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

What are their respective strengths?

Would say, when Markram gets in, he finds the right tempo & has shown an ability to get hundreds. Strong v pace. All or nothing.

Bavuma tends to struggle with dominating an attack when he gets in & sometimes he struggles to find the right tempo & has lead to his best being lots of 50s.

 

[SeamUp]

Another early 20s from Stubbs playing a defensive stroke outside his eye line.

 

[Aritro]

Update: Taijul has been dogshit.

Update: He's taken a wicket.

 

[Heboric]

Bangers using a heel commentator - nice. Always wanted to see that in commentary/ post match interviews. Not just reciting from the Book of Cliches.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Bangladesh!!!??! Terrible

After their performances in Pakistan I really thought Bangladesh would be too good fot SA.

 

[SeamUp]

No foot movement , playing away from the body, Beddingham.

 

[SeamUp]

TdZ has dealt well with Taijul's sharp turn into him. Might even be too sharp.

Markram and Bavuma are like yin and yang in their test careers. They wish they had the other ones strengths in addition to their game.

Markram is quickly becoming my most disappointing SA cricketer. Probably going to take over from Duminy at this rate.

 

[Chin Music]

Surely as important as the runs SA finally get on the board is the overs that they can eat up in doing so because I wouldn't want the bowlers to be coming out too soon after their first innings success.

Bavuma is a tryer, I think he's batting close to his maximum potential and I appreciate that,

Markram on the otherhand, he just has this tendency to switch off , I don't think he's an opener whoever decided he was at domestic level never did him any favors , he's far too loose defensively against the new ball ..even in white ball cricket we only really saw the best of Aiden Markram when he got moved down the order.

 

[Molehill]

This sounds like the type of wicket England would love to play on all the time - guaranteed golf on days 4 and 5!!

 

[StephenZA]

That's pure nerves from Breetzke.

 

[Starfighter]

Anyone else get very mildly bothered by Pollock saying the ball that bowled Breetzke had 'no turn'? I've seen spinners go through whole series in Australia without turning one that much. Reminds me of the commentator in another Bangladesh test years ago saying 'no turn yet' when each ball was spinning the width of the stumps.

 

[SeamUp]

That's pure nerves from Breetzke.

He seems that sort of type.

First ball he got put the doubt in his mind.

 

[Aritro]

I love that quick decision from the third umpire. Didn't waste any time "making sure".

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

We need atleast a 100 run lead on this deck

 

[Bahseph]

Deficit gone with 5 wickets in hand should feel a little better than this does. Still seems like this will be a second innings shoot out unless we get a decent partnership.

Wouldn't want less than a 100 run lead. Ideally 150.

 

[SeamUp]

Hopefully these 2 drive each other on.
