A flat bowler unfriendly pitch
PA who struggle to make 200 when facing decent attacks on unflat decks end up saving this test

1 st time that this venue has been used for any cricket match longer than a 1 dayer so a bit tough being critical of the curator who b4 the match was worried that it might not last the 5 days.
Also the fact is that S.A. dropped 3 chances on the last day.
Also any team that is relying on Paul Harris to bowl them to victory have got to be dreaming.
