South Africa v India 2013: 5 Predictions for the Boxing Day Test

5. The record hangs by a thread

South African team

South Africa have not lost a Test series since February 2009. If they lose in Durban, that proud record will come to an end. Although defeat will not threaten South Africa’s status as the no.1 Test team in the world, there is no doubt that South Africa will be looking to win, and put a marker down ahead of the visit by the Aussies in February. As for India, they will be looking to prove that they are more than worthy as the no.2 Test team, and will go all out for a win. All in all, a cracker of a contest awaits us at Kingsmead.
