| Author: Mahadevan PV 24 Jan 2011 | Member Level: Bronze Points : 1 | India's top order one again fails to give india a good start. Firstever series win in SA remains a dream. Only Parthiv and Yusuf showed some resistance to the solid bowling attack. Other indian batsmen were in a hurry to go back to pavilion. Rohit Sharma once again proved that the selectors had taken correct decision by denying him a spot in 15 member Indian team for world cup starting next month. Indian top order raises concern over their worst performance in the series and All indian fans hopes for the best because most experienced players such as sachin, sehwag and gambhir will prove their consistency.. Jago india jago.
