    84-4 chasing 400 is a bit like losing the first leg 5-1 to Bayern. He probably just wants it over with.

    Just read Swann worrying that Jennings and Balance were in such poor nick. I thought both were picked primarily on form??

    Ballance needs to go.

    That said, Cook's dismissal was ridiculous.

    THey had a chance today to show that they can build a test innings. They seem to have accepted defeat instead.

    Pretty poor. I would have loved a bat in this situation. Like a dream come true

    That is the worrying thing. They clearly went in today with no belief that they could stick around and at least make South Africa work for the win. They just didn't know whether they wanted a shīt or a haircut, played stupid, inappropriate shots and gave their wickets away.

    Where is the pride, even if it is personal and selfish? At least play for your average.

    You would think they would see it as a great chance to prove all the criticism wrong. Instead they have proved it is 100% correct.
    Where is the opener who batted with a broken hand in India? Give him a go.

    They do give every impression of being a side who, if anything doesn't go their way, will simply give up because it's too hard. Too many players in that side who expect to be able to leave the hard yards to others (Cook, Root, Ali). And if those others don't come off, they seem to think that's a good excuse to give up.

    Sir Geoffrey is FEWMIN!
