Smith sleets South African team spirit

South African captain Graeme Smith sleets the performance shown by his team in unfavorable conditions after they won the opening Test against top-ranked India on Tuesday.

Graeme Smith told media after his team's devastating victory over Test champs that it was a great team effort. He said that all the credit goes to the players as they have shown a brilliant performance and maturity in terms of professionalism and determination. This shows how much they are dedicated to play for South Africa.

South Africa's preparations for the tour were disrupted when team coach Mickey Arthur quit and the entire selection committee was sacked following the drawn test series against England at home. South Africa will wring back the top ranking if they win the series. The second and final Test starts in Kolkata on Sunday.
