Title says it all really.

This lot need sorting out fast.

"Quite frankly, it was murder in the sun. South Africa bowled and batted better than England - everything was better. England certainly haven't looked like the number one side in the world in this Test. England's batting was awful." - Boycott

Certainly can't argue about Boycott's analysis

Will be interesting to see if england can respond

Bell needs to hang in there

Rather suspect it will be a non event and SA to go 1 up.

Prior is the only one left in the shed who can bat.

Yes, well, all fairly predictable of course and one needn't have looked at the scorecard either - the simple lack of crowing poms on yahoo told the story as it usually does.

One newspaper commentator contributed the loss to 5 salient points in the game.

1. The dismissal of Pietersen in England’s first innings
2. Poor English batting on the second morning
3. Hashim Amla’s approach to playing Graeme Swann
4. England’s lack of potency with the ball
5. England losing four wickets on fourth evening

In neither innings did Pietersen bat responsibly, nor in the nets on Saturday morning when he experimented with flip shots and extravagant lofts. He seemed to be preparing for a T20. Hahaha, what a tool.

Fair dinkum

England were thrashed

However, just one defeat.

Will be interesting to see how they respond

I don't believe that England will slip into the mediocrity which Australia are currently at

Looking forward to the counter attack

Australia's test team mediocre?

Last four series:

Nov 2011, Aus v SA - Result 1-1

Dec 2011, Aus v NZ - Result 1-1

Jan 2012, Aus v India - Result Australia 4-0

Apr 2012, Aus v WI - Result Australia 2-0

You need to temper your comments with some intelligence, either that or you're just being a troll and a prat. Which one is it?

England delivered a docile pitch for this match - it backfired big time. Let's hope they deliver decent pitches going forward.
