Smith's Crew in SA

[ElwoodBlues1]

SA bat like snails on even the very best pitch, they take little or no stock of the ICC's desire for teams to play attractive test cricket!

Strange they bat slow as DeVilliers and DeKock are two of the best slayers of bowling going around....Elgar is a very slow batsman.
I remember when they came back into test cricket and they had such a strong lineup with players like S.Pollock at eight , Kluesner batting at nine who were real goers.....think they started this go slow stuff when Kallis was at his prime and while his figures in the game were great he was accused of being a very selfish player who looked after No 1 first and didnt worry about results.
