Second point... I think Doug would be better trying to slog Philander than defend....
When he hit a hundred here all those years back he just use to hit cleanly through the line like Mitchell Johnson does and slog sweep anything from the spinner. Batting with less conviction than Chris Martin at present.

Bracewell batting a wee bit too high.
