[4th Test] South Africa v England



I did predict a series win even after we lost the first test. :cool:



Isn't there a decent New Zealander from SA too?
You may be thinking of Colin de Grandhomme, but he's from Zimbabwe. The somewhat less stellar B.J.Watling is South African born.
 
Be a different story if South Africa are 320-5 With De cock at the crease come the end of day 4.
Hoping they are 250 all out but you never know, they have time to bat

Agreed, but the pitch is looking tricky, now. Root's scratchy innings suggested that.
 
Bit unprofessional that I thought. We're trying to build a test team but going back into ODI mode.
Agreed.

Seemed like the same sort of complacency that set in at the end of the last test. Can’t imagine the Australians giving them even the slightest sniff for example. We need to learn to be ruthless.
 
But the same would apply even if we'd batted a bit more professionally.
Think we are maybe a session light in terms of the game, would’ve only batted until lunch anyway.

Top 4 were always going to play orthodox cricket which they did, Stokes downwards were always going to play positively given game situation.

We are going to win a series in S Africa 3-1. (a poor saffers side granted) Think the lads deserve a pat on the back personally.
 
Think we been picky for picky sake with a few of these posts, suppose there is a argument for batting slowly, but these are out of the game and we will destroy them, their batting is horrendous and will get no where near it.

The game was over after our first innings.

They certainly do especially after the comments that it was a disastrous tour after the first test!!
