India Vs South Africa First (1st) test preview:

India Vs South Africa first (1st) test will start from 26th-30th of march 2008. The test match will be played in Chennai.

Test matches at Chennai normally mean a lot of rain and disturbances. But the cricket board seems to have worked well at the issue by arranging the tour in March-April, when the chances of rain are minimum.

Meanwhile, two of the indian back-bone players Harbhajan Singh and Mahendra Singh Dhoni have been declared fit for the first test match, giving a boost to the Indian players.

The pitch at Chennai is expected to be a spinner’s paradise and spinners are expected to play key role in the test match.

South Afrian spinner, Paul Harris, is very excited playing in India and is looking forward to the contest on 26th. He said:

“I’m looking forward to bowling to all of the Indian top order. I’ve been waiting my whole career to play a series in India - probably the best place for a spinner to come and test his skills”

Jaque Kallis wants both spinners and seamers to play their role and thinks that is the only way to win the series. He considers that their strength lies with the bowling attack.

You make sure you visit us on 20th march for live scores India vs South Africa First (test) from Chennai.
