ah but SA have been roundly thrashed in the previous tests trying to play T20 and took this match a lot further. They still lost granted but isn't it better to make it difficult for the oppo to beat you? that's what it's about isn't it...if you can't win, don't lose.........
SA have nothing to feel disheartened about. They played the entire series without Steyn. If Morkel & Abbott could take wickets on the indian tracks, i am sure Steyn would have contributed as well. What they missed was their bowling department not providing sufficient support to Morkel/Abbott - spinners in particular haven't been able to arrest the flow of runs when indian batsman started settling down. W/K choice could have been better as well. You do have Quinton de Kock and Riley Rossow as options but still they went for a different option. I am not familiar with SA local league. Is Quinton or Riley not a test player ? Are they reserved for ODI/T20 ?
