This Nortje fella has been pretty impressive, prior to this series Steyn had been hyping him up. Saw him against India, aside from getting Kohli out looked wild. The pace has been incredible. Whenever he bowls he’s around 145kph.

So, overall, another embarrassing performance with the bat. Just when will the penny drop?

Buttler gone now. Test match lost.

Well we know that Root never scores runs when it matters. If we are being honest maybe used to be mentioned in the top 4 batters but at the moment not even in the worlds top 10.

Bairstow is just not good enough for test cricket and doesn’t when the mindset or technique to make it.

Butler bats to low at No7 with this tail and also really isn’t good enough for Test cricket.

Selection is just shot to pieces, no spinner, best keeper not selected time and time again. Miss managed potentially our best, quickest bowler since coming into the side.

Have to agree with a few on here that have been saying for a while, we are not a very good test match side at the moment

Why the F*** are England players shaking each other’s hands and patting on the back after that performance!

Seems strange that Nortje got peppered yet still try to preserve his wicket. Yet loudmouth Broad backs away and gives up

Cape Town is usually a seamer friendly track, Philander averages some like 17 there. But we need a spinner. I’d drop Anderson as he was non existent in this match.

England won one series all year and that was to Ireland.

Time to blame the illness around the camp for this loss

Now for the excuses! There isn't any

What went wrong:
Toss
111-5 to 284
181 so

After that it was actually a decent fight back I think, just left far too much to do!

Bug series now! Need to get a spinner in! For who? Have a feeling it will be Curran but should be one of the others!

Good things from this test:

Burns we have an opener
Denly we have a 3
Curran showing a nack of taking wickets

Bairstow has proven he's gone to shlt and needs to go back to headingley and score shed loads
