Played, we are back in this match though.

JP is due a meaningful score though.

 

[wpdavid]

Well played Sir

Now miss a straight one and bugger off.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wait they dropped Faf for Duminy? Makes no sense to me, especially with Piedt back in the side.

Its very odd, Rilee for Faf was the obvious choice.

Maybe they didn't want two debutants in the top six.

 

[indiaholic]

What was that AB..... while the new guy is trying to get his ton... why don't we add a little more pressure!

Think it's fair to say he is Broad's bunny now.

 

[91Jmay]

Still SA day by a long way but AB blob after his pre match chat is hilarious.

 

[wpdavid]

Piedt will like the sight of that one when his side are 251 for 3.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah this pitch will take turn. We need one before new ball at 2 after to get back level in the game.

 

[91Jmay]

Since i've been watching we've bowled 3 boundary balls in two overs. Guessing it has been this bad all day?

 

[Captain_Cook]

There is a distinct possibility that SC Cook could score more runs in this innings than AN Cook will score in the entire series. Stephen currently has 9 more runs than Alastair in the series so far.

Rilee ugghh

Well good thing you called yourself Cook. Can't go wrong then

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Unlike the wicket in the first test safe to say this one wasn't deserved.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah he didn't deserve that at all. All of a sudden we've had a reasonable day despite by all accounts bowling like total ****wits for most of it.

 

[wpdavid]

Yeah this pitch will take turn. We need one before new ball at 2 after to get back level in the game.

Yup. If we actually bowl well with the new ball we could still dismiss them for about 350.


EDIT
Especially if Moeen send down a few more like that at Duminy first. I'm not sure I'd rush to take the new ball tonight.
But I don't think batting 4th on this will be easy.

 

[Marius]

What's it looking like in Cneturion?

It's fairly gloomy here in Jhb.

 

[Captain_Cook]

AN Cook trails by 13 runs in the first innings. Has to set SC Cook a tricky target in the second innings. A ton required to win the Battle of the Cooks.

 

[Pothas]

Oh dear.
