indian team is performing very well from last couple of years but i feel its the pressure of being no .1 side and the expectations from indian publing mounting on the indian team and affecting the performance.i feel it has hyped quite a bit as the series of world no .1 side which has really pressurised the team because indian team is not new to these conditions as players like sachin dravid and many other indian players does have enough experience of african soil.its the pressure which may not allowing indian team to play freely.hope indian team would do better job in this 2nd test match.

Hi shailesh,
Does not it sound funny that India being the number one test team is struggling hard to save face. I often wonder what comes up with the Indian players that they do not play up to their potentiality?
Something is wrong somewhere.

definitely india has to learn to face the pressure situations and to come up with flying colors when they are under pressure .actually this has been india's biggest weakness from long time which cause india the 1996,2003 world cup.so it would be interesting to see how india faces this challenges and how can they find some way to come back in this series.and this would be definitely a big boost for the world cup if they could draw or win this series and then it would definitely send a strong messsge to all other teams about the character of indian team.

Jussie ya mate..he is the god of the cricket.but i feel even sachin is feeling some pressure now as everyone is expecting him to score heavily in every match and which had shown when he was on the verge of his 50 th ton.hope he would win this series for india because this can be the last tour for him to southafrica.:).keep mylotting.
