what a dismal performance by our batters.not one decent opening partnership by our opening batsman in the entire series thus far.we are always on the backfoot and need to find a good opening batsman to replace khun.

Weird series this. In all 3 tests so far the losing team have been outplayed. England won this match in the way that they batted in their first innings and then bowled exceptionally in SA first inning. Some players go an entire career without getting out "leaving the ball" resulting in LBW. Faf managed to do it twice in one match

Wicket looks like it could break up come the 4th day. Bad news for SA as they have to bat last on it

Yet another poor batting display. AB de Villiers should never be allowed to play for SA again as he has let the team down by not wanting to play. Its like Ronaldo of Real Madrid telling them that he only wants to play in the Champions League and not other matches

with him in the team they would improve by 50% and wont be struggling like they are. Its like taking Walter White out of BB. Not worth watching then

Not to take anything away from Englands series win (did it without really raising a sweat) but ffs have SA not any better players than are in the team atm. Only Rabada, Morkel, Maharaj and Bavuma did themselves justice. The rest were piss poor. Elgar got some two good scores and nothing else, Khun is lost, Amla has lost form, du Plessis out of form, De Kocks batting was awful but he needed to fill the gap left by Pick n Play de Villiers so you cant point fingers. Philander is too unfit, carrying far too much weight to be an international sportsman. De Bruyn is average so is Oliver. I give the team 3/10

1 for turning up
1 for winning a test
1 for not complaining about the shit weather.

1/2 a point for consistently losing the toss.

Been away for a few weeks but managed to keep in touch with the cricket.
Agree with all you comments.The bowling was good but the batting from some of the
alleged old guard was desperate.
This concerns me as the illustrious panel that have been exhaustively looking for a new coach
have managed to come up with Otis Gibson who is the England BOWLING Coach???????
