Or maybe it's time to put the "Best batting lineup in the world" myth to bed once and for all?
I don't think any knowledgeable or respectable cricket fan has them as the "best batting line-up in the world' currently to be fair. Clearly both SA & England have better batting line-ups for a start.

SA?

You're having a laugh, right?

Australia bowling to a plan. Do you want him poking at deliveries wide of the off stump?
Nah!! But he sometimes has a tendency to go into a shell after a pretty good looking start.

Needs to keep batting as he was before the wickets fell.

Not a chance mate

Well unless you are counting Strauss, Trott, KP and Prior, lol.

No one thinks the Indian lineup is the best in the world except idiot commentators looking at names on paper....most everyone, on this forum at least (and anyone who isn't totally lazy and follows cricket outside their home countries), put England and SA above India.

and in the last match in the 4th innings he slowed a bit and then saw dhoni slog and idk what they talked about or what he thought in his head but he immediately went for an attacking shot and got out while looking good. now same scenario, wickets tumbling and instead he's decided to be conservative atleast till lunch. Im totally fine with it.

SA has some talented batsman in the wings though. They badly need to shed some of the fat in their order. Rudolph, Smith, Prince and Boucher should all **** off and never come back. Bring in Virus, Elgar, RR and some other young gun. Give AB the gloves.

Talk to me when they don't make 160 vs the second worst bowling attack in the world.
Let's judge a team on just one performance eh? NZ beat the West Indies in 1980 (in the series, let alone a test match), it didn't suddenly make the Windies batting line-up of the early 80s rubbish

SA's horribly inconsistent. India are consistent. At home they're unbeatable and outside the sub continent they're as soft as sludge (ah India, it's like you never left us). Difficult to really make a definitive call tbh.

sa in theory could be but they just fall to pieces too often
Yeah 3-5 is class, as good as any other (assuming Bell does not keep averaging 120 forever) really want Duminy to come back and actually be good, seems highly unlikely though.
