IMO McKenzie's bad form has gone under the radar a little due to how well the overall South African team was going.
Morkel is definatley struggling for consistency an area which SAF were so good over here with. Ntini is another who struggles for consistency so with both not at their best form it's hard to build the attack around them.
What changes will Australia make. McDonald (who i don't really like and rate) has done a very workman like job and could consider himself unlucky if dropped.
I personally think Johnson needs to be rested, he is gonna be the go to man for the next 5-10 years so dead rubbers like this will be the perfect chance to let him re-energise and not burn him out. Siddle has been brilliant this series and will be crucial again in the Ashes so maybe he needs to be rested as his carrying the foot injury.
