verne lundquist

After Nandre Burger: In the 2005 Masters, when Tiger Woods pulled off that iconic chip-in on No 16 during the final round, the commentator Verne Lundquist commented with a now-famous line, "In your life have you seen anything like that?!"

That famed line from Lundquist can be applied on day one of frenetic cricketing action in the second Test between India and South Africa at Newlands on Wednesday. Under sunny sky and Table Mountain in the backdrop, fans became witness to things which weren’t seen before on a cricket field.

India had bundled out South Africa for just 55, as Mohammed Siraj bowled nine overs on the trot and blew the Proteas batters away with a fiery, career-best spell of 6-15. The score of 55 from South Africa is also the lowest total by any team against India in Test cricket.
