If we can get another two before close of play - it should make for an interesting test

Great batting by the tail, but the top order was pathetic imo. Reminded me of the times we depended on Boucher, Polloc & Klusner to save an innings. If the rest of the top 6 could each get 30 runs it will make the difference from being behind to being in command. Very, very poor, perhas AB should take a rest and give Tsolikile a go? Cant do worse.

Lets see them bat.

Watson is the best cricketer ever. There is no way we will get his wicket before lunch on day 3.

Cursed you are Mr Watson.devil.gif

Totaly agree with you, if you use your logic and if all the batsman before Faf made 30 runs the score would of been 342 which would of been a very respectable score.

one down already...this could be a quick game, although seeing faf batting untroubled does suggest there aren't as many gremlins as we made out to be. big game for Vern.

 

looking at the seam bowlers ICC rankings:

Steyn #1

Philander #3

Morkel #8

Petersen unranked

Kallis #34(but not bowling)

 

Watson #22

Starc #74

johnson #23

Hastings debut

Lyon #25

Stats, schmats. If Dale hits his straps we'll be in with a shout. Believe it or not, but we are that good

 

Way back when, in the days of white lightning and vinnige Fanie, we could maybe defend a low score.

 

Granted Dale is the top ranked bowler and Morkel is also up there with Vern in the top ten so maybe, they can bowl us back into the game.

 

BUT, they are going to have to bowl their boots off.

 

Who knows, maybe my rant was premature and runs are hard to come by on this pitch. (Don't think so though.)

 

For the rest of this match, I think we are the ones doing the chasing.

 

Another coupe of days and we will get some kind of idea of where it's all headed. The ebb and flow of the sessions..

 

Sessions, 1, 2, and three go the way of the hosts. Now we dig deep and try to come back into the game.
