Well we got nothing like what we should have. Early wickets vital here so the Curran one a good start. That Hendricks has had a good series.

From the little I saw there were two dropped sitters?

Loved how clueless SA looked after Malan just kept walking across and peppered the legside.

Gotta feel for Livingstone, horrid debut series so far. What's he been picked on?

Smashed SA A and has been great in FC cricket. So they are doing that stupid thing of blooding him in white ball stuff.

Ye SA fielded really badly.

It's not the total we may have been hoping for when Malan & Hales were going well, but tbh unless one of them had actually stayed in right until the end, which was always going to be highly unlikely, with the batting line-up we had today, I don't think this is too far off any realistic expectations.

Also, Cricinfo seem to be granting Livingstone anonymity, for which he may well be grateful

Yeah, if you don't pick Root, Morgan, Roy and Stokes your batting line up is going to look pretty thin.

Good job they sent Morris in ahead of De Villiers.

Could be a mistake getting Smuts out, he was batting poorly.

Sort of agree, but my mind goes instantly back to Steve Smith in the IPL where everyone was having a go at him for going at a run a ball for a while or something, then he accelerated like crazy and won the game.

OTOH, he later repeated this, apart from the accelerating part and hence lost the game.

Superb from Crane. Mashed for two big sixes, still throws up a googly to get AB. Plenty to like about him.

Crane's figures don't look amazing but some seriously impressive bowling. Got AB holding his nerve and Behardien had no clue what so ever there. Refreshing to see spinner use flight + spin in a T20.

Behardien 3(8)

Even when he's good (like in the match-losing partnership with AB a couple of matches back), he isn't really good. Baffles me how he continues to get in the team.
