Bangladesh in South Africa

[Athlai]

Tamim's got his start. Hope he converts.

 

[kingkallis]

Tamim, Ashraful back to pavillion! Morkel took both wickets!

BD 57/3

 

[Athlai]

Bangladesh fold after Tamim goes as usual.

 

[Langeveldt]

I think any time Bangladesh make over 200, you've got to say you've done a poor job of bowling.. We need these last three out soon

 

[popepouri]

Boucher

 

[Langeveldt]

Yeah very poor from South Africa, although Rahim batted very nicely I don't see any excuse for letting them rack up 250.. Haven't been impressed by Morkel all summer and don't think he should be an automatic pick for any SA side at the moment.. I don't see how a test class bowler can be bowling 12 no balls per innings..

 

[Precambrian]

Zondeki, He can't buy a wicket even against Bangladesh.

Yeah but I think he ticks all the right boxes.. Ntini bowled very well I thought, he seems to have slowed his action down a bit

 

[Precambrian]

Why the heck Tsotsobe is not tried? Trying to debut him in Australia?

 

[TT Boy]

Mahbubul Alam looks decent. Bowls at pace and swings it both ways by the look of it.

Decent total by the Bangla boys, South Africa will struggle for the grass is still live and as type Neil Mac goes for a duck. Test match is on!

 

[Precambrian]

Daymn, McKenzie goneeee.

No.

Good job there is no one else then...

Tsotsobe or a fully fit Nel?

Judging by the crowds at recent test matches I don't think the UCBSA are going to be buying any fast bowlers out of their Kolpak contracts..

 

[Athlai]

Good effort in the end by Shakib Tamim Siddique and Rahim to put up a good score. Could be a good little Test match here if Bangers gets a few more wickets.

 

[Briony]

So do people feel that Morne Morkel is not up to test standard? This SA attack will probably have to improve when bowling to the top class Aussies. Steyn had a dirty day at the office too.

 

[Athlai]

Bangers going quite well here.

 

[kingkallis]

Kallis looked out of form in the beginning but it seems he has sattled down a bit now...

SAF 91/2

Amla 44*
Kallis 16*

I think he has the potential to be a test class bowler, but I hope they don't spend too long trying to find out if he's going to live up to expectations..

Mind you, Dale Steyn was poor for well over a year before he really started taking wickets, so what do I know?

Also, tall fast bowlers have the potential to be over rated in SA

I love the way Pommie Mbangwa says "Mahbubul Alam"

And good to see some ladies representing in the crowd.. Deadset the most attractive test "crowd" anywhere in the world is PTA
