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

Will they get past 61? Or are they even worse than that other lot from the Southern Hemisphere?
I don't even think they've played all that badly. Amla and Vilas got done by James Taylor magic, Broad bowled an ATG spell of fast bowling, and you can't expect a number 8 to keep out a delivery that moves as much as Stokes' wicket.

Yeah, wasn't there an Indian that was picked almost as that in the 70s?

Jimmeh really being shown up by the rest of the bowlers, but TBH this series has proven there's life after him, something we were worrying about not that long ago.
In fairness he clearly is struggling for rhythm after the injury and only a couple of months ago he was brilliant in UAE. Still life in him but if we get the job done here maybe leave him out for the last test.

Even then he is keeping it tight somewhat, I'd take an off color Anderson rather than Chris Morris bowling his bag of **** every day of the week.

Broad is obviously working his way towards being a great of the game

Aside from MJ, has there ever been a bowler of his class that looks so bog ordinary one day and unplayable the next?

I know that he has become more consistent but the top bowlers on their worst day still don't look as ordinary as he is prone to be
Nah, that comparison does Broad a massive disservice. Broad doesn't get smashed when he's not on it.

What would be the point in Anderson being left out?
