Munaf Patel running in with South Africa a hit away from extending their lead in the 5 match series to 2-0. The Indian spectators with heads in their hands wait for the obvious, dare to watch possibly the final delivery of the nailbiter. With Wayne Parnell in cruise control and on strike, the proteas were already in a celebratory mood swaying to the beats in the stands. Parnell cuts fiercely hard and low, and to the amazement of the Indian fans only manages to find a crouching Yuvraj snap up a sharp catch to bring India on level terms in the series. A moment that silenced the home fans and simultaneously caused deafening jubilation amongst the Indian spectators.
Many of us turned in early on Saturday night with India supposedly going through the motions as the proteas were in a commanding position; 71 runs from a win, 6 wickets in hand and required to score at a rate not worth a mention. A missed opportunity of witnessing one of India's most emphatic wins with the ball will be rued by many.
The series all squared early on, is now alive and kicking as we head to Capetown for hopefully another gruelling encounter between the world's top 2 ODI sides.
