The inconvenient truth facing the Proteas in the remainder of their Test series against India is that they, in every sense, will be doing the chasing.
They relinquished what appeared to be a potential advantage in the third and deciding Test, by falling 13 runs short of India's modest first innings of 223 at Newlands on Wednesday. It hasn't just given the tourists the advantage on the scoreboard but Virat Kohli's team can go about their second innings in the knowledge SA are likely to find the going even harder when they come to the crease on a deteriorating wicket the second time round.
The SA attack will have to make inroads into a batting line-up of whom the three most senior players are desperate to roll back the clock and reclaim their lofty status in the game. “The two batting now have been a bit of a headache for us in the last couple of innings. But if we get a few wickets, that'll be brilliant,” said Petersen.
