Worst drop in history

[Swervy]

From what I've read (and seen) many "catches" went down in the leg-cordon; not surprising given the speed on and off the bat; things which convince me that certain writers were simply concoting chances when in fact it was not remotely realistic to claim they were such - something, funnily enough, there have always been writers who've done down the years, and equally there've always been those who've given a better impression. Something most people haven't actually looked at in detail, and find it hard to take that there is the odd person (me, for instance) who actually has.

i would take a guess that a man like david Frith would have done a hell of a lot of research into the subject

People have been saying it about England since West Indies (and erroneosly beforehand) - you have been no exception.

Yes, I said it when they did play well during the summer.

However please tell me where I have done this series.

About the only times they've played high quality were second innings of the 2nd Test, and 4th innings of the 4th.

And in both of those occasions SA weren't able to match them.

I'd have imagined so, too - unless, that is, I'd scoured as far and wide as I could and found little or nothing.

I wasn't simply referring to you.
I was referring to the many people who have said SA (missing at various times Nel, Boucher and Boje - the only three who just about everyone would agree strengthen the side by their presence) was just another part of this victorious crusade for the current England side.
When in fact they've simply played similarly and been offered a much sterner challenge by a much stronger side.
