Southee these days is a rank #11 somehow still living on distant past glories to bat higher up.
I came to say exactly that.
Last three years Tim averages 9, Wagner averages 25 and Henry (very small sample of course) 39.

Pretty pathetic really.
This team has been a shower of shit for most of their home summer.
This is a road.
That's about 8 give-away wickets, including the trailenders. Edit. Although, I'm not really in the camp of the 2 leg side glances being giveaways, if I'm honest, just shit happens ....

With the focus Southee has put on his bowling he seems to have forgotten how to bat

Yep, the de Grandhomme and Mitchell show with the bat. Otherwise a top order full of brain explosions (Latham, Blundell) or just poor application...
Don't expect much better from Latham second innings, he doesn't like playing SA. He averages 10.77 against SA

Both he and Conway got out in cheap fashion. Need more from both of them. The entire top order can give themselves an uppercut

At least he can bowl, good start

Another DRS appeal Shane Watson would be proud of. Funny how Wags was egging him on to review 😁
To be fair it did end up being umpires call. It looked more plumb than it was.
The ball tracker had it dead on middle stump didn't it?

Nope. It was just top of bail.
Cricinfo description:2.3 130.9kmh, really loud and confident appeal for the inswinger, given out, Erwee chats with Elgar and reviews it just in time. So this is what Southee had been trying for, with his inswingers on the pads. Replays show it pitched on middle, swung in past the inside edge, no bat confirmed, and hit him slightly high on the pad, and ball-tracking says "umpire's call" marginally. So Erwee walks back but SA don't lose a review 12/1 -

Anyone noticing that Sparks "down the wicket" coverage sometimes has the pitch slightly to the side of the screen?
It's a bit weird. Not sure if I approve.
From behind you mean? They have a camera on tracks behind the wicket

That's the best test innings I've seen dG play... bit disappointing though that most of the lower order couldn't build long enough partnerships with him so we could get closer to their 1st innings total, anyway, overall that was a bloody good fightback.
Day 3 - South Africa lead by 211 runs.
South Africa : 140/5 {53}
