    To be fair to Verreynne he has had to deal with some pretty dire situations coming in to bat , and his keeping has been really good , many of us were surprised when Conrad dropped him for the West Indies tour of South Africa , he's actually played some pretty amazing knocks in his short career.

    So Kyle Verreynne's 100 is the first by a SA keeper in Bangladesh, SA keepers have tons in 9 different countries now. First SA keeper to score a Test Hundred in each country : England - Percy Sherwell (1907) South Africa - Billy Wade (1949) Zimbabwe - Mark Boucher - (1999) Australia - AB De...

    Take a bow Kyle Verreynne! 2nd Test hundred , coming in at 99/5 a tremendous display of temperament. Man he always seems to score runs in a crisis .

    Surely Piedt is in line for a batting promotion now

    Hockey has been responsible for so many sa batters forming a good skillset against spin , something CSA should take note of and perhaps ensure Hockey is well looked after in the country.

    We have 5 keepers in our line up if Verreynne is feeling sore surely one of them can pick up the gloves

    Hope someone can stick around with Verreynne for that test hundred , he deserves it !

    It's okay man , they have batted brilliantly together, besides we need some overs from Mulder maybe a good thing he can rest a bit before the innings concludes

    A maiden test 50 for Mulder that must be a huge relief for the lad , this is great for SA cricket if Verreynne can become a no.6 and Mulder a No.7 then all of a sudden we have some decent batting depth when Marco Jansen comes back at no.8 , and they all at good ages too.

    100 partnership and a 100 run lead ! Phew we can relax a bit now , firmly in control of this test

    Both have things in common I suppose , both around the same age , both highly rated as potential superstars in domestic cricket , both have kinda struggled for consistency but it seems to be coming together now and long may it continue.

    The lead is over 50, been a good partnership between these two

    The saddest for me is Harmer .. For 20 odd years we battled in international cricket with bang average redball spinners , had Harmer been a cricketer from the 90's he would have played 100+ test matches.. I believe he is nearing 1000 FC wickets now.

    Oh no Jack was a freaking nightmare ,but sadly very injury prone..We had a few like that in the 90's but he was my favorite in the domestic scene

    I would say it's our day in theory , but we are batting last and anything under 100 for a lead, the Bangladeshis will believe they can skittle us for 150 in the 4th innings

    I know modern teams are sensitive, but I reckon the batting group deserve a good telling off from the bowlers .. The West Indies was the same story. Had Piedt and Burger not put on a decent partnership in one of the Test matches we would have not won the series. Bowlers are constantly asked...
