Postcards from Wanderers: Five days of uninterrupted fan fare

Up up and away! That’s how South Africa’s chances went up in the air to win the Test at the Wanderers on Sunday.

-'It was a very enjoyable Test match, and a fair finish'

A South African fan looks ecstatic but surely he must have returned with shoulders drooping after a drawn Test against India.

Never has a retirement of a sportsman across the globe generated as much following and interest as that of the master blaster Sachin Tendulkar! It speaks volumes of his popularity and some of the Indian fans just put their feelings on the placard.

The South African fans were not left far behind in expressing their sentiments for their former President Nelson Mandela who died at the age of 95.

But it wasn't a somber mood at all! With a dash of colour, the talented Hashim Amla fans did break into a jig and there was a party right there.

A few more fans added to the fervor and there were South African flag colours everywhere to egg their team for a victory. But it was hard to come by.
