South Africa seems like a side that has no direction. du Plessis is clearly at the curtain call, more interested in blaming everything apart from himself. Happy to hype up the de Villiers return and yet calls out Bavuma when he himself is hapless with the bat. Throw in his mediocre Captaincy and he’s not got much going for himself. Philander obviously is retiring but he’s pretty much a hinderance as his bowling hasn’t shown much since the first test.

Bess bowled decently but leach is still the better bowler.

With the dodgy weather around it’s vital to get the follow on.

Leach is certainly a more proven bowler but Bess looks like he has made big strides recently. Will be interesting if both are selected for the SL tour.

This whole leach is a better bowler than Bess thing is interesting. I think Bess has a bigger talent than Leach and is a better batter and a gun fielder.
Leach will play in SL, but I think they will stick with Bess for the longer term.

Faf looks shot as skipper, I suspect he will stand down at the end of the series.

Bess is a few years time might be the best spinner but as this moment Leach is better. The batting and fielding is irrelevant. Pick the man who’s the best bowler.

But if Bess and Leach are in equivalent form, Bess' ability with the bat and in the field come into play in selection decisions.

England not the only side capable of being utterly brainless with their shot selection apparently, abysmal from SA.
