    Well, one did eventually. Can't really complain after dominating a Test like that

    No, it's a bit of fun for the punters, but it was starting to irk slightly, if I'm honest.

    Must admit, I'm still slightly bemused as to how we've managed to win our last two tests with quite such a makeshift bowling attack, but I shan't complain.

    Mind you, as things stand, I'm not sure I could tell you what our best team is with everyone fully fit.

    Sounds like there might be question marks about Archer's attitude. Not bowling in the nets with the intensity required (and also on the pitch, too).

    Not what I've heard. For my money, it's more an issue of him being overbowled by Root (still a fúcking appalling captain, by the way).

    tbf the Saffa batting line-up - Elgar apart - is as weak as I've seen it. Still took a great effort from Jimmy to get the ball rolling the first innnings of the second Test

    True - although Malan looks decent. De Kok - while absurdly talented - would drive me mental if he were English. Constantly giving his wicket away in increasingly stupid ways.

    At least he got the follow on right...was fearing him batting again and completely mistiming the declaration.

    Only because the decision was forced on him by the weather. But for that, he'd have pussied out.
