It's cost us before.Pretty standard in situations like this to try and get down-on-their-luck bowlers some confidence going into the next Test with a couple of cheapies.

That's gonna be the key point, can't have no passengers now and we need to win at least one of these tests.Well played SA. Comprehensive victory.
Ironic that the last wicket was about the first one on a day 5 pitch that you can blame on the pitch. England can have no complaints about this defeat, have to bounce back like never before and make tough choices about the players carrying injuries.
Dropped a catch, didn't he?How would Jacques Rudolph be feeling? The **** played 5 days and didn't do anything. Didn't bat. Didn't bowl. Didn't take a catch. Just fielded a few balls. May as well have sent out a pot plant instead.

where's his head
Ummm 2005That's a paddlin'.
Fair play to SA, have absolutely shellacked us. Hats off.
When was the last time we came back from a 1-0 deficit to win in a home series? Only time away I can recall is SL in 00/01.
We recovered from 1-0 v the Windies in 2000, but that was a 5 test series.
Don't think they would if it was just down to performance but a few bowlers are carrying injuries and don't look fit.I think no need to panic too much for England; still lot of cricket to be played in this series. It would be really harsh if they start changing and chopping too much just based on this test
Petersen took a catch #thedifferenceProbably feeling a bit better than Alviro tbf.
Tahir bowled well I thought, deserved the figures he got.where's his head
But yeah, I used the wrong word. but this is the first time since he started it's come to day 5 and he's been expected to deliver, isn't it? Promising for SA that he did the job
Ahh fair enough; I see. Small T test.where's his head

Beat me too it.Ummm 2005
Yeah, sorry, meant in a three test series.Ummm 2005
That wasn't a spinner's deck at all thoughAhh fair enough; I see. Small T test.
What about this game?
2nd Test: South Africa v Australia at Johannesburg, Nov 17-21, 2011 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo
Yeah, indeed. Bowled pies on Day 5 though and they lost by two wickets; one could definitely argue that was his first test as such.That wasn't a spinner's deck at all though
