Christie Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Rabada looks like a brilliant prospect. Imo he got drafted into test cricket a bit early, they need to manage his workload well. He needs someone to bowl well in tandem with, to build pressure. Morkel is bowling below par, but he has done lots and lots of bowling since Dale and Vern got injured. They will have to rest him. we had them on the ropes at 91/4, too bad we couldn't finish them off. All square on day 3. We need to bat well for a day and a halF. What would be a good target, 350?

Mntboy Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 350 will be VERY difficult to chase, anything above 300 will be a competitive score I think.Since we are without a frontline spinner I'd prefer as much over 400 as is possible, which means that at least three of our batsmen need to get big fifties with one kicking onto a hundred. Anything over 350 will be difficult but not impossible especially with Root and Stokes in such good form.
Christie Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Commentators saying 250. The way the ball is bouncing and zipping for the England bowlers, it will be hard to set.

Christie Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 The way this series has gone, Im predicting 150 to 200 target, and a close finish.
Joe Low Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Commentators saying 250. The way the ball is bouncing and zipping for the England bowlers, it will be hard to set. Agreed - cant see how folk think the 2nd innings scores are going to be a lot higher than those in the 1st innings. Whatever is set is going to lead to a nervy finish. Effectively you're 20/2 so if you could keep it under 150 I'd appreciate it. Update 20/3 - thanks Edited January 16, 2016 by Joe Low
milky4130 Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Cricket is a funny game, i dont see SA winning this, with that said stranger things have happened in this lovely game. for example we were bowled out of 100 odd runs, the opening pair put on a good stand & was chipping away at the low score we put them up. Captain has all but given up & decided to rest his best bowlers & give me the part-timer-wannabe a go with the ball. Cant remember the exact figures but i took 4 wickets in 10 balls or less to wrap up & win the game, we got pretty pissed in the pub down the road that day.
Christie Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 It looks like the poor batting on day 1 is going to cost us!
Joe Low Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) 21/4 - someone is going to dig in soon. Edited January 16, 2016 by Joe Low
