Morkel has sort of been good of late hasn't he? Bowled pretty well in India and did alright here too. Steyn will return when fit obviously but i'm less convinced with Vern. Very hard to drop a man with such a record but i honestly can't recall the last time he bowled a good spell

Well that's all the conversations about the follow on which they were never going to enforce anyway done.

Rabada will definitely be in the squad, he is now guaranteed 4th seamer above Abbott (as good as he has done)... the only question is will they play him above Morkel..... but with Philander back they may just drop Duminy and have QDK at 6 and Philander at 7
PS. I really don`t know why they picked Duminy over Rillee this game if he is not even going to bowl (he is behind Elgar now apparently!!).

I don't see him not being picked. Morkel/Philander will be slowly phased out now imo.

Wouldn't put too much blame on the batsmen this game. More on bowlers and fielding (and losing another toss) - 475 was way above par. Shame because SA are now knackered.

Beefy proving himself an idiot even when he's talking about his own career.

As daft as it is we could still be in this game. Nobody bar Rabada looks dangerous and he is knackered so will hardly bowl again today and if Broad and Moeen are able to bat for an hour or so we could get the lead below 100 and with the Saffers tendency to lollapse so often we may yet have a chance.
More realistic is Broad throwing it away and Jimmy getting a duck and the lead being well over 200 at the close of play but you never know.

Sums up his match really. Perhaps the selectors feel that his 26 runs make up for his hopelessness with the ball.
Rabada looks quite a prospect, doesn't he. Forgive me if it's already been discussed, but SA have a bit of a dilemma if Steyn and Philander are ever both fit again. Maybe Morkel will cash in on a very wearing 4th innings pitch in a dead rubber, but for me he'd be the one to miss out behind the other three plus Piedt.

Yeah that session showed if it wasn't for the mini collapse we could have got close. Especially with Abbot being crocked.
