Team Spirit and Success

Congratulations to the South African team for convincingly winning their first test match against India by an inning and 25 runs at Centurion.
Going through history pages, one can understand the fact that there are very few matches in the history of test cricket which teams have won on the basis of out-standing individual performance. Unfortunately, this was not one of them.
In spite of a historic undefeated inning by Tendulkar, South Africa proved that only a combined team effort in all departments of the game could enable a team to win, especially in the longer version of the game - a test match, which provides a real test for a team to show its real all round talents and abilities, on and off the field.
