indeed maybe.
i think its a combination of a fair few things and weather definately played a big part in it. also many really underestimated the saffers thinking they would be bowled out fairly easily..... you underestimate them at your peril because they are a talented side

True OF, on the face of it 5 sessions for 124 overs is outrageously slow, and Smith appears to be equally culpable. However, I am not sure if SA were really out in the field for 5 sessions worth (ie 10 hours). There were interruptions to most sessions, and time was lost due to rain, bad light and similar atmospheric conditions. Hence not sure if there was an actual case to answer.

Maranello - I should research the facts before I post items like this. I've done so now. See post here.
