Stretch Posted December 27, 2018 Share So another 5 day that could potentially be over within 3 days.Looks like it's going to be closer to 2.5 days. I wonder if it's the proliferation of T20 that these cricketers just don't know how to have the patience for test cricket anymore.... Either way the "final" day is going to be exciting.. but still not happy Its over in three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe De Beer Posted December 27, 2018 Share Duane doing the most with an opportunity handed to him due to Philander getting injured. Gonna be tough to leave him out of the 11 for the next test with those bowling figures. So who misses out when Philander is fit? One could argue Dale Steyn, but I love the guy, even if he is not on top form currently. Play 4 seamers maybe?I like a spinner to give the seamers a rest. Hope we don’t play Vern and drop a batsmen as we view him as an all rounder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mntboy Posted December 28, 2018 Share Happy with the 6 wicket win, happier with the first sign of resurgence from Amla. Spoilt for choice regarding the bowling unit. Personally I would prefer it if they kept it the same for the New Years test at Newlands but it sounds as though Vern will play. Maybe they might drop TdB for Vern. However not the route I'd go, I would in fact keep the team unchanged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted December 28, 2018 Share Yeah, nice win. Can’t not pick Vern if he’s properly fit. He’s proper world class and going to perform more often than not. Vern for Duanne is the right call for Newlands . Tough call after this game but the right one. Can’t leave out a batter with our guys scratching a bit for runs.

Faf needs to get some runs under the belt. The Steyn Remover will be regaining his confidence after a steady return to the Test arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe De Beer Posted December 28, 2018 Share Interview with Otis hinted at aiming for 4 seamers and 6 batsmen, with QdK at 6 with the view that you don’t need to score 350 if you can bowl others out for less.. or something to that effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted December 29, 2018 Share "They need to triple my salary, and Aiden's as well, because it's hard work in South Africa." he joked "It's definitely the toughest place in the world to bat, I can vouch for that now. But that's what makes the job so satisfying once you get through the tough times. You look back at those tough times and you really enjoy them. The beer tastes a lot better, I can tell you that. It's very rewarding when you get through those tough times." Dean Elgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddy Posted January 4, 2019 Share And India are 491/6 At tea on day 2. The much vaunted Aus bowling attack is looking quite toothless in the absence of David Warner..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted January 5, 2019 Share "I haven't been back to South Africa in a cricketing capacity since 2010 and the standard of the wickets - the wicket we had at Centurion and the wicket here - I think haven't been good enough for Test cricket."

Mickey ArthurTaking a couple of bouncers and making a blanket statement about South African pitches. Media sure is riding this statement. Batting scorecard since 1st innings doesn't agree with him.

Capricorn Posted January 7, 2019 Share well done to India on the trampling of Aus in their on backyard. Don't get Tim Paine's comments though: it's like he doesn't want to be the captain, and IMO, he pissed all over the aussies' vaunted depth in selection when saying their team wasn't full strength (missing to the two cheaters Warne and Steve Smith). That type of comment is a double backhand to the indian team and any upcoming aussie players. GLuvsMtb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
