Nice delivery, hard hands from Stokes but can't criticise him we have to give him that license. Going to be on the end of a hammering here. Don't think anyone thought our batting was good enough yet though.

Didn't need to be that good tbf. Bowlers are what won you this series, the batsmen mainly just had to put on enough scores to ask questions and SA did the rest themselves.

Yeah, on pitches which help bowling we are a match for any team in the world but when you need to consistently score big runs to win Tests we don't have a prayer with this current line up.

Rabada is superb though. Without question SAs 3rd seamer from now on.

Not sure how a ball that bounced that much wasn't edged for 4.

Rabada would be much better in Aust conditions. Morkel will just bowl back of a length because of the bounce, Rabada will get it up there and ask questions.

Yep. Smith and Warner will dine out on Morkel all day if he doesn't get it further up.

Go with Morkel and Steyn and usual, but take Philander on Aus flat decks over Rabada for two reasons

1. If anyone should get flogged its him
2. He deserves nothing less shivering in cowardice at Adelaide.

Well, okay, if you're picking the team on that basis...
