India v South Africa 2007-08

Wisden's review of India v South Africa, 2nd Test, 2007-08

'We'll force India out of their comfort zone' - Arthur

South Africa will stick to their aggressive bowling strategy of drawing India's heavyweight batting line-up out of the comfort zone

Gavaskar slams India's players for IPL distractions

Sunil Gavaskar has slammed India for going down to an innings defeat in the second Test in Ahmedabad and raised questions about the players' priorities

Ganguly lives for another battle

Unlike his top-order mates Sourav Ganguly was taking it back to South Africa, relying on instinct. He was battling against adversity and thriving, like India abroad recently. But, like India, it's also dangerous to expect too much of him

Planning and perseverance pay off

South Africa can proudly lay claim to having India's number throughout the Motera Test
