[Spark]

did Clarke comment on whether he would have bat or not?

Definitely a bat first pitch tbh. No bounce and not that much movement even with the overcast weather.

Dangerous. Fielder getting in Harris' way in his follow through while fielding the ball. Risky.

 

[benchmark00]

Holy ****, play that.

 

[Shri]

Ooh. Almost 3 down.

 

[Johnners]

Great start.

What's this about Philander, is he playing or not?

 

[benchmark00]

I like the short ball against Francois.

 

[Garson007]

I still think this match will be a draw, but not great so far.

 

[benchmark00]

This pitch really should suit Faf.

 

[Garson007]

I like the short ball against Francois.

Are you on first name terms with him, you ****?

 

[Second Spitter]

Great start.

What's this about Philander, is he playing or not?

Yes, he is. Had a "niggle" bowling in the morning.

 

[Garson007]

This pitch really should suit Elgar.

FTFY. This is really the type of pitch Elgar scores his runs on and it's many.

 

[benchmark00]

How's the rig.

 

[benchmark00]

Are you on first name terms with him, you ****?

I actually used to go to school with him, so yes.

 

[Shri]

Yes, he is. Had a "niggle" bowling in the morning.

Funny how he has them before tests start on dead pitches. Hope Warner rips into him throughout the game.

 

[Garson007]

I actually used to go to school with him, so yes.

You're AB De Villiers?

 

[benchmark00]

You on nickname basis with Abraham are you?

 

[Hooksey]

Great start.

What's this about Philander, is he playing or not?

Had a late fitness test just prior to play apparently. May be part of the reason Smith chose to bat first. Therefore allowing Philander more time to get fully right.

 

[Garson007]

you on nickname basis with abraham are you?

 

[Garson007]

Ohhhhh, some seam. Hopefully Philander has something to work with.
