Just so people will always have a chance to argue he is an inventive & aggresive captain. Doesn't matter it's a flawed argument.Such a weird decision. Why wouldn't you get literally 3 more runs
Amla conservative? How could you say that??? Forgot about him declaring behind in Capetown 2016. Et voila, monsieur, debate won!

Hardly makes a difference, does it?Such a weird decision. Why wouldn't you get literally 3 more runs
I guess I just figured that letting your number 9 play out an over of part time off-spin meant that you weren't going to declare behind. So then doing so seems odd.

Ok, awkward question, but.....
Having been to SA once, I was corrected that Ashwell Prince was not black, but brown/coloured. Completely baffled, I got a lecture on it, which I took reluctantly. During tea, Nasser said Bavuma is the first black batsman to get a 100 for SA. I guess I still don't understand SA's racial classifications. Why is Bavuma black?

They probably took a few minutes to actually decide they were going to declare after Temba got his hundred.

Doesn't Gibbs count? He was mixed heritage.

Which is very odd. If anything, Temba approaching his hundred should have complicated things for Amla, as surely they would have preferred to declare about 30 minutes earlier.

The point being (iirc), that mixed doesn't count as black, but as coloured. In SA, there is white, black, coloured & indian. At least that is how I understood things. To me, Bavuma looks mixed.

Let's be honest, draw is already secured barring idiocy. There's just zero in this deck.

We might as well count Cook's pull that hit Bavuma in the last over (though it was a no ball) if we're going that far. It's only a catch if you happen to be wearing a jumper in 37C heat and it sticks in the wool ala Voges.

It's nearly always an hour before the end isn't it?
Saffas will surely try to chase 200 in 30 overs. Once it goes over that i think we can forget it.

Well batted Bavuma, I saw him getting battered by stokes earlier and amazed to see he got a ton..
