I think they would their batters a chance to come out and bat for a couple sessions with some freedom...it's the only facet of the game that hasn't gone right for them this tour and they might want a chance to show people criticizing the pitches something. Basically, no pressure on them so giving their attack some time off and making SA bat again even later in the match is fine for them.
All moot if AB is still around at the end.
Now where is MyBBOutkast for a frank opinion of this performance?
Is it 200 or 250? You got me wondering.
- I thought it was 250...these farkers have done my head done...

Na, let your batters bat with no pressure, essentially batting SA out of the game..............................as if they didn't do that already in the first innings![]()
There is a good reason why I wouldn't make a good captain. I would have enforced the follow-on. Opened with spin and put the shattered confidences of the Openers to the test.
Hi there fanie?Does he not only specialize in criticism pertaining to performances where SA is actually doing well?
Just let AB face 5 balls every over and the other Batsmen to face the last ball.

It's pointless blaming the pitch, or captain's demeanor (heck Bangladesh would've beat the Proteas too, which would've been worse than what India have done in this Series). Ever since Kirsten, Smith & Kallis retired there was only ever one solution to the Proteas' future stability; and failure to employ that solution is what has caused all the problems.
The only elephant in the room.What was the solution?
