    We have our main bowler out as well, so my sympathies are limited.

    But Anderson is going to be fit for the next test. And they have Philander out as well. For us Broad is fit and bowling very well so the loss of Anderson is not felt that much.

    Have to agree . England are NOT reliant on Jimmy IMHO . Yes he is world class & Brilliant , but we do OK without him . As we would if Broad was out & Jimmy was in . Lose both mind ..............

    A crushing win. Plenty of worries for South Africa, not too many for England.

    The only thing England have to worry about is whether to play Anderson in the second test or not.

    England win toss and elect to bat in Second Test. Anderson replacing Woakes.

    I hope Jammy does not breakdown, only two days in between tests. Anyway, batting well so far :)

    Sorry I meant between the last one, when he was injured, and this one. I thought Boycott made sense when he said leave Jimmy out until the third test to be certain of his fitness. If Jimmy says he is fit, OK, I am just worrier by nature.
