So at the end of it we were robbed of a great South African chase by ... rain!! It is almost comical the way South Africa keep getting shafted by the Duckworth Lewis method; seems they have done something to displease the rain god. They were doing really well staying up with Required Run Rate, although losing 5 wickets meant they were losing momentum. Quinton de Kock is an absolute beast, and for one I am glad he scored a century against someone other than India. I hope these performances get noticed and he becomes a permanent member in the Test team. He is still very young and has a long way to go in international cricket. 9 ODI hundreds in just 53 matches show what great potential he has in future.

From a South African perspective I realised that we should be looking at the bigger picture - South Africa is in the grips of a horrible drought and Bloemfontein has been particularly badly affected. Taking that into account, it was probably worth losing a match if the rain was significant enough to do some good there.
