On a positive note Sibley got a highest test score, if Burns and Denly do the same we will be close to winning before getting to the sicknotes.

I`m getting irritated about the 1st slip being to deep. Both the catches clearly reached Rassie, 1st one he just dropped, 2nd one a bit tougher. As for QDK wicket-keeping, he has always stepped towards the bowler, he watches the bowler from behind and just before the ball is bowled steps forward to get behind the wicket better. Nothing has changed. And I`m pretty confident that if this was a serious problem Boucher would be a pretty good person to fix it quickly.

Rassie doesn't give me confidence. Slip catching looked regulation for Wessels, McMillan, Cullinan, Pollock, Kallis, Hall, Smith, de Villiers & co.

I'm still leaning towards you should take both comfortably even with QdK diving. First one was so slow and whilst the 2nd one came faster it was at a decent height.

"Good" is probably going too far. He looks quite a bit worse than his average and his average is 32.

Definitely worth persevering with though. He's got a lot of time at the crease against good attacks, which gives him a decent chance of becoming good.

What are you talking about he looks worse than his 32 average? He has done a fine job this year and has looked very good this innings. I thought the days of judging a players abulity by his technique had gone lol.

If you don't look at his bat, Burns really looks adjusted to test cricket tbh. This knock is proving rather convincing of that.

Apparently Burns is averaging 46 since the start of the Ashes, which suggests an improvement after his first couple of series. Especially against attacks of that quality.

If these two survive the day I wouldn't even let them in the changing room. Take them straight to a separate hotel from the rest of the team
