Showtime Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Faf must be pulling his hair out with the pitches prepared for the last two tests. Centurion was slow the way India like it and we had to play really well to win that one. Now, this pitch which makes almost any bowler unplayable negates any advantage of having faster bowlers than them. When you visit India there is no way they level the playing field for you. WhuYu 1
Mntboy Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 We badly need a partnership of 50 or more. Somebody needs to stay with # or we'll wind up behind the 8 ball. Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk
'Dale Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 And as I praise Rabada he gets out. Job done though. He can be well pleased with his 30 of 84. Sent from my SM-J200H using TapatalkMore or less matches Kumar’s effort with the bat The Mighty Hash delivers a mighty 50 Mntboy 1
Mntboy Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 More or less matches Kumar’s effort with the bat The Mighty Hash delivers a mighty 50Probably better than Kumar's since he was facing the new ball. # wonderful batter. Hoping Philander and Phehlukwayo can stick with him for long enough for us to get a decent lead. This pitch damned difficult to bat on and any lead could be crucial.

'Dale Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Very handy 27* by The Vern Bounce brutal in its unpredictability. Amla's 120 ball innings - priceless. Mntboy 1
Mntboy Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Very handy 27* by The Vern Bounce brutal in its unpredictability. Amla's 120 ball innings - priceless.Ja that uneven bounce may just be the deciding factor in this match. And I wouldn't consider it unfair if the BCCI queries the ICC on the rating of this pitch. Not sure I'd call it a cricket wicket. Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk
Mntboy Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Here's to hoping Philander and Phehlukwayo can get us a lead. 20 to 30 will do. Just enough to build pressure. Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk
Mntboy Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 That innings by # though. Class just pure Class! Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk 'Dale 1
Kranswurm Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 The groundsman needs to be fired for producing a wicket like this
'Dale Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Overheard on the telegraph that it's a Wednesday start due to the tight scheduling as influenced by the Indian bureaucrats. Was originally due to be 4 testsSo 1 test had to fall off and 1 ODI added Of course, the tight schedule bit the visitors in the bum-bum as they lacked match practice on African soil.
Mntboy Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 If I have a heart attack remind me to send the bill to the Lions. Loads of to-ing and fro-ing. Tense tense test cricket on a difficult uneven fast pitch! Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk
'Dale Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 aaaand a mighty straight drive to the boundary by Mighty Morkel.... lead by 2

Mntboy Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Surprisingly, no bones have been fractured yet heyBut plenty of bruises for both # and Pujara. That sharp rising ball into the body hard to negotiate at times. Again, one bloody tough pitch to bat on. Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk
Mntboy Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 A seven run lead for us. Essentially a second innings shoot out. Let's hope we can blast out a few wickets before stumps! Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk Piston ZA 1
Piston ZA Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 83 runs (42% of the total score) added by our bowlers. 4 of our 5 bowlers each outscored all of the recognised batters bar # WhuYu and Mntboy 2
