South Africa have said they'll rotate Steyn and Morkel in this series to have a look at the other bowlers and give those two each a bit of a rest, but I think Steyn actually does have a niggle on top of that as well now. They might just keep playing Morkel if he does.
Yeah I don't see Kieswetter as a long term prospect at all anymore. Not when we have middle order keeper batsmen like Bairstow and Buttler coming through, and his keeping isn't considerably better than theirs.

I think SAF should really look for a better keeper. AB is not a good keeper and the test series and this game is proving it again. Maybe they should try de Kock or Kuhn.

We're going to have to seriously consider dropping Bresnan soon. His game just isn't there at the minute.

Yeah he's gotta go for Woakes immediately IMO. I'm a Bresnan fan but no-one is going to gain anything from his continued selection at the moment.

Well, I guess this shows what an incredible innings Amla played, no-one else has really looked in.

Bell is the only player who looks at ease against the Safrican bowlers. He looked in great touch in the last game as well.

I definitely think the pitch slowed up more as the game progressed; to me it looked pretty consistent in pace but was just taking turn throughout the first half of the game but the ball was holding up a lot more towards the end. You're right though; only Amla and Bell really looked particularly comfortable at any stage, and Bell fell to the first sign of spin.
