Perhaps more than is ordinarily the case the spectre of defeat will be particularly unpalatable for SA and India as they go into the third and deciding Test that starts at Newlands on Tuesday.

Hard-earned reputations are at stake for both teams as defeat, and thus a series loss, may have serious implications in both camps. Uncomfortable questions are being asked of the SA brains trust, while India, particularly their batting line-up, in recent times anyway, have age and average the wrong side of 30 respectively.

They will need to operate near that against opposition that have won in England and Australia. India are unlikely to be off colour in back-to-back Tests.SA will in particular have to interrogate whether the balance of their team needs to be altered. Mulder is yet to replicate his domestic first-class form with the bat at Test level but he hasn't played enough to make a definitive judgment.

He will be playing in his 50th Test and apart from being fired up with the ball, he will be desperate to notch a half ton of another kind at Newlands.
