Oh well, it didn't last long today. SA won by a huge margin in the end but I can't help England once again contributed to thier own downfall.

For me, going off for bad light when England were batting well and SA were in disarray was a key point. Our sloppy bowling on the 4th day (which was described by Ian Smith, one of the C 4 commentaters, as "garbage") was another.

I suppose one could also wonder about England not finishing SA off when they were 7 down but for me, that more highlights the way SA will fight when the chips are down - a quality England rarely seem to possess.

As I said before in this thread, I don't believe the difference between the 2 sides is vast. I still believe that in terms of talent. It just needs England to play to what they are capable of.
