5th Test vs England in Sydney

[laj]

I was really impressed how the poms stuck at it for almost 200 overs in that heat, showed ticker if nothing else.

Been following the saffies.... I'm very worried for our blokes....  Their batting is so good with de Kock at six that they played four pacemen plus a spinner.... Rabada et al are scary under any conditions.

Our fielding needs to improve 1000% as well.

Actually, outside a few batsmen their batting isn't that strong. I reckon ours overall is better. They had no idea against the moving ball last night and that was against India's pacemen. Admittedly the pitch was juiced up just for India but their batting put themselves in a position where they could lose the Test Match. Our very aggressive bowling would kill their batting line up on those pitches as well if they juiced it up like they did for this Test again India. We always go well in SA, no reason it won't happen again. SA's not that good. They lost in England 2-1.

Yes, our catching during the series wasn't good. Dropped some shockers. You could make an argument that Smith's dropped catches in Melbourne, when Cook was just 66, cost us a 5-0 result.
