Time to kick back & enjoy another stylish Elgar knock.

 

[ImpatientLime]

hows the pitch playing?

 

[StephenZA]

Glad to have won this toss!

 

[StephenZA]

Sigh...

 

[SeamUp]

Brain fart central.

 

[TT Boy]

400 is par here. South Africa have blown this. Fancy Yasir will take care of Bavuma.

 

[Gnske]

Is Elgar really going to be forced to carry his bat again?

 

[cnerd123]

de Kock throwing it away there

 

[TT Boy]

de Kock is 29 this year and averages sub 30 at number 5. Top player but if he can’t push on, he needs to drop down to 6 or 7 where a run ball 40 has more value.

 

[StephenZA]

I swear we see one ball spin and our batsmen forget how to bat.

 

[SeamUp]

Oh how I've missed you old friend. Brittle South African batting.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Same old story for SA in sub continent pitch

How’s that working out for you?

 

[TT Boy]

They might not even get 200 here. This wicket is super flat and they are making it look like a minefield. Innings job.

Oops

 

[TT Boy]

Good job they selected 3 quicks though.

 

[cnerd123]

Loose from SA

Good to see Nauman Ali take a few wickets.

 

[StephenZA]

Good job they selected 3 quicks though.

No other spinner in squad. Shamsi injured this morning. Was originally in the team.

Starting to wonder i de Kock needs to take a leaf out of Sanga’s book and give up the gloves in tests to focus on being the best bat he can be. Are there any half decent keeper bats in the SA side who could take up the tole if he switched to batting at 5?
