Wasted review, hits bat on way through.

 

[vogue]

Yep. Wasted review.

Wasted review, hits bat on way through.

Not very smart at all from the bowler. Root's going to need to be pretty strong with that kind of call.

 

[Prince EWS]

Kuhn starting to nail those off-side shots he was mistiming earlier, now.

 

[SeamUp]

Yeah Morris is insurance now that you have a weaker frontline attack. I also think that part of the reason de Bruyn was selected over Morris in the first Test was the fact that his part time meds had been reaping a bit more success than usual in the A series and the tour game leading up to the Test - the figures suggested he'd been working on his bowling a bit - so when he bowled such crap in the first Test that Bavuma ended up preferred as the fourth seamer, he was always going to be vulnerable.

I would hate if those cheap wickets in warm-up were considered but they probably did. Even though I always laugh about it because like Behardien they never bowled domestically but expected to contribute.

Just hope Theunis is being spoken too that he still will get a chance of an extended run due to his serious batting ability.

 

[SeamUp]

Good session for SA that.

 

[91Jmay]

Good session for SA, Kuhn looks really shaky but battling well.

 

[SeamUp]

Kuhn faced some good attacks in his time on sporty wickets domestically over the years. Has a good ability to kick on when he gets in. That cut was so typical and so savage. Hash has looked nice and dispatched a couple with those lovely wrists of his and gone past 8000 test runs.

 

[Heboric]

I wonder if Amla has another 2000 runs in him, would be nice to see him get to 10 000

 

[Gob]

Lack of intent shown by the South Africans in this session has been appalling.

 

[Moonsorrow999]

Stuart Broad is so troll when it comes to reviews.

 

[91Jmay]

2nd horror review. Awful.

 

[BigCaine]

I see root is taking drs lessons from kohli.

 

[91Jmay]

Not going to lie, if we let Kuhn score a ton against us I'll be pretty annoyed. He looks so hacky at the moment.

 

[wpdavid]

SA will be happy with this so far. There's plenty of movement for bowers who can actually manage to get the ball in the right areas.

 

[91Jmay]

Finally, that had been coming. Great bowling since lunch.

 

[StephenZA]

QDK coming in at 4 rather than 5/6 is a bold decision,

 

[wpdavid]

And it is indeed QDK at number 4. Should be an interesting passage of play.

 

[MW1304]

Great stuff since lunch. Amla toughing it out in his usual elegant way.

BBC demonstrating their superiority over newbie organizations.
