And that's probably the difference between the teams. Sometimes it goes your way and other times it doesn't - Doesn't mean England's approach has been wrong, looks like a proper variable bounce pitch where you're never really in so can't blame players having a bit of a dip.

Well you can as they do it most games and it’s an approach that doesn’t come off very often

Has anyone in the history of sports commentary loved the sound of his own voice more than Mark Nicholas?

Seems to have fired up Nortje as well. Might not be too pretty if Archer has to face him

More misfortune for England, Markram out of the series with a broken hand. They'll probably find someone better to replace him...

Can't believe Nortje is still going, he looks a genuine rabbit. Pretty poor from England, now is when you need that spinner.

Good job there's a decent gap between games with the rate players are dropping ill! Call Ben Foakes up and put him in a separate hotel.

The second one wasn't a no ball though.. went through at just below waist height made to look worse by the way Nortje played it

I don't know if this is moronic management and captaincy, or moronic decision-making by the players, because it's difficult to watch.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but Root doesn't seem to be one to mix things up when it;s not going well (change bowlers in 2-3 over spells, bowl a part-timer, stop everything for an angry huddle and bollocking), we just seem to drift aimlessly, making the same mistake.

Also - does no English bowler use a yorker in 5 day cricket?

Norkie (or whatever he's called) is a very, very brave bugger, but I get more in line than he does!!!!


As an England fan, this is torture, like watching us throw the whole test away before my very eyes!
