Youve mentioned jet lag a couple of times but I think its difficult to say its a likely cause as it definitely impacts people in different ways.

The step up from Tasmanias quicks to South Africas and the pressure of the match is more likely the reason.

Definitely Rabada is a few steps up from Bird.

But my point is, flying someone half way across the world to a different time zone and then asking them to open against the best fast bowling attack having spent the last two days in the field merely a couple of days after a shield final is never likely to end well.

Burns and Renshaw would have benefited from facing the Australian quicks in the nets a few more times before stepping out into the middle.

Tim Paine probably deserves more credit than he got for that innings especially considering the circumstances.

Warne resuming where he left off talking about Sayers. He's bowling some bilge TBF.

About that... was thinking 400+; need to put 250ish on by lunch time tomorrow.

Yeah to be honest 400 probably should be enough.

Scoring rate been good enough too.

The sooner we can get the runs the better with the threat of rain.

Markram 2nd quickest to 1000 runs for SA by innings behind Smith.

AB 3rd, Barlow 4th, G.Pollock 5th, Quinny 6th, Faf 7th

Both equally impressive.

So good from Cummins, looked miles better than the rest of our bowlers this Test.

I hate how Warne has gone about it but Sayers isn't doing himself many favours. If I was putting up a market on how many Tests he plays I am making it 1.5 higher/lower.

Looks like he's gonna go the way of Mennie doesn't it?
