One in Cape Town Steyn, Tendulkar star on intense day and the other in Sydney England hold the edge despite Johnson's efforts. Normally I watch cricket matches in bits and read the reports the next day. But these days, I have been watching the Sydney match from 10 AM to 6 PM and then the Cape Town match from 7PM to 2 or 3 AM. Both fascinating and highlighting the intricacies of test cricket for non-experts like me. I still do know how Tendulakar missed and edged so many balls and survived. It is not the Tendulkar of 'Desert Storm' but a more mature Tendulkar knowing his limtations and playing with courage and equanimity. Perhaps he was defending his off stump until the very end and letting many difficult balls to go and if there were edges they were mostly soft edges.
P.S. Both fizzled out. In terms of preparation, plans and execution English team seems to be the best at the moment.
