Proteas under pressure

The Proteas are under tremendous pressure going into the third Test against England at Newlands on Sunday after losing the second Test by an innings and 98 runs in Durban today.

The first Test was drawn so the visitors go one up in the series with two to play.

The Proteas selectors will have to think long and hard after the Durban performance where South Africa’s players saw all sorts of demons in the pitch while England made merry on the flat surface.

The local bowlers also failed dismally while English spinner Graeme Swann took five for 54 and fast bowler Stuart Broad took four for 43 in South Africa’s second innings.
