Donald said that, while India did compete aggressively in the series, their batsmen had ave ket the team down in both the Tests. He said,  “In India, there is hardly any movement off the seam and bounce. So, when the Indian batsmen come here and play in a pitch like Newlands, the South African pacemen find out their footwork with fuller length deliveries and the off and the fourth stumps.”

The third and final Test between India and South Africa will be played in Johannesburg starting on Wednesday, January 24.
