[Groundking]

I get why they didn't review that but it isn't half dissapointing

That spell from anderson was class. The guy's going to get 700 wickets isn't he

Hopefully.

Till about a day ago, nobody was considering draw as a possible option. Now draw seems possible.

following this match/series on cricinfo, stokes is beating the bat a lot by the looks of things.

is he being genuinely unlucky or bowling slightly too short 'unlucky'?

He could be a little bit more full.

SA are really the only team to try the blockathon properly. Most just cbf.

Its literally anti-cricket. They are killing cricket with this effort.

End it in four days or you're just wasting everyone's time.

Guess the new ball decides our fate.

When you do it with two tests to play and the series on the line, it is friggin' brilliant.

Has Curran had a bowl today? He seems to have been under-used.

That will take some doing. But home series against WI and Pakistan this year should help him on his way.

I don't think we can rely on spin from one end here, Bess isn't going to do it for us.

Cheers for that

Not really the best shot that is it?

 

[StephenZA]

Big wicket just before lunch and a new ball... I don't think that was a good shot though to be playing in the circumstance.

 

[MW1304]

That's the second time I've done that in a couple of days. Not usually into reverse-jinxing but can't argue with these odds.

I just about to type the same. And then Faf decided to give us a helping hand.

Didn't you do the same with QDK in their first innings?

Good effort.

Faf turned into 2015 India tour Faf there.

 

[StephenZA]

It concerns me that both Elgar and Faf have given their wickets away sweeping at the ball, particularly considering the situation. I think this has a direct result of our players trying to find scoring shots against spin and sweeping has become a big option in the team.
