TMS debate the future of South African Test Cricket.

Jonathan Agnew is joined by Mark Boucher and Firdose Moonda to examine an unknown future.

South Africa have lost the series and also lost their position as the number 1 Test team in the world.
And since their heavy defeat at the Wanderers all sorts of obituaries have been written suggesting South Africa may be in decline when it comes to Test Cricket. The weakness of the currency, the Rand, is making it more tempting for players to seek lucrative Twenty20 contracts with the Test future of captain AB de Villiers in doubt. Perhaps the success of players like Temba Bavuma and Kagiso Rabada could inspire a generation of new players. Well the England team took time out before this game to meet some promising young cricketers and we went to see them and after listening to that Jonathan Agnew was joined by former South African international Mark Boucher who鈥檚 seen plenty of ups and downs over the 15 years he played Test cricket for South Africa along with the South Africa correspondent from of Cricinfo Firdose Moonda.
They discuss what the future may hold.
