My major concern isn't that we're 6 down. My concern is that I think Morkel and Steyn have bowled exceptionally well. Sure there have been some ****ty dismissals (Sehwag, Gambhir and Raina) but the pitch is merely good for bowling. Not a minefield by any stretch of the imagination. Steyn and Morkel have made it look worse.

300 is probably par. Hopefully we can scrape to 200.

The advantage of being a tailender rather than a top-order batsman on these kind of wickets against bowling of this quality is that it's usually too good to get the edge... so you can only get out bowled or LBW.

So does the fact that I always get out caught behind just make me a really ****house opening batsman rather than the tailender I really think I am? :ph34r:

Haha I was being facetious. How often have we seen tailenders scrape a few together after the main batsmen have looked all at sea? Just a half-baked explanation of sorts for that.
