South Africa in Bangladesh: Two Test Series, 21-25 Oct, 29 Oct-2 Nov

We're 8 overs into the match and it's already turning square. I hate this ****. Make it a proper cricket match and give the batsmen a chance. Particularly our batsmen, who need the pitch to be placid for a couple of days if they're to make any sort of score.

I think we need 220 in the first innings because 200 might start becoming daunting for either team after that on this deck. We're not going to get there. Our top order is such a joke.

Actually our innings officially start after our top order batters are dismissed.

Bowling strike rates seem to have really dropped over the last few years. Everyone is trying to score quickly these days.

Rabadas is still insane though. Hope he becomes SA’s leading wicket taker.
Rabada is currently going at 4.67 wickets per match. By that rate, he should reach 500 wicket mark after approximately 30-35 more tests. Pretty much possible imo.
