We have borne the brunt again of a dropped catch. The bowlers toiled hard and I can't fault them for that. They tried to take wickets all the time.
"John Michael "Mickey" Arthur" is a South African cricketer who played South African domestic cricket from 1986 to 2001. He coached the South Africa cricket team/South African national team from 2005 to 2010, and was the coach of the Australia national cricket team until his sacking on 23 June 2013.

He tweaked a hamstring (in the first Test) in Cape Town, and he was just feeling the effects.
It looks a little bit browner although there is still moisture beneath the surface. I do like going into a Test match with a spinner, to be honest, because it gives you greater options. But conditions must allow for that.
