After the Bangladesh series, you'd have thought that the team would have been very conscious of trying to produce a consistent effort
With that loss, basically we need to run the table at home against Sri Lanka, and away against Pakistan and England. 7 tests to go, it's possible - but very very unlikely.
Saw this here, thought it was a really good summary of the chances of getting to the next WTC final

I don't see us making it. The significance of the achievement to win the first test championship should now be very clear. We were so consistent for a long time

Series drawn 1-1.
Seriously, what is the fucken point, even a one off test has more riding on it ! Would it kill us to have an extra test against both our foes so far this year ?
We should get awarded the series though since we wasted them way more in our victory than they did with their victory.

Interesting to see some of the excuses/reasons appearing on social media for the 2-2 summer (mainly Williamson, plus Boult for the SA series). It's not like Bangladesh toured here with Shakib al-Hasan, or the South Africans were at full strength and with no recent retirements themselves...

We were so erratic, I've become accustomed to a more consistent BCs performance. Kane's absence must be part of it. I don't think we suffered much in Boult's absence, we could have won both games that we lost if the batsmen had pulled their fingers out

Don't think your World Ranking could handle getting done at home TBH. Losing at home to 5th and 9th isn't healthy.
Just you wait until trans Ta$man rugby gets going again!

Thanks to Boucher and Graeme Smith the Proteas develope the old habit of fighting back after a loss. We saw this against India and now again. England don't had this in the Ashes. But both (Smith and Boucher) have to explain this to CSA.
Hope they survive this.
South African cricket is healthy with lots of Youngs like Baby AB Tristan Stubbs and Ethan Bosch coming through our cricket dyructures.
Sadly there isn't a 3rd test so we'll have to wait another 4 years against our rugby rival.

Crazy to only play 2 matches

jesus the series averages are a bit sick aye?
Park Cricket Colin gets an A for 183 runs at 92
Bs for Nicholls, Blundell and ConwayMitchell gets a D
Jamieson, Latham and Young get fucking Fs. Great big fucking Fs. Barely a run between them. rubbish
With the ball Henry , Wags and Southee get As
C for Jameison and park cricket colinWe took 39 wickets at good averages. This one is on the top 5 in the 2nd test.

@kiwi_expat Stead is not a Boomer. He is one year younger than me I definitely ain't a Boomer!

While we've been giving Timmy grief in the lower order, also noting...
I think they confused his height in feet with his position.

Yeah we'll get pooched, but let's stay on topic eh? @MN5 hates it when rugby treads on the glorious World Champion team that is the BCs.
Especially when they can't win a series at home
@Machpants has taken up the mantle in @Virgils absence by the looks of things.
But yeah, staying on topic the ride was fun while it lasted. Christ on a bike KW can’t comeback fast enough can he ? The most important Black Cap since Paddles, easily.
