South Africa v India 2013: 1st Test - Day 2: Flops of the Day

After what was another truly brilliant day of spectacular cricket, India and South Africa will go back and do some retrospective analysis. Some players performed brilliantly, and some not quite as expected. Here are the 5 of the flop shows on Day 2.

1. Indian Lower Order Batting

Although they were faced with some quality bowling from Vernon Philander and Morne Morkel, India will feel agitated that they lost their last 5 wickets for just 16 runs. It was a string of indecisions from MS Dhoni, then Ajinkya Rahane, then Zaheer Khan that led to the collapse. With Dhoni and Rahane, there was no conviction with the defensive strokes that they got out to, and they will be kicking themselves for that, knowing that had they occupied the crease for longer, they could have got India to a potentially match-winning total.
