Hope the comparison ends here!
Story:
South Africa would be reasonably happy with their performance in the third game at Ahmedabad, but the series loss would be an obvious bitter pill to swallow for the team and the management.
The one area that both sides will need to work on, however, is their bowling department. Of course, the pitches in the ODIs were suited to the willow-wielders. However, shorn of penetration right throughout both, the Test and the ODI series — barring a spell or two — the two teams have a task on their hand for the future to begin serious work on the skill factor.
MS Dhoni’s calm demeanour has been the one striking features
right throughout the tour and his captaincy reminds me a lot of Hansie Cronje.
On a very rare occasion or two have I found Dhoni with a frown on his face, and I quite like what I see. From the distance, it also looks like he has been doing most things right and goes about his business in a no-nonsense manner, apart from the fact that he commands the respect of all his players.
