***Official*** England in South Africa 2015/16

First Class Debutant
Think Taylor could be our best player of spin, he uses his feet so well it looks easy for him.

Root has got a serious conversion problem. The last four times he's past 50 he's got out caught by slip or keeper in the 70s or 80s. It's just not good enough for a player of his class, it's so frustrating to watch him bat so well after being dropped by AB only for him to edge an innocuous delivery.

It's difficult to make a serious case that Root is better than Smith or Williamson if he keeps throwing away potential tons.

International Coach
They were already well behind before any of those things happened.
Not really. Had Root and Compton both been caught England would have been 50odd for 4 and only been 140ish ahead. Not really sure you could've said SA would have been ahead at that point, but the same is true of England. Not that it really matters.

These wickets may help England, better to be bowled out just after lunch giving us more time to win than wait an extra hour for a declaration wasting valuable time.

This is why anyone who mentions the d word before lunch on day 4 should be infracted.

Less than 350 is chaseable. Bat them the **** out of it
