South Africa v England, 3rd Test, day 3 - Stuart Broad devours the Proteas

Stuart Broad and the South African batsmen’s spineless simply spoiled everything. The Johannesburg Test match was turning out to be a classic, but in the end it was a damp squib.

Stuart Broad dished out yet another hair-raising spell of pace bowling to skittle out South Africa cheaply and left everyone stunned. When the conditions are overcast, you can’t just stop Broad from putting shiver down the spine of the batsmen. He is yet to be considered as one of the greatest bowlers in the history of England cricket, but surely, he is claiming the tag of one of the finest bowlers who loved to deliver match-winning spells.

What has happened to South Africa? The batsmen are still not out of their torrid Test series in India, the seniors have failed to lead from the front, the fielders are lacking the intent and there is a sign of pragmatism in the team which is un-South-African.

What?

I guess, this team is passing through a transition period and every team goes through this. In the course of time, they'll bounce back. But they need a leader for the rebuilding process. The seniors seem more committed to other formats. The ghosts of Twenty20 Leagues must not affect this Proteas unit.
