This close to the World Cup, every loss India suffers now is akin to a hole discovered in a ship that is just about to bid adieu to the shore. Theres time for a patch-up, but probably not enough to totally seal it up for good.

How the Indian batsmen plan to tackle the moving ball is a question that will be posed again when they take on South African pace attack Dale Steyn and Co. in the second one-dayer - a day-nighter - at the imposing Wanderers Stadium today. It goes beyond just seeing off the new ball here.
