Finally got time to write how I've felt about the game so far. First innings was shocking. Sometimes South Africans play the stupidest shots, playing outside off etc. Our bowling wasn't great to start but we managed to pull it back nicely. Maharaj (I called it

) couldn't find his length but he pulled it back and I think he'll become our main spinner (I'm open for the selection panel if you want CSA). Cook hasn't done well but people must remember this is his first time outside SA and after playing 30+ years of cricket in SA it'll take time to adjust, looked good in the second innings but needs to rotate the strike a bit more. Elgar is IMO one of the best openers in the world (Probably behind Warner and Cook) he scores big hundreds when we need it. Amla will come good and we'll have another 100+ runs a match. I'm happy for Duminy and I do like him (his shot to bring up his 50 was amazing) but if i'm honest anyone can score a hundred if you give them 2 years to do so, same goes with Faf (but we need his leadership), I'd still rather have Rossouw but I'm happy for Duminy. Faf is improving and should be made full time captain. Bavuma is solid but I think there are better options (although he's the best in terms of colour which we need). De Kock I'm still not happy with. I'll only feel he's ready when he can dig in and bat out long innings (these crappy 80s aren't good enough for him). Philander wrapped up the tail so he'll stay in the time for 6 years (Morkel should have his spot) but he isn't a bad option and can bat. Steyn's injury is terrible but we have players who can get called up and do well (Morkel, Viljoen who would be quality in Aus, De Lange, Paterson and Duanne Olivier who I'm very impressed with). Maharaj is my second prediction to be correct (if SA call up Dane it'll be 3) and he's exactly what we need as a spinner.
All in all besides the first day we've been solid. Once Amla and Cook get back in form I reckon we'll be pumping the Aussies who bat till 4. Mitchell Marsh is in the team how?
