Watch India President XI vs South Africa Live Streaming Online for free. They have won one series, lost one and drawn one, which is better than Australia's one win and two losses. On none of those three occasions did South Africa come in as favourites but in all of those series they stretched India to the extreme.
Their first press conference on arriving in India for this series - one that will decide who stays No. 1 for a considerable duration of 2010 - was no different. Ask Smith about India being vulnerable without Rahul Dravid, and he says there is still enough quality in the line-up. Ask him about his team's good record in India, and he reminds all that it was the box that wasn't ticked when they beat both Australia and England in away series in 2008.

While Smith didn't harp on India's weaknesses or their strengths or the hype around the No. 1 ranking, he was a confident man thanks to his side's record in the subcontinent of late. "We won in Pakistan on our last tour there, we won in Bangladesh, we came very close to winning the series here in India", he said. "We were one-love going into the last Test so I think generally we have played well. I think we have got a very positive mindset when it comes to playing in the subcontinent, which is important. The guys have been together for a period of time, we really enjoy coming to play in India.
