It is true that the first Test match ended in a one-sided affair. It is unimaginable that South African cricket team players played so badly in first innings and second innings. South African cricket team players in the first innings game where no batsman managed to score 45+ runs. Even though David bedingham scored 87 runs in the batting of the second innings, the condition of the rest of the batsmen was similar. Throughout the game, it was as if the players of the South African cricket team were held hostage by the players of the New Zealand cricket team.
It was expected, right? CSA prioritized SA20 over the test series. This is why I always say that the ICC World Test Championship should be scrapped and boards should be able to decide on how many test matches they play every year. If the boards can decide on the number of ODI and T20I matches they play every year, then I don't know why the ICC is so adamant regarding the test matches. Test cricket is dying and there is no point in kicking a dead horse. It benefits no one. Just because ICC is awash with funds, they don't need to splurge that on test matches.
