India were yet again in a familiar situation on an away tour; the South African bowlers had blown away the fragile top-order and at 58-5 the story looked more than just grim. The vistors were shot out for 100 and 66 in the first Test at Kingsmead, Durban, and a repeat looked well on cards. This until Azhar joined Sachin Tendulkar at the crease. Both the batsmen took on the bowlers and turned the firing the other way. While Azhar played at his carefree best, Sachin was more compact but no less grand.
