Root got his excuse in there early - blaming illness

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

Couldn’t agree more, I can only imagine what getting mashed in the face at 85mph does to you but that was many years ago now.

Yes bairstow isn't good enough but let's not forget he only played as pope was I'll!

Umm, why was he even there ? Why was he even in South Africa training ??? The answer is he was always going to be in the squad when he isn’t good enough to be . Hell, he’s got a red ball central contract when he shouldn’t have one

Stop defending these blokes who have proven over time they aren’t upto it with averages in the low- mid 30’s

Think I just heard him say “everyone of the lads stepped up as best they could and they didn’t let anyone down” really Joe, bloody ECB yes man, couldn’t be more wrong in that assessment

Bairstow has proven he's gone to shlt and needs to go back to headingley and score shed loads
At Bairstow’s age it seems unlikely that he will want to do that. There’s more probability that he ditches red ball cricket. And makes millions as a T20 globe-trotter

Why didn’t we play Crawley, young bat who proved his selection based on scoring top order runs in Div 1 last year . Look at how well Aus have done by picking youth and sticking with youths

I want all players to show fight, you all know I do but it’s not their job.

Burns out pulling .. why?!? Don’t five me crap about being positive etc.. two days to bat !! Don’t play anything you don’t have too!!!
Sibley, he fought tbf
Denly fought but still.. only play what you have too!
Root.. well.. constantly flashing and nibbling at the ball yet again! Why do people still call for him to move up the order or say he’s not got a weakness... again, leave the bloody ball alone !!
Stokes.. showed us a few times he can leave /defend.. why doesn’t he play that way consistently and keeps reverting back to wanting to dominate and play all ‘positive’.. an avg of 36 is it shows that this is what he is sadly
Bairstow.. laughable he’s even in the squad
Buttler .. feel for the lad. He deserves A batting spot still but is being left high
And dry . I don’t think he’s good enough for test cricket unless he’s at 7 behind a genuine test top six and able to come out and Gilchrist it
Curran .. laughable people think he’s some great batter in the making!! Hit a ball mirchant time and time again.
Archer. This lad can bat!! So we are told... yet to see it

I'm not defending him in the slightest! He shouldn't have been there, only making the point he only played as pope was Ill

I've made it very clear that I think foakes should be in the side!!!!

Silverwood sounds just like Moores in this interview. Excuse after excuse, work in progress etc. Giving Sibley credit for scoring 29. TWENTY NINE.

I’d probably have him in but Foakes isn’t half getting better by his absence. Top class keeper and a middling county batsman, but reading on here you’d think he was Bradman. If he’d scored a run all summer for Surrey he might well have got a call up.

Big saving grace will be SA’s quota system. With Markram out Malan is likely the obvious pick, but that leaves them short of the quota again. So likely Bavuma (who’s a bit poo) comes in and one of him or vdD opens. If fit Lungi maybe even comes in for Nortje too.

They won't catch us this time! Not this time! They haven't spotted us! No, they're all snoring in their bunks! Or, you know what? They're drinking at the bar, celebrating our sinking! Not yet, my friends. Not yet!

They've called up K Petersen (hit hundred against us in a warm up) to replace markram

Interesting, still think they’ll try and fiddle Bavuma in if fit.

Graeme Smith won’t care about the quota requirements. He wants to beat England. They’ll shoehorn some matches against Zimbabwe yo boost the numbers at a later date
