Middle order was abysmal.... ABdV was good in the series though. But Faf and QDK were terrible. Which is very strange considering not to long ago we could get just about nothing from our top 4 with Faf, QDK and Bavuma getting us out of messes. Even Philander at 8.Disappointed with the effort except for amla and elgar for SA in this game.
Excellent series... deserved more Tests. I'm not even particularly looking forward to the LO stuff because it is going to drag on forever.Very good series.
Faf played two very good knocks in the first two tests imo. QdK was horrible though. Needs to get his confidence back, don't know what's happened.Middle order was abysmal....

Team balance is not right at the moment; Unless QDK gets into some serious form for the Aus matches.
How was Faf terrible and ab good? Faf made vital contributions in both games we won. Can't give ab a pass and slate faf. Especially when one expects more from your teams star player.Middle order was abysmal.... ABdV was good in the series though. But Faf and QDK were terrible.

They'll probably drop Rahane and Bhuvi again.Yes we have a good chance in England.
Sorry you are right been a bit harsh on Faf.... I did forget he got runs in the 2nd inn of the first test. Can't even be to harsh on Markram, he scored big in the 2nd match.How was Faf terrible and ab good? Faf made vital contributions in both games we won. Can't give ab a pass and slate faf.

Yup. Kohli motm and mots for me. Most runs by a distance in a bowlers series and faced the more difficult attack.So guys who's MOTS? Kohli a decent shout considering he was the best bat among both teams throughout the series. The bowlers all have roughly similar contributions.
