Dale Steyn has tight hamstring and is being treeted now. Should be fit to bowl again...

Not sure if Tahir usually has a problem with no balls, but he's now bowled three. Pretty rubbish for a spinner.

Not the first time it's happened.

He's not bowled well, but let's keep the personal insults to a minimum, hey?

 

[NUFAN]

Dydl, for a spinner he does bowl a high number of no-balls, theres no excuse for it.

Just looking at the scorecard and in years to come people/aliens are going to be looking at this scorecard and thinking WTF. 3 low scores, fast tons, half the attack not completing their overs, etc etc.

 

[Spikey]

clarkeh should have rejected the single

 

[Riggins]

Thanks bro. I had no idea who it was, just knew it wasn't anyone currently in the Shield team, since they are playing tomorrow.

Really should be Christo doing it tbh. Best fielder etc. Would also be hilarious.

CA didn't want to pay for maintenance costs to the dressing room just in case DC brought out the wrong gloves.

. @Crankie82 " record for no. 5 batsman score on day 1 of a Test". Yep, a new record today - previously 163 Javed Miandad Pak v NZ 1976-77

 

[Burgey]

just logged on cricinfo to check the score.....WTF

It was 3/50 odd again at one stage

 

[Briony]

Great batting by Australia but another shocker from SA's bowlers.

Du Plessis & Tahir in tandem makes baby Jesus cry.

Doesn't the virus bowl some medium? Can't be any worse, surely to god?

Not a good luck for a #1 team. Looks the friendliest SA attack for some time. They've barely fired a shot on this tour. All the injuries haven't helped. Maybe time to revitalise their team a bit. And surely the Tahir experiment is over.

 

[Spark]

du Plessis hasn't been that bad (first over aside). Going for less than Tahir, anyway

 

[Briony]

And Punter must be kicking himself.

 

[AlanJLegend]

I swear I'm not just Tahir bashing. But does this remind anybody else of Bryce McGain?
