Yeah fair call. Its great to see him step up right around when we will probably see Wagner hang up the boots.
Hmm, I'm more dubious on the batting stocks than the bowlers. Ferguson, Henry, Duffy and Sears are all test level talents. Spin behind Ajaz is a problem, because I don't think Rippon or whoever is the answer but it's almost impossible to judge spinners on Shield decks. Ajaz stands out for actually taking wickets on them at a healthy rate.
I'll never stop being mad about that missing slip.
Posts like that as so lame but they will never, ever not be hilarious.
interesting article there Hogan(if i may call you that)Hard to believe. He had a former test player comparing him to Graeme Pollock when he was 19 and predicting he would be in the test team within a year or so.
A bright future for Devon Conway, who should be in the national team sooner rather than later | Witness
IT is sad indictment of the state of South African cricket that the two most significant innings played by a young batsman since Jacques Kallis made his first class debut were watched by a pitiful crowd of less than 50 and attracted no mention at all in either the print or electronic media.

It’s meant to have some statistical analysis behind it. Generally speaking edges in the sub continent tend to be a bit thicker because of the lower levels of lateral movement. The 1st test v Pakistan in 2018 was a classic example with Taylor snapping up a thick edge from a wagner delivery at 1.5 slip.
I'm afraid to say if that's the case, you need to choose your days much more carefully.I'm disappointed that this is the first full day of cricket I'll get to watch this series
You and only two or three others on this site have played better cricket so I will stand down.
could of told you that nearly 3 weeks ago.
First test, yes, but we really needed him to stand up again in the second - even a couple of 20s or 30s would have provided us with a bit of a foundation. Unfortunately it ended up being one of the worst matches of his whole career.
Biggest disappointment IMO, dude got a double century at Lord's on debut, could've done well here.
Made it to Chennai in 2016 for 2 weeks.
