A team that has batting problems and an unproven lineup, decides to play the number one team in the world with five bowlers and the WK at number 6.

Samuels and Braith. out at 231 and 233 respectively.

Unlike the top teams, we do not have a stable middle order to speak of. Once we are three or four wickets down, we are always going to be prone to batting collapses.

Remember that South Africa were three down for 57 runs in the first test and still ended up posting a massive first innings total.

So, in this case, same dog excrement, different day

From 231/3 to 275/9.
