SA seems a bit conservative with their approach here.

Windies set 457.

Steyn strikes again.

He and Morkel must be the best opening combo in tests these days.

South Africa triumph in a cake walk. Really poor from the West Indies, especially when they were seeking improvement after the dire JAMODI series.

was this Nash's first game batting at 3?

Had a chuckle at Tony Cosier (or another commentator) suggesting the final margin of 163 runs was a fair indication of the difference between the two teams. He neglected to mention that the saffies only lost 14 wickets!

Another match, another batting catastrophe. I'm really not sure what the point of putting Nash at 3 was when he has played a massive part in our improved test match performances batting at 6 to sure up the lower order. If it isn't broken don't fix it!

Shillingford had an impressive debut, Benn looked very good with the ball and Gayle continued his test match renaisance with a sensible 2nd innings performance, but otherwise it was awful.

Barath and Roach will be fit for the next match thankfully and please Lord can Darren Bravo play? If only to give us long suffering Windies fans something to cheer about.

Also Taufel had an absolute shocker as 3rd umpire, which was extremely surprising. How on earth he gave Nash out in the first innings I shall never know and then he missed a pretty clear edge off Bravo.

Aye, a right ol' smashing by the Yarps. Well done them, and back to the drawing board for the Windies.

Shillingford had an impressive debut

Reminds me of Harbhajan. Right down to the slightly questionable action.....
