Anderson needs perfect conditions to have an impact. Been poor this series not forgetting he always gets the ball, best of conditions etc. If he's not fit and didn't look close in the 2nd test, play fit guys who you have in the party.
Love him as a bowler but past his best to be playing in any conditions. Not forgetting that despite 400 wickets, even his best isn't the best in world. Has a high 20s average, when best have low 20s average.

Even when he isn't taking wickets, he is still by far our most economical bowler and could have had 2 wickets this morning anyway if Bairstow hadn't dropped that chance.
Still more than justifies his place in the team.

Was one of the better bowlers in the UAE, bowled tight and took wickets in completely foreign conditions. Looked slightly below par on a super flat one in Cape Town but had 2 drops and then same again here.
The start of his career was average hence a very high average, reckon in the last 5 years his average would be more towards 25. Never going to get dropped and shouldn't be IMO

SAF batting card is odd. Every single player got "in". No player made 50.

in statistical terms it was the least variable test batting card ever in terms of scores

Inevitable he gets 5 in the second innings now anyway.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Perfect test match wicket.
Can't help but feel England have been just a foot short and are guilty of the ball almost doing too much.
Have a feeling Finn may be very very dangerous.
And wouldn't mind Ali having an over or 2 earlyish. See if the bounce causes any trouble.

Here we go. This partnership may go along way to deciding the test match. Knick ABritish or Amla early and we are bang on top!

Broad in the middle of one of his spells where he decimates teams.
