Uphill task for India against South Africa

India will need to get its act together when they face South Africa in the third and final cricket Test. The Indian team, after rising to glorious heights in Johannesburg with a historic 123-run win in the first Test, plummeted to a despairing low when it surrendered to the envied pace attack of the hosts in Durban Saturday.
With the series levelled 1-1, the Indians will face an uphill at the Newlands stadium. It will need more than 100 percent from Rahul Dravid and co to handle the fiery pace attack of South Africa. The Indian top order has failed miserably. Especially the openers have failed to give a good start, putting a lot of pressure on the middle order.
The bowlers have performed well and it will need another sterling effort from them to help India pocket the series and make amends for the 0-4 drubbing in the one day series. Sreesanth, Zaheer Khan and Vikram Raj Vir Singh have troubled the South African batsman. But the return to form by some of them like Graeme Smith and Herschelle Gibbs will obviously be a matter of concern for Dravid. After the convincing win in Durban, South Africa is high on spirit and will be looking to go for the kill in the third Test. For India, there is an opportunity to make history by becoming the first Indian team to win a Test series on South African soil. India Team (from): Rahul Dravid (Captain), Virender Sehwag, Wasim Jaffer, Sachin Tendulkar, V.V.S. Laxman, Sourav Ganguly, M.S. Dhoni, Anil Kumble, Zaheer Khan, S. Sreesanth, Munaf Patel, Gautam Gambhir, Dinesh Karthik, Harbhajan Singh and V.R.V. Singh.
South Africa Team (from): Graeme Smith (Captain), A.B. de Villiers, Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis, Herschelle Gibbs, Ashwell Prince, Mark Boucher, Shaun Pollock, Andre Nel, Dale Steyn, Makhaya Ntini, Paul Harris, Andrew Hall, Morne Morkel and Paul Adams.
