Dernbach massively over does the slower ball, but it's spread to the rest of the team. Most of the balls that got smacked for 4 were slower balls. The slower ball should be a surprise not the norm.

Shambles from Kieswetter.........if we lose he has cost us this game

Agreed about Dernbach........get him off
Disagree about Kieswetter. Yes he made a mistake kicking the stumps, but these bowlers probably couldn't defend 400!

The bowlers could defend 300 if the keeper was up to the job

Strange decision, can understand Dernbach being dropped because he's been shite but Swann?

Apparently he's rested. I guess now the series is lost they want a look at Borthwick.

I suppose it's a dead rubber and they want to see Patel & Borthwick in tandem.

Just the 4 South Africans in the team...

Hey, they've made changes so *that's* progress.  :D

Just to think that this time last year our alternatives would have been the likes of Yardy & Wright!
