Much better so far. Let's hope we can turn it around and forget the 1st test ever happened ...

why the hell did he play boje in that over? Bring in the field and bowl steyn. Force them to have to play over the top. Yet plays a flippin spinner when we needed one wicket and they needed two runs..sigh..Prince has lots to learn.

hmm ..
steyn hadnt taken a wicket and the pitch is really flat? wats the point of bowling steyn.he has no accuracy, he wud have bowled on the legs, they would have got a scratch on it or leg byes and they would have got a run.. Maybe ntini or pollock but not steyn. But i dont think anything wrong with bowling boje at that stage, just the field placings were a little daft....

And what does prince need to learn? who cares? smith will be back soon any case, even other wise, jaque kallis will captain if smith isnt around..
 
no...when a team's under pressure, a fast bowler is the best option. If u don't have Murali on your team then under those circumstances, u don't play a spinner. Spinners are much easier to play off than a fast bowler when u under pressure.
 
debatable :D... but no ways in hell dteyn should have bowled..ntini or pollock maybe..
