Jennings and Dawson are not test match cricketers and

Balance only is in certain conditions. Even in that innings when he got 100 Jennings should have been caught for 0 and the fact he's essentially 100% South African reduces my patience I'm afraid. We have to find at least one more top 3 batsman who can stick around and play properly.

stokes having an iffy spell of form as well but he will come good.
