			SA are on a bit of a downer ATM and the 'unwritten' quota system of fielding at least 4 non whites means that players like Duminy who has been hopelessly out of form and even the captain Amla are getting picked because there are very few 'coloured' players who are good enough or fit right now.

			Only blemish was dropping the No: 1 ranked test batsman when he was on 9, he is one player who can score double hundreds.

			England tried really hard to mess it up today. For a while it looked as though a side that had scored over 600 was going to lose!  Amla has quit as SA capt., God knows why as SA seem to have the momentum going into the next test.
