. He is worlds best captain in One day and has changes are class. But our bowlers and Batsman have given him support when they won in India. When you don't attach on fast pitches one cant get wickets. We lost as Dhoni did not set an attacking field to fast bowlers in both the test.we will all see the same issue in the next test match.
Nowadays everything in all part of the world is tailor made to suit Indian Team.After all paymaster(read IPL Contracts)calls the tune.More of an economic/cricket crazy country win than Sporting Achievement
In the first day of the second test match almost 30 overs were short due to bad light. Had India played those 30 overs, things would have been different. Almost 110 runs wud have been scored considering the way in which our batsmen were playing. Also SA bowler's morale wud have been lost. The badlight was only a technical problem which cud have been avoided. So some badluck to India also helped SouthAfrican course.
Although the pitch in Durban was dry, the pitch in johannesburg was not dry. Whenever the pitches were seaming, the Indian fast bowlers have done better than the South african couterpart. But when ever the pitches were dry not offering anything for fast bowlers, the extra phase and fitness of the south Africans cane on handy. This was clearly evident in Johannesburg in the first innings I think the south Africans made the Durban pitch very dry purposely to dent the fast bowling attack of Indians

The Pitches were not as usual SA wickets. The deal was IPL Matches. Half of the IPL Matches might be Played in SA. And this type of Pitches may help 5 day contest. Already the series cut short and Tests ending in 3 days will be more lose for SA Board. It will be like already weak and now carrying too.
This is what happens when cricket crazy nation allowed the interest of national team being hizacked to reward an individual who was dragging his position in team for three years & wanted an easy farewell.the team was left with no time to prepare for a tough series & fans missed out on an extended contest to satisfy the wish of an individual who was made bigger than the game unfortunately by shameless BCCI

Sachin Played ODIs too? BCCI was very cunning to cut short the SA Tour in the name of sachin. As usual the responsibility of all the debacles on sachin even when he is not in laying XI.
