this is really surprising to me that India the home of cricket should loss to a new nation as south Africa. should i have placed a bet on them i will have been very disappointed. I said it the last time here that i don't expect India to loss to south Africa or any other team because i see India like the father and south Africa like the son. I am so shocked reading this that India lost to South Africa. Sop in my estimation i was very wrong and i have been proving that there is no country that is lesser in any sport discipline. south Africa, my respect to you guys.
