Lol nearly failed... but well done JP 20 odd runs Duminy.
Hales' best knock of the series came when he was extremely circumspect on the Cape Town featherbed. Perhaps Hales in Compton mode could go a long way to saving the game.Hales should go for it and rest block. Hales won't survive blocking and him scoring quickly could put pressure onto SAs and get some catchers away from the bat.
Problem for Hales is regardless what he does he must not fail... If he goes for it loses his wicket early, people will say he should have blocked, and if he blocks and gets out, people will say he should have gone for it... so all he has to do is not fail and English supporters will be happy.Hales' best knock of the series came when he was extremely circumspect on the Cape Town featherbed.

Don't think they need to tell him. He always tries to play aggressively.I didn't see that one coming this side of 3 figures.
Hopefully de Kock is under instructions to enjoy himself out there.
Though I agree this is what 'people' will think, it is not necesarily what Trevor B thinks. Maybe he will indeed ask from Hales what 91JMay suggested. And forgive him if he gets out slogging for hardly anything.Problem for Hales is regardless what he does he must not fail...

Looking at weather forecast I can see going off for light sometime soon after 5, definitely won't make it till 6 thus max 25 overs left in the day at this stage. Will start early tomorrow though...
From an outsiders point of view I think that he should definitely be given another series.... but I was one of the people who thought we should stick with van Zyl and S.Cook proved me totally wrong. So what do I know...Though I agree this is what 'people' will think, it is not necesarily the what Trevor B thinks. Maybe he will indeed ask from Hales what 91JMay suggested.

They really should have got a wriggle on earlier.Rain on the way apparently.
I'm prepared to give you some credit. Must do so, given you have RPF as your avatar.So what do I know...
