South Africa Standing Tall at Number 1 Author: Analyst Maaz; Views: 479; Comments: ; Date: 24-02-2013, 08:48;

Reasons for the 3-0 whitewash:
1) SAs strength – number 1 in the world
2) Conditions – alien, most have never played here
3) Preparation – inadequate to give them a realistic chance
4) Scheduling – last played in July 
5) Injuries – Taufeeq and Junaid
6) Lack of coaching stability since beating England, both head coach and otherwise
7) Lack of prioritising the test game, PSL and revival of bilateral ties higher on agenda
8- Lack of potency in the seam bowling – distinct lack of quality
9) Selection – Ignoring Adnan was an obvious blunder and refusing to play Rehman 
10) Not being pro-active, especially after the 1st defeat such as continuing to open with an all at sea Mohammad Hafeez and not shuffling the batting order
