NEW DELHI: With 23 wickets falling on a rollercoaster opening day of the second Test between South Africa and India in Cape Town, the pitch at the Newlands became a huge talking point on Wednesday.
After South Africa skittled to their lowest score since being readmitted to Test cricket in 1991, India middle and lower order imploded -- six wickets fell for 0 runs in 11 balls -- as pacers had a gala time on a surface that offered seam movement and variable bounce.
