I agree on the neutral umpires point, makes zero sense to still have home umpires for international cricket.

BUT, there was only really one howler - the other things were either umpires call or simply weren’t reviewed by the fielding team when they could have. South Africa missed a caught behind themselves by not reviewing though so I fail to see any proper grounds on that claim. It definitely wasn’t in the same league as the Indian cheating last winter.

Regarding the sledging, it’ll be interesting to see what comes out, but I watched most of the match and there didn’t seem to be anything untoward coming across on stump mic.
