Well done the Proteas, winning by 300-odd runs. Steyn got a tenner in the match, Kallis got 186 in the 2nd innings, and Amla benefitted hugely by being dropped by McCullum when on 2, cashing in with an unbeaten 176.

But I`m really disappointed in the way the Black Caps just rolled over. I mean, dismissing SA for a very poor 226 in the 1st innings, then to get rolled over for 118 on what was a very good batting wicket still on day 2. Kallis and Amla certainly proved that if you applied yourself a bit, you could trust the bounce and cash in heavily on a wicket that gave full money for decent strokeplay.

And I don`t care that it`s been 11 months since the Black Caps last played a test match. 18 of their 19 wickets to fall, was because of the batsman being stuck on the crease. And the other one was Oram throwing it away to Harris. Very poor application, and it needs to be sorted sharpish unless they want to cop another huge defeat in the 2nd test.
