Ali spins England to crushing win
But Domingo dismissed any suggestion of crisis, and rather insisted something would change in the near future for his battling batsmen.

South Africa added wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock and fast bowler Chris Morris to their squad for the second test against England, which starts in Cape Town on Saturday, just minutes after being beaten in the first match in Durban on Wednesday.
“It was a pretty good Test match”, a smiling England captain Alastair Cook said afterward.
“The danger is the word complacency”.
“There is a big opportunity that presents itself when you play like that but it can turn very quickly”.
“Let’s not get too carried away, but it would be great if we can continue to push pressure on South Africa”. “We have to be quite patient with the younger guys and hopefully senior guys like myself will start getting runs for the team”. The guys know what’s out there for them if they’re prepared to work hard.
England had plenty of other candidates who could have taken the honour, with Stuart Broad and Nick Compton playing vital roles in helping set up the game.
Two-and-a-half years since he was cast aside amid suggestions his face did not fit, the 32-year-old batted with rare discipline in the city of his birth. “He was a rock for us in that first innings”. And England’s challenge to win the series could be boosted by the return of Anderson.
The reasons for that absence have always been a bone of contention, with suggestions of a personality clash with former team director Andy Flower and suspicions that Compton’s intense nature did not sit easily in the dressing room.
Amla himself has hit the longest batting slump of his worldwide career, scoring 150 runs in 10 Test innings at an average of 15.00 with a highest score of 43.
And there was even partial redemption for Jonny Bairstow, who responded to his missed stumping of De Villiers late on day four by whipping off the bails to see off Temba Bavuma for a duck. I’d like to say I was going to bat first but that would be lying.
For India, this could be the first time they go to the zenith of the rankings since 2011 when they lost it to England. This was also the lowest total for which South Africa have been bowled out in the fourth innings at home since 1992.
“Potentially this group can do some actually good issues, there’s a lot expertise on this side and I assume we’re seeing so much of youthful guys coming via”.
“To get another one and get into the game was really pleasing and something I can take forward”. “I try to make a difference”.
Not so easy. England’s Barmy Army of rowdy traveling fans, scarce in Durban, is expected to arrive in full force for the marquee New Year test in Cape Town.
