Mntboy Posted January 24, 2018 Share Bucketing in JHB. There may not be cricket today.Could you send some to Cape Town? Is it still raining? If play can happen it'll be one helluva juicy pitch imho and the toss may prove crucial. Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebeen Posted January 24, 2018 Share I want to know who the genius is that schedules test cricket in the Highveld in Jan. Lets see how many sessions are lost to the usual afternoon thunder storm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Proall cricket in the highveld is played in summer, and is affected by thnderstorms. they need to swap seasons with the lions ideally and play from feb to october Ja neeVery strange Haven’t seen that before Day 4 and 5 with the weekend crowdswell we could lose some cricket and get some decent game time then for the weekend.

I also don’t think its fair for both Cape Town and Wanderers to get 2 tests each and other big grounds missing out.

GLuvsMtb Posted January 24, 2018 Share you gotta be kidding me!!! the other grounds miss out because they are always empty!St Georges, Buffalo Park and Bloem have historically drawn good test crowds. The Wanderers is by no means looking like the MCG on Boxing Day today... probably because its a dead rubber and mid-week. It would be interesting to see the % attendance per day on all our test venues since readmission. It is often not the number of people, but how close to capacity the venues get that creates the atmosphere. Hearing the band play all day in PE is something special (although I sometimes mute my TV due to their limited repertoire [emoji6]).
