@Thekool1s South Africa is not in the best of form for a very long time and they are loosing a lot while touring,so it is not a very big surprise for me as England does have a very good team at home and with ABD in their squad they did miss a world class player who could change the match in any situation, not much interesting things about cricket in recent months.
I agree its been a while since they have won a test series, ABD was a big loss for them, South Africa are still a strong team on paper but they are not performing on the ground which matters the most, Likes of imran tahir are being rested. who could have turned the game towards RSA but "could been, have been" doesn't matter in cricket. You have got to play with what you have got and South Africa Played no where near to the potential they had.
SA played well today but the bowlers did not do a good job and gave away runs at almost 6 per over. Every bowler had an economy rate of 6-7 and only Dala and Pretorius could get wickets. The openers played really badly and they would have struggled in the end of the match had Iyer not made 140 runs and taken the game in his control.
No scoring 200 runs per innings is not good batting period. They should have batted like England. They were too defensive in my opinion. Its modern day cricket, You are expected to make 300 runs on the first day of the match, But South Africa has failed to reach that mark countless times in this series. Just poor batting, Can't blame the bowlers too much here. Also you have got to respect the way England Batted. They have handled the pressure way better than South Africa did. Anyway looking forward to CPL.
