I would love to see Rabada dominate this third innings. Bowled too many 4 balls this series.

I used to think he was on par with Cummins, I dont think so any more.

I wouldn't call Crawleys first 12 balls today as beautiful batting lol. 2 nice shots mixed in with a few plays and misses and one where he nearly smashed the ball off his pad back into his stumps

Good luck to the lad, but he's opening for England with a FC average of 30. And there he goes.

Never looked like he was going to last all that long did he. There were some nice shots in there at least, can kind of see why people rate him.

He's not without talent. Perhaps this morning's innings showed why his FC average is 30. I'd have taken 25 if you'd offered it beforehand.

Same. It obviously a reflection of where we are that he was in the squad in first place. I don't think they actually thought he would play a match this winter.

To my (admittedly ageing and myopic) eyes Sibley's technique has a touch of the Fat Gray's about it. Or a mirror image thereof.

High backlift, closed bat face on the drive, preference for the front foot.

If he has half the career Smith did he'll go ok.

Good from Denly to play the big shot. SA trying to strangle us here, stop us scoring and force the collapse, can't let them settle in.

Kind of. You can be positive without running down the track and hoping for the best, which is what it seems. Needs to work on going back to the spinner, Stokes did it really well to negate Lyon.
