But still considering South Africa was still the number 3 team in tests I thought there would be a good competition. Now the thing is if number 3 team is losing from number 1 so miserably is there any kind of competition left in cricket? On Indian pitches Indians are like monster they can eat up the whole world XI all alone I think.
The ranking is just bull shit, just look at the last T20 series in Pakistan, they were the no one T20 team and Srilanka was ranked number seven and they destroyed Pakistan in all the matches and white washed the series. South Africa is having trouble with their batting line up after the retirement of their star players and they were not able to replace any of the players.LOL... they were not able to replace the players, because all of them have migrated to other countries such as England, New Zealand, Australia. Some have even decided to represent the smaller nations such as Netherlands (Roelof van der Merwe, Wesley Barresi, Stephan Myburgh). Even those who stayed behind in South Africa, such as Dale Steyn have been given a raw deal by the team management.
The case with Pakistan is different. Despite the low salaries, the players are not migrating to the other countries. Well... a very few such as Fawad Ahmed and Imran Tahir have done that, but such cases are more of an exception rather than a norm. Pakistan still remains as one of the best teams in the T20 format and their player pool is producing a lot of promising players every year.

and on top of that Elgar is retired hurt. I haven't followed the weather updates but it seems like the match is gonna be over very very soon since their main and experienced batsman are all gone and they still are trailing with a 300+ run margin;.
