The enormity of this series win (and subsequent reclamation of the number 1 ranking) shouldn't paper over the fact that we have a serious issue at the top of the order as well as lack of quality test spinner. Despite his golden arm, JP is NOT our premier strike spinner and can't be relied on to grab four or five sticks a game (like Immy should be doing).

I think our next series is against the Windies at the end of the year (at home) and this might be an ideal time to blood new players in these key positions.

Not to worry, Alviro will score a ton and cement his place for the next year of failures...

Good Series Win South Africa!

Just my 2 cents

I think the Amla captaincy needs more recognition. Sri Lanka came in from a series win in England and had home advantage and lets be honest that ton Amla made in this test was certainly a captains match saving innings. We were lucky with the weather for sure and Tahir cramping like that towards the end was a sight to behold.
