Christie Posted March 5, 2014 Share Positives from this series:Vern improving as batsmen, he claimed the allrounder spotAB batting like a masterElgar opening well against the top bowling side in the world.Abbot bowling well NegativesTeam only waking up after we were 1 0 downFragile top orderAlviro not doing much with the bat.Amla, Faf and Duminy getting back a bit of form (mostly too late though, they will probably get lots of runs in the next series)Bowling attack looking harmless without Steyn, in test 1 he was off his best, and in test 3 he got hurt.Vern not getting wicketsMorkel being mostly useless, except for a few good spells.Poor fielding at times Ed-Zulu and 'Dale 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faf and AB aside, why was batting out more than a session left to Vern and co? I mean it was clear the instruction was to go for the draw. What the hell happened to Smith and the others?

GaryP Posted March 5, 2014 Share My take away from this series.... talk is cheap, saying you are the best side in the world and BEING the best side in the world are two totally different things. And so is being the best and staying the best.... WELL DONE AUSSIES, I really hope that you have woken our cricketers up out of any false beliefs and hopes!

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted March 6, 2014 Share Well, what a match! What a series! I love this game! Post match interviews, I sort of like this Smith guy a bit more now. And I love that Warner bloke! Clarke's interview was also good IMO.Straight talker, something of an Aussie trait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted March 6, 2014 Share maaan that was disappointing, but first series lost in 5 years is one hell of a good run. Only real take away for me is that even a 3 test series was not enough.The way we came back from centurion's carnage and the aussies came back from st george's reverse carnage means there was no way to pick a result for a fourth test with confidence. Got to say as much as Warner scored a lot of runs, the man of the match and series awards should really be going to bowlers who got 20 wickets on flat pitches. He also got dropped far too many times to not have a bit of asterisk against his runs. We definitely didn't click as a team, and probably our worst fielding performace in memory - maybe a dedicated fielding coach is required. Can maybe say that AB is the only guy who performed in every test for us. Major respect to him for stonewalling the bowlers yesterday, he had every opportunity to extend his world record run of consecutive 50's in test matches...but it was the last thing on his mind. oh well, at least we're still #1 australia will have to be as consistent as we've been if they want the mace (assuming the big three don't vote it out before that time).
