In one of our defeats, the batting was way below par: in the other, the bowling was weak.
In the final game, at 14 for 3 - it was beginning to look all over for the visitors to Kimberley but the fourth wicket pair decided that this was not going to be the case.
A stand of 232, with records tumbling and both Buttler and Malan claiming superb centuries transformed the match and left S. Africa a huge total of 347 to chase.
Step forward Jofra Archer who has now shaken off the injuries which have beset his career. He claimed a record breaking sixfer in his destruction of the South African batting line up.
England won by 59 runs in a game that had both sides showing what they could do.
