Compton should have just stayed in his bunker and left cook to finish it off! shocker!

Compton out for a duck trying to get the 6 to win it in one ball

TBH South Africa lost control of this match when Stokes was smashing it about yesterday. All good and well picking 4 quicks, but bowling quick without accuracy is worthless. Had the selected a spinner, the change of tempo could've reigned in the batsmen.

Or bowled with a brain instead of panicking and spraying it about giving stokes balls to slap and root an easier ride. SA brew the series away and England are good enough as a side not to miss out

Compton wants to send those concaved sticks back to ss and get some more out of robertsbridge.

Haha like that !

Alex Hales really is a bit crap...England should consider Compton as opener and bring back ballance

[InternalTraining]

I wish Cook had stayed till the victory. Oh, well.

[ppccopener]

Cook wont be bothered,a series victory in SA with a game to spare.
Hope shane warne(hairpiece,make up and facelift) tweets his congratulations

Love you really Shane!

Real end of an era for South African cricket, finally being displaced at the top of the ICC Test rankings. Shows how dominant they where that only after 9 matches without a win that only then they succumb from the top spot.

I wouldn't disagree with that!
I do rate Hales in limited overs format but (as Buttler found out) going from short to Test format will take patience and doesn't always come off!
I would personally look at Cook/Compton to open which leaves Balance to come in at 3. Will be interested to see how long Hales is given before being replaced?

Should Cook reach 10,000 Test runs in the next match he'll become the youngest to get there. Beating some little chap from India by around 10 months. Mind you that Indian chap will have got there in considerably fewer innings.

It's simple, England are a side on the up and SA are a side on the down. South Africa are where England were 2 years ago, they've got potential to be a good side, Rabada looks a good player as does Bavuma. I think that on their day this England side could beat anyone, they have X Factor players in Stokes and Broad who turn games on their heads and (in my opinion) one of the best middle orders in world cricket, their pace attack looks in good shape with Finn back to his best, only slight issue is numbers 2 and 3 in the batting. Things are looking good for England going forward I think.

Best middle orders in world cricket? Calm down fella. Root aside the rest are flakey as hell.
