This series has exposed the myth that England have the best attack in the world.
True, and its exposed how bowling as a whole is now a dying art and the game has become geared towards batsmen bullying bowlers on flat tracks.
It also highlights that all these batsmen, with their artificially high averages, are being extremely flattered compared to the eras of yesteryear, when bowlers were the dominant force and batsmen had to work hard to get an average of above 40.
This South African attack is an ok one, but compared to some of the fearsome attacks of the 70's, 80's and 90's, it is very, very average.....No side around today would score more than 200 against a Lillie/Thomson Aussie attack or a Holding/Marshall West Indian attack, because none of the batsmen have techniques that could cope with high class bowlers.
