Graeme Smith fails to pick Anil Kumble’s flight and is caught by V.V.S. Laxman at short mid-on.
Chennai: The first day of the Chennai Test showcased South African efficiency, as the side managed 304 for the loss of four wickets, after opting to bat first. The South African batsmen are seldom obliged to entertain, and on Wednesday at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, whatever little entertainment existed was tapered down to the minimum.
Save for the imperious cover-drives, their batting was efficient and purposeful, but buried under layers of defence and unimaginative Indian bowling. The most India managed were four well-spaced wickets that saved the day.
