Cricket......

[Stretch]

You think he would still be playing if it weren't for his accident?

But yes I agree, He was pretty good.

 

would have retired by now I think

[Oxter]

Stretch, you are talking about the experienced boucher with a few matches behind his name, not a 20 odd boy with some definite talent...give the kid a fair chance and dont compare him to one of the great wicketkeepers

[Joe Low]

Same can be said about the ESPN cricinfo crowd. De Kock falling cheaply, sonnow its probably game on.

 

Havent heard them, but they had THE WORST football commentator - Tommy Smyth who was worth muting if you weren't in the mood to harangue the TV set.

 

Do you like the Sky crowd? They seem to be pretty balanced though pom-biased in make-up.

 

R2000 - worst one is Laurence / Louwrens? somebody.

Football? Is that the game the Aussies play on cricket fields?

No, it's the one that matters.

I think Bouch was a much better keeper though...even though he dropped a few and missed a few stumpings he was very good at assisting with placement and keeping moral up...QDK is a bit of a deer in the headlights behind stumps

Bouch also had serious agro in him. Would chirp the *** out of the batsmen. De Kock looks like a laaitie looking at his Dad.

QdK is a gem

With some good match experience and cool mentoring, he can find and unleash some of his unique strengths

 

Comparing him to Bouch The Pouch is futile

 

The SA need all-round depth and he can definitely contribute to that dimension

[PietSw]

Well thank goodness the Boys are finding some Runs, even Bavuma and Morris cashing in.. I'm liking the Poms Body language though, catches going down, tired looking bowlers... They really thought they were gonna roll us twice for under 600.

fair point.....just not entirely convinced he has the ability to step up to the big game....hope he proves me wrong

thats what I mean when i say he's like a deer in the headlights

Now talk about boring... 90 minutes and often not a goal to show for it. The most action in that game are grown men running around grabbing their shins every time an opponent gets near them.

 QdK is a rare talent, no doubt. I do think that SA selectors choose people too quickly though.. Look what happened to Vaugh Van Jaarsveld, he was an awesome talent, but thrown into the deep end to quickly and it killed his international career. QdK needs to work on hi temperament though, he fell right into their plan today.

[Stretch]

50 on debut...not too shabby...tired bowlers or not

[Mntboy]

Bavuma and Morris ticking over nicely! I would be genuinely pleased if Temba can go on and get his maiden hundred. He has done well in difficult circumstances.

[Latent_Blue]

I'd like the idea of a declaration now - putting the well-done pommies under siege by the steyn remover...

[PietSw]

Damn these Poms are tired... Misfields, catches going down everywhere... its lovely
