I think that England have been good... but they really need to realise how ordinary this SA side that has been selected is. What is truly sad is that there is a far younger and better quality batsmen and bowlers sitting at home and in the change room.

Always is better players until they actually play Test cricket...

No they are better players; these guys selected are good FC players but limited in skill and ability. That does not mean all the talented guys at FC will succeed, but selecting journeyman does not help those more talented players develop or let us know if they can step up.

QDK at 5? This will be interesting one way or another. And Curran's had him a couple of times in this series iirc.

Tbh given the match situation promoting QDK makes sense, they are going nowhere slowly and need a momentum shift.

That is a bad decision really. I know it was clipping on umps call but have to give batter benefit of the doubt there surely?

It’s excruciating. Can’t even turn on the radio to get away from him because he’s all over the coverage of that as well. Do you think any of the other commentators like him?

This isn’t a sign that he’s (and Mark Nicholas) are going to be on Sky coverage on a permanent basis is it? Maybe he can be left to cover the Hundred...

Shouldn't be Sky... this comes through SA Supersport. They have the rights to SA cricket in SA.

Pollock doesn't always articulate himself well but I genuinely enjoy the insight he provides on fast bowling. Even more than Holding.

Pollock is good, Eric Simons good as well. Saffer comms generally decent overall, Haysman a bit of a berk but nothing to bad.

Best is Zimbos, Pommie. Haysman is ghastly I don't know why they keep dragging him back from America. HD is great to listen to as well, commentates domestic stuff a lot.

Today they had Bishop, Duminy, Rabada, HD and Tom Moody for the U19 stuff was great to listen to.
