Yup. Massive under-achievers with the expectation. Can add Rudolph.

I know modern teams are sensitive, but I reckon the batting group deserve a good telling off from the bowlers ..
The West Indies was the same story. Had Piedt and Burger not put on a decent partnership in one of the Test matches we would have not won the series. Bowlers are constantly asked to both win and save the Test matches home and away , it's ridiculous

I would say it's our day in theory , but we are batting last and anything under 100 for a lead, the Bangladeshis will believe they can skittle us for 150 in the 4th innings

Funny that you say that the last man jack has achieved Jack.

Yeah it is critical that both Mulder and Verreynne take their own time and bat long, ideally both hitting centuries. You can then look for an innings win without worrying about the fourth innings.

He did it in the fewest balls apparently

Interesting XI to pick actually.
Bowling. Maybe can consider Meyrick Pringle, Hayward, Ngam & Schultz too.
Batting HD Ackerman and Boeta Dippenaar

Ngidi may be qualifies too?

Guess you could. When you think back to that debut series against India hitting 140kph regularly and jagging it off the seam sharply.
Aritro
International Regular
Based on what I heard at the time from South Africans I knew IRL and online, he was actually the greatest bowler who has ever lived.

Bit harsh with these two : Ngam & Schultz .
Ngam had serious health issues and basically Schultz shoulder fell off

Wish there was a designated video on his series against New Zealand. 150kph swinging it both aways. Awesome.

He had the potential to be as good as Donald, showed it all. Unfortunately his body gave out on him. He was one of the most natural looking fast bowlers I have ever watched.

Taijul Islam definitely has one of the biggest discrepancies between home and away of any bowler with 200+ wickets. Over 20 fewer runs paid for each of his home scalps, and over 80% of the overall total.
I don't intend this as criticism, just a notable feature. It's pretty much the same record as Abdul Qadir, who I think takes the record with a home average 20.76 runs better than his away one.
I think that's the biggest gap - though I haven't checked them all.
