SA really dominated in that match and deserved that victory. India will have to re-build now.

That news Suren is really great. I know how much work you have been putting in with your job and so you really deserve those tickets. All I can say is I hope I end up working as hard and as well as you when I get my first proper job. :hpraise

Well done

Match Presentation

( With Michael Holding )​

M.H : Hello and a warm welcome back to the stadium again for the presentation ceremony. Today we saw the dominating performance from host team. Both the openers of SA remained unbeaten in the end bringing their team, " The convincing victory". Lets go to the match presentation now.

M.H : Firstly, I like to call the Indian skipper, Rahul Dravid to share few words with us please.

Rahul Dravid, Indian Captain.

M.H :Dravid, tough luck today! Your overall thoughts on this match?

: Firstly, we didn't bat well earlier in the innings. We did have a steady start with Sourav and Sachin but in the middle, we did not keep the momentum going inspite of having a good batting wicket. They bowled well to restrict us to a low score. With such a low score on this batting conditions, it turned out more tough for the bowlers. Overall they played a better cricket in this match.

M.H : Where do you think that your team's batting went wrong? Is it because of the slow start from openers or any other reasons?

: Not because of the openers. They did a right job of getting us to a cautious start. If we had preserved our wickets, we could have put a challenging total on the board. Loosing regular wickets without keeping the scorecard moving at much faster rate led to this downfall.

M.H : So with remaining two games coming up, and already now with 0-1, what's your confidence level for the next game?

:
Well, today is just a first match. It's time for our boys to forget this match and get ready for next two games. It would be a great challenge to us and we are confident to take up this challenge and try our best.
M.H : Good Luck for the next game. Thanks for coming here and sharing few words with us.

: Thank you

M.H : Now I like to call the winning captain, Smith to have few words with us. But before that, I like to announce the Man Of the Match too.

M.H :When comes to bowling, South African bowlers did a very great job.. Nel is one among them. And from Indian side, Sachin Tendulkar provided the great entertainment early on. But one innings which outsmarted all the things and provided brilliant entertainment to spectators. It's none other than, the South African captain himself. The flying start which he gave made Indian bowlers to give up almost during this low target chase. So, Smith gets his Man of the Match trophy & would be sharing few words with us.

M.H : Smith, now you can collect your MOTM award and come here please to have few words.

G.Smith, SouthAfrican Skipper.

M.H : Congrats for Today's victory. It was a dominating performance from you as well as your team overall. Your thoughts on this?

: Thanks.. And yes, our players did very well throughout the day. Restricting India to the low total laid the victory platform. And under lights later, the ball did come to the bat very nicely. We just made sure that we did the basics rights and it turned out as the victory in the end. It's team effort is what I would say.


M.H : After winning the toss, you decided to bowl first? Do you think that the toss had played the crucial part?

: In the beginning, it did confuse me after seeing the pitch conditions. It did look to be a nice batting wicket. We had a dilemma whether to bat first or bowl first. With full risks, we went to bowl first and am glad that the things turned out well in the end.


M.H : When Tendulkar was going over the bowlers everywhere, what were your thoughts running in your mind? India to get around 300?

: Well, we did not think about any final target. We were just thinking to how to stop the free flow of runs and how to get regular breakthroughs. Tendulkar's breakthrough turned out as a crucial one for us in the end.


M.H : Well, good luck in remaining games as well and hope to see you scoring more for your team.

: Thank you.

G.Smith with Man Of the Match Award.

M.H : So that concludes our presentation ceremony. We would be back again to you for the next match between these two teams. With South Africa stepping up with a lead 1-0 in this 3 match tri-series, next game would be definitely a cracking contest. Stay Tuned for all the LIVE actions. Till then bye from the studio.
