That was a good session for SA , just the one wicket lost , Bavuma holding things together

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

New ball taken and it got a wicket almost immediately-- 2 balls it took.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Good ball by Roach , experienced campaigner ..

It's another start for Rickelton..Yet to score a 50 for SA

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Bavuma gone ..Can we get past 300 ?

 

[TT Boy]

South Africa have been tied down too easily today. Better outfits are scoring at close to 4 or above on this surface irrespective of the outfield. Both these two were initially positive but have literally done nothing for half an hour now. It is a 400+ wicket and the forecast is not good for tomorrow and the weekend. They need to move the game forward.

Bavuma gone ..Can we get past 300 ?

Missed a full toss. Some very ordinary dismissals today.

 

[ashley bach]

Jeez they're really crawling of late these guys.

One run off the bat in the last half an hour

You don't often see two caught and bowleds in a row. Bizarre.

 

[Starfighter]

I wake up and turn it on and see the WI bowling look absolutely toothless, then Warrican suddenly takes two in two both caught and bowled.

Apart from the T20 WC and a couple of games in January, he hasn't played any international cricket. He's only been involved in T20 comps and domestic stuff so resting him from internationals to manage his workload just sounds weird to me.

Could not agree more. Shukri Conrad is up to something

 

[ThatSportsGent]

I'm very much in the to be convinced Stubbs is a number 3 in test cricket. He was looking okay but that's a nothing defensive shot with an angled bat.

Stubbs is a generational talent. But batting him at 3 in this line up is going to kill him. Bavuma is a much better option in current line up

 

[ThatSportsGent]

He scored his SA A hundred in Sri Lanka at 3 too.

Personally would go Bavuma 3, Bedingham 4 & let Stubbs ease in but maybe this has been lined up for a while & Conrad is just genuinely backing him there for long-term planning & considering we play such little test cricket. He was talking more about Stubbs' psyche being prepared for the challenge.

Exactly my preferred line up

A review for the ages:

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

All out for 357 ..
It's an okay total ,Lot of starts

 

[StephenZA]

And Mulder still hasn't got his 50 that everyone wants... And unlikely to get it soon batting down at 8.
