Interesting battle b/w ABD & MSD ahead of 1st ODI during press conference !!!! ABD : Conditions are being prepared to allow South Africa to show off their strongest suit - fast bowling - with what de Villiers called a lot of grass on the pitch the day before the match. That strategy has backfired on South Africa in the past, with the opposition quicks enjoying the surfaces as well, but de Villiers does not think it will happen this time because of the lack of strength in Indias pack. They are certainly not the best bowling attack in the world, he said. Its an area where we feel we can get on top of them. MSDs reply : Yes we havent done well, he said, But there were instances, even the last time we came here, we had a good opportunity to win the series but we didnt cash in on that. So it is important we play well. Only thing is, in a three-match series it becomes a little difficult if a team lags behind and loses the first game. There is extra pressure on the team that has lost the first game. Whats important is how much you exploit the conditions. Its not about having the best bowling attack, Dhoni said, when told that de Villiers had said Indias was not the best by a stretch.
