Watching the last over yesterday...

....Quinton should have been out three times to Lyon, but he wasn't good enough to even make contact. And today he went cheaply when this was the moment to prove he could really come through under pressure. He has had a fine 2016 year and will probably do well against Sri Lanka......a great bat against medium pacers, but still a work in progress against pace and spin on a sympathetic wicket.

I thought you would go idiotic again.   De Kock did not had  6  bad innings in tests and then a good innings by accident like was usually the case with Graeme Smith for one.    He still has the highest average performance in all three tests in Australia. 
There is only one idiot who would come up with an item like the latest one you produced here.   Every commentator - whether South African or Australian - had high praise for De Kock - yet you are the one who said  he is not up to standard. and cannot take pressure.    
What a farce.  

Smith has nothing to do with this.....you proclaimed de Kock the finished product a week ago. Turns out he was lost when the ball started moving. There is no doubt he deserves his place, I would bat him higher at 5. But until he performs in the conditions that undid him yesterday he remains a shadow of Bok greats like Smith, Kallis and Amla.

 Smith has nothing to do with it - but the next sentence you call him a great - what a farce.   I was just saying that one dismissal is not the alpha and omega of cricketers - when there is a string - sure there is justification to see what is wrong.  However, you are just acting normally by going for De Kock - whom you have attacked in the past. 
Prejudice will get you nowhere and just confirms that you remain a prejudiced fool. 

It wasn't prejudice that had Quintie at sixes and sevens and then out for 5

 How many runs has De Kock scored this series - dumbo?

How many runs did he score when the going got tough yesterday...as you well know my concern was always about his ability to perform under pressure. Playing him at 5 would help, as would nice medium pace bowling.

You are sick in the mind as per normal with your one-incident situation as a norm.   De Kock made hundreds of runs this series - but he got out early in the latest test - so that suddenly becomes the norm.
You claim he is deficient against certain bowlers and that only because the bowlers got him out in one innings.    
That again is your standard system of attack on some players you are prejudiced against from the start.   Your history in that regard is absolute junk reasoning as per normal.  Just as an example - De Kock was much younger than Smith was when he first played for the Proteas.
He at present has a test average of over 50 runs after playing 12 tests - after playing 12 tests Kallis's average was 15. 
The difference between Smith and Kallis on the one hand and De Kock on the other hand is stark.   Smith and Kallis were in the main defensive and not really attacking players, making them weak in the shorter version of the game, while in both tests and the shorter versions De Kock is an attacking player.  
The chances of an attacking player to go out is higher than in the case of a slow defensive player.  There is no way De Kock is the finished product and he will be a really great player by the time he is 32.   His early career averages in both tests and the shorter versions of the game proved that.
