       Except for 1 runout, all the S African wickets went to spinners
       Joshi finishing with the unbelievable analysis of 10-6-6-5
       Chopra finished with 10-0-26-3 and Bhardwaj got his first
        international wicket with 10-3-16-1
       Derek Crookes taking both wickets for RSA but they came too late, a
        first wicket partnership of 72 in just 10 overs
       Trevor Quirk talks about a wonderful display of spin against "one
        of the most consistently great sides in One Day internationals"
       Hansie Cronje, the losing captain comes up
       We had a 3 month break, didnt play well
       Under these conditions India is a good side
       Quirk and Cronje make the usual excuse about being back from a 3
        month break
       We dont want to take anything away from Joshi and Jadeja's
        captaincy
       They were without four of their stars, the conditions suited them
       Ajay Jadeja, the winning captain comes up and gets the 2000 US$
        cheque
       Incredible performance, one of the best days of cricket from India
        I've seen, no wides and no balls
       Joshi bowled fantastically, a captain couldnt have asked for more
       We've been working on the fielding for the last 2 weeks or so,
        hopefully it gives quick results
       There's no better way than to start off with a win
       The most predictable Man of the Match Award ever comes up
       5 commentators from TWI award it to the obvious choice, Sunil
        Bandacharya Joshi
       I'm very thrilled, I was just hoping to turn the ball
       The wicket was a 2 paced wicket, I just mixed up the deliveries
       This performance is the best ever bowling performance against RSA
        in ODIs
