That's one of the quicker examples of being proven overwhelmingly wrong I've seen on this forum.

How good is it that we don't notice Bairstow that much any more, just does his stuff and seems to be cutting out the mistakes. Looks a more accomplished keeper than 12 months ago.

I worry that England being 50-3 again might be on the optimistic side.
Depends on the ball I guess, if it moves about then Philander could have us in a lot of trouble. If it is one that does very little then we may get away with it.

Don't think anyone would moan today if Ballance got a stodgy 35 off 130 balls.

Yeah but does that really matter when they move to 400/5?

Seriously though, Philander is going to be a ****ing handful first up......but see that off, the sun is supposed to come out and it should be make hay time. Just gotta see off the rest of this session with minimal damage.

Absolutely!!! He really has come on a treat, pretty much done what Prior did.

Ha, doubt they would have referred it for a catch but he is out so we move on. At least we got the right decision in the end.
