Is it time for Duminy to shed bowling duties?

To make the most out of his abilities in Tests, South Africa need to use him higher up the order so that he can bat for longer periods of time, even if it results in him fading as an allrounder

Revamped SA attack holds own on Nagpur turner

Despite the absence of Dale Steyn, the shift to an entirely different bowling combination - two pacers and two frontline spinners - and the unfamiliar conditions, the visiting attack delivered
