est Indies finally claimed ownership of an entire day's play and it came via a defiant double-century partnership between the two most patient batsmen in the line-up, Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Brendan Nash. The pair hit counter-attacking centuries to negate the aggression of the seamers and blunt out anything the slower bowlers dished out on what continued to be an unresponsive surface. West Indies breezed past the follow-on mark and redressed the balance after two days of toil in the field. What was impressive from West Indies' point of view was the willingness to stick it out for as long as possible. South Africa had them on a leash on a slow morning, but the hosts didn't allow the pressure of two hours of attritional cricket to get to their heads and try anything silly. In that sense, West Indies were lucky that Nash and Chanderpaul were around to guide them. They may not match each other stance for stance or stroke for stroke, but in terms of temperament, they're on par. Their understanding of each other's game was evident in the way they kept pushing the scoring with singles and twos. http://www.cricinfo.com/west-indies-v-south-africa-2010/content/current/story/464022.html
