“Anyone would miss that sort of experience”, he added.

“He’s been a handful for those of us who have had the misfortune of facing him in the nets, ” South Africa captain Hashim Amla said of Steyn.

“Of course you’d love Jimmy to be in the eleven – but he’s not and we’ll cope with that”.

“We’re not sure what to expect out there yet – we’re still a couple of days out from the Test – but we’ll just have to react as quickly as we can”.

South African pace spearhead Dale Steyn has admitted that his side have been struggling at the moment, insisting that they need “good guidance” in order to be back on track ahead of their Test series against England.

“Having played a lot of cricket I know that the conditions they faced in India were so different to what we’re going to face here, ” said Broad.

Even so, fellow Yorkshire batsman Gary Ballance was given a thorough workout in the nets and provides cover for any of the top six slots.

But South Africa have lost much of their swagger since charismatic captain Graeme Smith and all-rounder Jacques Kallis retired.

Despite the loss and its low ranking of sixth, England can go into the series confident of its ability to take advantage of a wounded opponent, with the Proteas smarting from a 3-0 defeat in a four-match series in India.
