Actually, I was hopeful because it was SA at the opposite side.
With teams like Australia, I hardly remember winning such a close match. We have lost several matches by one run or one wicket or at the last ball.

Yep, India was close to clinching defeat from the jaws of victory but proteas helped us by choking. If it was anyother opposition, it would have been really embarrasing loss for India. Infact, Proteas seem to have choked in the last test as well when they were close to number one spot. If they had won that match, they would have become number 1.

Star opener Virender Sehwag develops sore back
STAFF WRITER 9:52 HRS IST
Jaipur, Feb 22 (PTI) Star opener Virender Sehwag has developed a sore back even though it is unlikely to affect his participation in the second cricket one-dayer against South Africa in Gwalior on Wednesday.
"Sehwag has a sore back and he underwent a scan yesterday. But it doesn't look serious enough to render him unavailable for the Gwalior match," a team official said.
Sehwag batted in last night's humdinger against South Africa which India clinched by a wafer-thin one-run margin in the final delivery.
Sehwag scored a brisk 46 before he got out and he could not fill in the part-timer's role during South Africa's chase because of the sore back.
Sehwag left the field during South Africa's innings and was replaced by Mumbai all-rounder Abhishek Nayyar.

India look to seal series, No.2 spot in ICC Rankings
STAFF WRITER 12:19 HRS IST

Gwalior, Feb 23 (PTI) After escaping with a narrow win in Jaipur, India would aim to plug their bowling loopholes and seal the three-match series to retain the number two spot in ICC rankings when they take on South Africa in the second ODI here tomorrow.
The Indian batsmen are in good nick but the worrying factor for the hosts is the bowling department as they leaked too many runs in the series opener and received an unexpected bashing at the hands of tail-enders Dale Steyn and Wayne Parnell in Jaipur.
What looked like a one-sided contest in India's favour at one stage became an edge-of-the-seat thriller as the host bowlers let go their grip over the match with their wayward line. India, though, managed to pull it off by just a run, the closest of victory margins.

Tendulkar shines in India run-fest
(UKPA) – 53 minutes ago
A record-breaking double century from Sachin Tendulkar left South Africa facing a daunting run-chase in the second one-day international against India in Gwalior.
Tendulkar cracked an unbeaten 200, the highest individual ODI score ever by a batsman, and was involved in solid partnerships with Dinesh Karthik (79), Yusuf Pathan (36) and Mahendra Singh Dhoni (67 not out) as India put South Africa's attack to the sword.
The home side finished with a massive 401 for three, leaving the visitors with a sizeable task in a match they must win to square the series.
Dhoni won the toss, but South Africa struck early when Wayne Parnell sent Virender Sehwag back for nine, caught at third man.
Tendulkar began his innings with boundaries on either side of the wicket off Parnell and thereafter hammered the bowlers around the park with a dazzling array of cuts, pulls and drives. He reached his 50 off only 37 balls with his ninth boundary and struck five more en route to his 46th ODI century, which he raised off a mere 90 deliveries.
Karthik, who also began his innings with a couple of boundaries, played the supporting role nicely, eventually reaching only his fourth ODI half-century. The two put South Africa's attack to the sword until Parnell struck again, luring Karthik into a pull which the batsman mistimed and presented Herschelle Gibbs at mid-wicket with a straight-forward catch.
Pathan then joined Tendulkar and the two raised 81 for the third wicket off only 47 deliveries, the newcomer adding to the run-fest with four boundaries and two sixes before his stay was ended by left-arm spinner Roelof van de Merwe.
Tendulkar raised the highest individual score in one-day cricket, going past the previous mark of 194 jointly held by Pakistan's Saeed Anwar and Zimbabwe's Charles Coventry, by hitting Parnell for a couple of runs.
He reached the mark off only 140 deliveries, hitting 25 boundaries and three sixes along the way, before reaching his double century with a single off Charl Langeveldt in the final over.
Dhoni, dealing in boundaries and sixes, reached his half-century in only 29 deliveries as India finished with a flourish.

OMG another prediction is coming true.
Shyt didn't realize I am clairvoyant.
I am getting the feeling that they won't come for IPL after this beating.
