If you need a quick recap of just how badly wrong things went, watch the video of Du Plessis-Miller run out that sent South Africa into meltdown.

People were complaining about the # going too slow. But check out what happens next…

Ah. Well at least no one else should be run out now. That would be embarrassing.

You. Are. Joking.

Just one more time, in case you can’t believe the picture either.

How prosaic. In reality, bowled off an inside edge. Heroic it was not.

Ooof. That’s harsh.

Yeah yeah, laugh it up.

Yes really. It had to be Imran! How underwhelming.

Heh. Outdone by big Morne, though.

Don’t we all!

Ahh colonial humour we can all appreciate.

A perfectly sensible question in the circumstances.

Exactly. Party on!

It’s a full house!

Can’t deny that.

Hmm. Let’s just call it quits, shall we?

Oh go on then. Once more for posterity. You’ve got to laugh.
