Cricket: Run fest in India-South Africa series

Fans of high-scoring ODIs were treated to some pulsating action in the recent series between India and South Africa.

The Indians won the series 2-1, sealing it by winning the first two games. In the second match, India won handsomely on the back of Sachin Tendulkar's record-breaking double hundred. His 200 not out came off a mere 147 deliveries.

But South Africa hit back for a consolation win thanks to centuries from Jacques Kallis and AB de Villiers, with the latter needing just 59 balls for his unbeaten 102.

For once, supporters will have been saddened that it was not a seven-game series.
