Only 4 teams have lost by more than 300 runs so far. South Africa, Netherlands, Sri Lanka and USA. Sri Lanka has lost by 200+ runs twice. And both times they lost against India. But yesterday South Africa broke all records. They lost by a huge margin of 342 runs. And I don't think any other team will be able to break this shameful record.
In the second match too, we saw South Africa score a big 330. South Africa's batsmen batted brilliantly. They had no chance of winning today's match against a target of 415 runs. However, the batsmen should have tried to reduce the loss. They should have tried to score at least 200 runs. But at the same time, Africa's innings stopped at just 72 runs. They couldn't even score 100.
When lankans lost to India couple of years back with big margin, they had political meltdown and guess everyone took a belt treatment, i remember seeing it as breaking news from one sport journalist, even print media had to say thing or two about it.
Don't think Proteas' will draw this kind of outrage back in home as series was sealed already and last match had no relevance.
