India Vs South Africa, Clash between the Even

           Arguably this is the clash between the inform teams. The No:1 test team is ready to take on No:2 team in their own den. History is against the Indians, as they are poor tourist in the past. Indians never won a series in South Africa, can they do it this time. This is the most even battle of recent times.
         The best opening pair vs best opening bowling pair, Virendar shewag and Gautam Gambhir are arguably the best opening pair in the world, can they continue their form in the coming series also. They have to be at their best as they are against the best bowling pair in the world, Daryl Steyn and Morne Morkel.
         India, in Dravid has the best no:3 batsman in the world, but he is, off late he has not performed to his potential. But it will be great to see him back in form. On the other hand Hashim Amla is in great form this year with an average of 88 this year.
          Coming to number four, Both teams are with legends, India is having the greatest batsman of all time, Sachin Tendulkar, having is best year with the bat. kallis who is also in form with four centuries this year. He has an extra point with his bowling. VVS Laxman and AB Devillers are coming next, even this position is also at par. I am not ready to compare vvs with Devillers but still he has just scored the highest individual score by a south African recently concluded series. Suresh raina and A Prince, the next to come, here i will rate Prince a bit higher than Raina, because of the condition suits Prince than Raina. Boucher and Dhoni, here also Experience and home advantage is with Boucher so i will say Boucher will be better than Dhoni.
          All these top order batsman are in form but who will perform on the day is more important. My prediction will be 2-1 in favour of South Africa.
