[ashley bach]

Another run and that may have been the first time in test history where both teams best partnership was the 10th wicket.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Who would have thought we would end up with a lead at 97/9 ..

West Indies have blown it massively,

Now we just need to knuckle down and go big , Markram is due a score

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Seales is a bit of a fiesty character , De Zorzi with the perfect response what a splendid drive

Holder test average 30.30
Seales test average 25.25 @SillyCowCorner1

 

[Silver Silva]

Why does Holder take the new ball when Shamar Joseph got a 5fer in the first innings ?
Senior privilege maybe

 

[ashley bach]

That's a hell of a good question and doubt anyone has a good answer.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Sorry guys, I’m not posting as often. I’m in Amish country again.

Also, Shamar Joseph is not a ****ing number 11!

He couldn’t here. He just walked onto the field. He also went off during the first innings yesterday. May have a niggle.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

SA are going to be batting until tea tomorrow. Today is the best day for batting…and the crucial 3rd day.

Bat until the cows come home

Holder is a really good 2nd innings opening bowler. He’s got the stats to back him up. Shamar is an exceptional (older ball) bowler in the second innings; he’s got the stats to back him up.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

50 partnership now , 65 run lead ..

I think we are now slightly ahead , next goal is a 100 run lead

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

100 run lead but we've lost De Zorzi .
That was an important opening stand

 

[ashley bach]

1-111 at the tea break. Nelson says hi @SillyCowCorner1

I showed this to my Amish friends and they are in agreement of the beauty of Nelson.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Markram gone , huge breakthrough for the West Indies

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That was a good wicket to have at this point, Motie is asking questions

 

[trundler]

Did that keep low? Aside from that, this looks a batting deck now. Not a lot happening with the ball

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Lead is now 150 , there is so much time left in the game there's no point thinking what's a good score to set ..Just have to bat time and wear down the pitch

 

[trundler]

Bit of a nothing shot, really.

Up to SA's youngsters now. Keen to see how Bedingham goes

 

[TT Boy]

Windies have done really well to keep things quiet here in more sedate conditions. The game could have been gone by now after the start the openers made.
