5 reasons why Team India lost at Durban

No attack stance

Jacques Kallis

Other than Kallis, who scored a fine century, three other South African batsmen scored half centuries and three other missed out narrowly getting out in the 40’s. This goes to show that how comfortable their batsmen were and how they were allowed to set it. Hardly any edges happened and a gap was always on the offering to score easy runs. Never was a leg slip or a short fine leg employed to force the error. At one point, there was a skip missing which in a Test would indicate extreme defensive thinking. The Indians were surely guilty of letting the singles happen, bowling outside the off stump and not attacking enough which thus allowed the South Africans to capitalize.
