Playing in south Africa is not as hard task as you think of it if batsman have techniques and skills. When you go there and stay for a while you get the idea about how pitch behave . They should have get some practice by now because its fourth inning they are going to play in there other than two one days and practice session before each match..
I think India should have not make flat dead pitches if they want their batsman and bowlers to perform better outside subcontinent. SA batsman will not have any trouble in playing on flat pitches eventhough their bowlers might struggle but well they perform good outside SA as well
If playing in South Africa is not a hard task then it is neither easy. Moreover, facing likes of Styne and Company on the 5th day on deteriorating Pitch is going to be an up-hill task. I wish Indian batsmen can ..................Every country makes pitches according to there teams strength. Fast bowling has never been our strength. Therefore, we always have pitches favoring Spinners or batsmen.
PS: Indian team is going through transition phase. Filling boats of Sachin, Dravid and Laxam is not going to be easy for anyone. We have good pool of cricketers and need to give them chance. We many loose at the moment but gradually it is going to be fruitful.
