South Africa has a problem with dead rubber fixtures.
Two weeks ago, in Australia, they lost by a record amount, and on Sunday in Southampton, they went one better, or worse, losing to England by 342 runs the largest defeat by runs in ODI history. It eclipsed Indias 317-run win against Sri Lanka two years ago.
It was a poor showing from us, said captain Temba Bavuma. Looking at how we finished the series off in Australia, this is something we would have wanted to avoid, unfortunately we are in this situation. But, ja, certain conversations will have to be had.
