    Hashim Amla, Dale Steyn both dropped

    South Africa axe Amla and Steyn

    Perhaps an indication of desperation from South Africa? Dale Steyn, who I really rate as a young quick, has been dropped/axed along with the hapless Hashim Amla. I can’t quite follow the logic here, but I suppose SA just want a bit more control from their bowlers.

    Amla has really only Dippenaar to compete with, and Dippenaar has made some runs.

    Hi Alan. Dippenaar’s only made 207 runs in the series, the bulk of that being his hundred in the first Test. His feet weren’t moving at all come the fourth Test, so it’ll be interesting to see how he comes out on Friday. Time is limited I’d say.

    Latest rumour is Dippenaar will lose his place to Hall (who would also help with his seam-up). Nel is a cert too
