First of all we should always respect the opposition and play our BEST and not rest players thinking we can send in a 2nd side and beat a team. That is showing zero respect and they gave it to us for sure. Hope Kirsteen has learned by this mistake.
Quite a few things cost us here. First it was Morkel being so damn expensive while bowling. Then we SHOULD have played Steyn and Kallis here. AB by picking up the two match ban cost us as well, the youngsters just never done much. We could have won this had Smith not got out by taken a extra run that was not really on. That was daft as we were cruising then. Then AGAIN Faf messing it up with a run that was clearly not on. If those two had batted on from where they were I feel we could have pulled off a win here. Just when a series is in the balance why the heck not play your best? We needed to win this game to square it up for the last game to come. The mind boggles with selection.
Another thing we missed Amla and I know he was injured just shows what a huge player he is.
