After some good initial success with the ball, including fabulous cleaned bowled deliveries from Rabada.....the Proteas drop a catch and release the pressure. So the West Indies set a challenging target, but how does one explain the awful batting display.
Quintie has always been vulnerable to real pace and I was not surprised to see him go quickly. Faf got a good one and botched it.
But Amla and de Villers capitulated. AB after a few dot balls waved at a ball with his feet nowhere near the line. Amla suddenly started walking across his stumps and predictably was lbw.
After that it was just a matter of time...Duminy went quickly....Behardien and McLaren tried unlike the other chaps, but looked likely to go at any time.
This team is just not as good as the Smith, Kallas, Steyn led team. And while that team was often accused of bottling out....this team is unwilling to persevere when things get difficult. Apart from Rabada at full pace, they were not worth watching today.
