is South Africa bowling badly or are the windies batting fast?

Sorry but not sure I agree with your verdict on Harris... here are his stats:

M R HS BAv 100 50 W BB BowlAv 5w Ct St
9 86 46 7.16 0 0 29 5/73 23.86 1 5 0

And his bowling in the last test match:
O M R W Econ
30 9 69 1 2.30
15 5 35 4 2.23

How can you drop him now? And we do need variation. You saw this when Chris Gayle was climbing into our quicks!

Look his stats are not bad but it's early days yet. If I had to choose between Ntini, Pollock or Harris which is essentially what we talking about here then I would let Harris go without doubt!! Ntini has proven his worth and he is bound to come good soon as is the case with Pollock and Pollock can bat. Harris is really weak in the field and has already put down a catch and leaked a few runs too which for me nullifies to an extent his effectiveness as a spin bowler.
 
Yeah Steyn's really exciting to watch. We under pressure to win this test yes, lose this one and we might loose our coach and captain..

Really poor outfield at Newlands. Didn't they have the same problem at the previous test there?? This really isn't good enough for an international venue to have such a poor outfield.

Good job by the boys today.
