Hesson, take a nod from Coach Taylor from Friday Night Lights - get the team off the park.

Declare, do something. Oh the humanity.

ffs really guys? i could understand if Steyn was ripping through us but Philander, sure he lands the ball in good areas with a little bit of movement but that is no reason for this collapse.

Williamson looking good though
Disagree - Philander's been outstanding and this is a great pitch for him - probably even moreso than for Steyn. Significantly better lineups than ours would be struggling here.

Wow, what a ball!

Elevate a tailender to try and hit Philander out of the attack or just declare and get our own bowlers out there.

Tbh, with the exception of McCullum's awful sliding-door forward defensive, there's not a whole lot that our batsmen could've done different. Philander has been a beast.

McCullum hadn't earned the right to to make an aggressive decision like batting first on this pitch.

Would losing both tests by an innings and 100 + runs cost Hesson his role, or did he earn the right to get a free run for 10 years now regardless?
