4) The resurgence of the Indian pace attack
Bowling has been India’s weak spot over the last few years but with the return of Zaheer Khan, India, now, has a fine blend of experience and pace in their current bowling line up. The trio of Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Shami bowled with a lot of heart and pace in order to give India a crucial lead and were very impressive in the first innings.
They would consider themselves unlucky for not picking up more wickets in the 2nd innings as a lot of chances went begging owing to edged falling short of the fielders. Nevertheless, all the three bowlers picked up more than 5 wickets each in the match and thus would be going into the Durban match with a lot of confidence, something that the Indian team would be only too happy about.
