jimmycool Posted January 8, 2018 Share Well that didn't last long.Still though I think 208 is a bit out of reach on this wicket.Big Vern is going to be a handful imho.And Vern's number 6 goes down!!!I could say I told you so but I won't [emoji12] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted January 8, 2018 Share SA start second innings. All out for 96 first innings.This thread started on an EPIC game. 275 test matches later, another EPIC was delivered. What they can't paper over - SA were a man down after steyn fell.They had the best of the conditionsIt will only get tougher in the highveld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeubok Posted January 8, 2018 Share Agreed, excellent test match! We'll done proteas! For the next game I would just replace steyn with Morris. The afrikaans commentators also thought they should drop maharaj for phelakwayo, to go with an all out pace attack. Which I sort of agree with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted January 9, 2018 Share Duanne Olivier and Lungi Ngidi have been added to the squad in place of Dale Steyn.Are they saying that Dale is as good as 2 players? I feel so sorry for Dale, he has been out for so long and worked so hard to get back and he was on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babse Posted January 9, 2018 Share I feel so sorry for Dale, he has been out for so long and worked so hard to get back and he was on fire.I agree with you, he worked mighty hard to get back.Real shame about the heel injury.

Shebeen Posted January 9, 2018 Share Are they saying that Dale is as good as 2 players? I feel so sorry for Dale, he has been out for so long and worked so hard to get back and he was on fire.steyn has actually been remarkably injury free for a quickie throughout his career until now. He has broken down in his last two tests. I do find it odd that he came into the game under a cloud of match fitness, and then bowled the lionshare of the first innings. to think he was a 21yr old bolter out of Jet's arsenal, guess who also made his debut in the same test in 2004?http://www.espncricinfo.com/series/18218/scorecard/64116/south-africa-vs-england-1st-test/ Steyn lobbed down 16no balls in the first innings alone, he was that WILD!

Shebeen Posted January 9, 2018 Share so, let's get WAY ahead of ourselves here*. What will it take to be #1 again?We will need to beat India 3-0, and then beat Australia by at least 2 in our 4 test series in March. ORif we only beat India 2-0 and then beat Aus 4-0. *Let's just remember that England, yes lowly lowly England, PUMPED us 3-1 six months ago. With Moeen Ali man of the series.
