      It's being good enough to take your chances when they arrive. Something England succeeded in doing at Durban.

      And something SA repeatedly fail to do. Atherton at Centurion in 1996, Croft and Fraser at Old Trafford in 1998, Atherton at wherever in England it was when Donald was firing in 1998, Onions at Centurion and again here, the list is getting longer.

      I wouldn't like to accuse SA cricketers of being chokers, but when you mix in their repeated absurd failures in cricket world cups, you have to wonder.

        Neat deflection for 2 there doggy but you digress. Eng are hardly deserving series winners based on the 3 tests so far. End of.

          Neither are SA if they can't take 20 wickets in a match. End of.

          I predicted a draw before the series (I even posted it here if anybody cares) and I think the Saffas might just nick the last test...

              It was great viewing at the end, but SA had ~140 overs to bowl Eng out and couldn't.
              From Lunch until the last half hour they were toothless and look out of ideas.

                Except Steyn. That joust with Collingwood after lunch was reminiscent of Donald v Atherton in 1998. Top stuff.

                Agreed about the rest though. Morkel wasn't at it in this innings, De Wet wasn't fully fit, and Harris isn't very good. And as for Kallis, his main weapon is boring batsmen out, which wasn't going to happen here.
