Not sure I'd choose Hussey or Clarke. They both struggle against the new ball. Batting for your life they'd face it at some stage. Hussey has looked ordinary against pace bowling for a while now.

First David Saker, now Jason Gillespie are saying it equals our great attack of the nineties and nougties. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/cricket/test-matches/jason-gillespie-says-england-attack-861464 England’s bowling attack is just as good as Australia’s all-conquering side, says one...

He was the guy who took seven for on debut when Philander was injured.

Re: 1st ODI West Indies v Australia @ Kingstown (Saturday Morn AEDT) Seems hard to score on these pitches.

But he used to have Minki. He brought her out to Australia on his first tour. For some bizarre reason most of the SA cricketers have WAGs out of their league. Steyn is dating an actress who's been in British production, Boucher has a Wonderbra model, Kallis has an international model, Neil...

Steyn got up to 152 today.

Maybe the kiwis are limited by a small populaton and preference for rugby. With a small population base, it's not easy to keep producing champions.

With him and van Wyk they're becoming the new poms in rading saffer talent.:):):)

His batting average is 38.13, needs to improve.

Watson's a strokemaker but atm he's short of runs. Averaging below 40 is not great.

Yes but if he's as good as most think, his triple ton or any runs he could make at #3 would be more valuable for the team, especially considering how often we seemed to be losing 2 or 3 quick wickets.

In his one test as captain against England last year he struggled to stop runs leaking so it will be a test. Now he needs to go up to #3 which has been a problem since Punter dropped down the order. He struggled badly at #4 but if he really has improved as it has seemed this summer going...

Game is over - draw. Now that the test players have been over there longer they might improve for the next game which means NZ will find them more competitive. Steyn looked well down on form, their batting picked up in the second dig but they rely a lot on Philander. Maybe SA has more batting...

Solid partnership here, kiwis in with a shout.

Not sure about him building any pressure.

Philander is tough to get away.

McCullum and Taylor fall to Tahir and Morkel. Bowling has been accurate but the pitch is not too fiery.

Bracewell deserved to be dropped on form, he copped a few pastings.

Comfortable win for the Africans.

Anyone else think the NZ commentary team is biased?

There was some major choking going on there. Even de Lange did his bit when SA looked over the line.

Sadly for Punter he didn't see the writing on the wall.

Levi's been butchering domestic attacks and he now steps up on the overseas scene.

re. the part-time bowlers, Clarke does use them more but gets praised when it comes off but not the fact of their failure can get ignored. In Melbourne he let Tendulkar off the hook by bowling Hussey for quite a few overs just after he came in. The Hussey move hasn't really come off much. re...

The jury is still very much out on Clarke. There is nothing in the results yet that are better than Punter could have mustered regardless of whether or not we think he looks the better captain. He got pumped in his only test against England which is the real test. Beat SL 1-0 and this is a...

And Philander got Dilshan out early.

India recently have been very ordinary with the bat under any pressure. Shocking in England and troubled at times by the Windies.

Duminy has been making runs at SA domestic level. He has his problems against the short ball but strange how Prince always gets preferred as he's done less than JP and he can bowl and is a better fieldsmen. Think SA should go for four seamers in the last test. This pitch has been slow and...

England have ageing batsmen as well. South Africa is generally shite at Durban and after a crushing win. They seem to follow up the latter with terrible performances. In their favour is the unearthing of Philander and de Lange. Against them is the continued playing of the likes of...

I think one of the reasons that SA struggle to win home series apart from complacency is that the pitches are so green in general that if they get caught on the wrong side of the toss they can get rolled as well. But they should have beaten England after having two draws where they had them 9...
