Fall of Wickets for South African 2nd inning:
 1 :  68 (Cook)
 2 : 129 (Hudson)
 3 : 138 (Wessels)

============================ Conditions ===================================
Day 1 (Friday 13 November 1992):
  It was an overcast day with a 60% chance of rain in the afternoon. There
  was some sunshine during the day, but mostly it was warm and overcast
  helping the swing bowlers. The major concern was whether play will
  continue until 17:00 (which it did). There were no interruptions due
  to bad light or inclement weather. There was some grass on the wicket
  which was hard and has not been watered for three days. The outfield
  was expected to be slow due to good rainfall which had fallen the two
  previous nights.

Day 2 (Saturday 14 November 1992):
  Another day with full cloud cover with a 60% chance of thunder showers
  towards the afternoon. This time the weather man got it correct and bad
  light stopped play 55 minutes before the scheduled time. On the wicket
  one crack had begun to appear on one end (City End) and on the other end
  (Umgeni End) some patches had devolped which would help the left arm
  bowlers and trouble the left handed batsmen as one of these patches was
  directly in line with the left handers off stump. The outfield at the
  start of the day was slow due to some showers the night before.

Day 3 (Sunday 15 November 1992):
  In the morning there was some cloud cover and with a 60% chance of rain
  in the afternoon (This time the weather man got it wrong again). The
  cloud cover lifted (but not fully) and it ended being a hot day with the
  cloud returning in the late afternoon and stopping play prematurely 20
  minutes before close. With a thunderstorm the previous night the outfield
  was again slow but gradually became faster as the sun dried the outfield.
  On the wicket the crack became bigger and other cracks were beginning to
  appear at the City End and the patches at the Umgeni End had become
  larger and more menacing due to the fast bowlers follow through.

Day 4 (Monday 16 November 1992):
  With rain falling for the whole day, play was cancelled. The pitch had
  deteriated further, with the cracks widening from the wicket being
  exposed to the sun for full day. With the South African fast bowlers
  bowling for the entire third day the patches at the Umgeni End had
  worsened.

Day 5 (Tuesday 17 November 1992):
  A cold and cloudy day, with the pictch recovering slightly from not
  being played on for a full day. After continuous rain the day before
  the out field is slow. With the sun making a rare appearence the pitch
  becomes drier but not noticably faster.

============================ Substitutions ===============================
Day 1 : None
Day 2 : None
Day 3 : SA - 12th man H Cronje for Schultz who tore a hamstring in
             his right leg while bowling.
Day 4 : None
Day 5 : None

============================= Comments ====================================
Day 1 : India won the toss and sent South Africa in to bat, hoping to get
        an early breakthrough. This they did, due to some poor batting from
        poor batting from the South African's who threw their wickets away,
        against some fine bowling by the Indians. The highlight must be the
        century by South African skipper Keppler Wessels who was well
        supported by the "King of Kingsmead" Jonth Rhodes.
        Day 1 to India.

Day 2 : Some fine batting in the first session with Pringle being very
        severe on Srinath and taking 14 runs from his over; with the
        result that the South African look more respectful. Thereafter
        there was some fine bowling by the South African's as the Indian's
        alway's looked vulnerable againt the speedsters on the off side.
        This day also saw the historical debut of the third umpire and his
        electronic eye in the decision to give Sachin Tendulkar out.
        Aside: Whether this is good or not, I'm not sure due to the element
               of doubt which has always gone to the batsmen, with this
               innovation the batsmen loses the advantage.
        The day also some very fine fielding by the South African's
        especially Jonty Rhodes. The South African's were also able to
        generate a good deal of bounce. A disappointing feature of the
        South African pace attack was the number of extras they gave away.
        Day 2 to South Africa.

Day 3 : This day belonged entirely to the Indian batsmen who made the South
        African bowlers struggle. In addition to that, Kepler Wessels lost
        one of his strike bowlers, Brett Schultz (hamstring injury)
        resulting in the other three bowlers (Donald, Pringle and McMillan)
        having to bowl their hearts out. Frustration began to show, when
        after Amre had reached his hundred, McMillan after beating Amre
        comprehensively outside the off stump with two good rising
        deliveries mouthed "What the f**k is going on here" in full view of
        a television camera. When the Indian inning finally folded, with
        20 minutes to go the light was offered to the South African's
        before they had gone onto the field and they gladly accepted, not
        wanting to face a new ball, Kapil Dev and conditions which made
        swing very favourable. One of downfalls of the South African's was
        that they did not attack the stumps and did not always force the
        Indian batsmen to play the ball, especially after the 2nd new ball
        was taken, they continually elected to bowl short.
        Day 3 to India.

Day 4 : Play washed out due to rain and now the match looks destined to be
        a draw.

Day 5 : With a draw now a certainty, after Amre had made sure on day 3 that
        the Indians will not lose, the weather decided on day 4 to make
        sure that South Africa will not lose either. With that in mind the
        South African batsmen took to getting some useful batting practice
        against the Indian pace attack. Starting off wearily, Cook got
        going after the 4 th over and made sure that he will not be in the
        record books as follows:
          Name         Matches     Innings      Not Out     Runs
          Cook (SA)       1           2            0         0
        The Indian attack seemed to just go through the paces and were
        content on letting the South African batsmen see the day out.
        Day 4 Drawn.

======================== HISTORICAL EVENTS ================================
1. Jimmy Cook became the first played to be out on the first ball on the
   first day of the first test to be played between two countries.
2. Jimmy Cook was part of the longest running hat trick in test history.
   His was the third wicket to fall after Mike Proctor wrapped up the
   Australian innings with successive deliveries in the last test to be
   played at Kingsmead in 1969-70.
3. Kapil Dev became the first person to take a South African wicket in a
   test with his dismissal of Cook.
4. Kepler Wessels is the 13th player to represent two countries in the
   history of test cricket.
5. Kepler Wessels became the first player to score a hundred in test for
   two countries - four for Australia and one for South Africa.
6. Sachin Tendulkar became the first player in test history to be adjudged
   out by the third umpire (Karl Liebenberg) with the aid of television
   after umpire Cyril Mitchley was unsighted. All the above - from the time
   that the question was posed to the third umpire and up to the time
   Tendulkar got the GREEN light to walk - took place in 34 seconds.
7. Brett Schultz became the first South African to take an Indian wicket in
   a test with his dismissal of Adeja.
8. Pravin Amre became the 9th player in test history to score a maiden
   century on his debut.
9. The 8th wicket partnership between Amre and More of 101 is the best for
   a test match played at Kingsmead.
