A South African commentator, who spoke to this correspondent during the tea interval, said that the hosts should rightfully be the No 1 Test team in the world and not India.

"They (SA) reckon they have the number of Sachin, Rahul and Dhoni. The only batsman they fear is Sehwag.u00a0 Also, there is a genuine feeling that we deserve to be No 1. Not many teams have done as well in India as we have over the last few years, and if we win this series, which I think we would, we should rightfully be the No 1 Test side," said the former SA Test cricketer, who did not wish to be named.
