Well I think this will be a one-sided affair.

Well I think this will be a one-sided affair.

Na pak can definitely make a comeback if they pick early wickets with new ball. This pitch is road if pak bat well they can even win the game

@Kenneth Viljoen mate why do proteas give minefields when we tour and flat tracks when others tour? India always seem to get worst pitches when we tour sa

That tour of India 2014/2015 season , South African management took that personally.

 

[Heboric]

Congrats Temba and Ryan well batted.
Nice to see Newlands pitch behaving, unlike last time...

I understand but in 2019 sa were given fair tracks and that might same when you guys tour here in October as our batsmen suck on turning pitches

Last time was sa gifted the match to india by prepareing lottery pitch. Only good thing is that pitch bought bumrah into form which he continued throughout the year after medicore bowling effort in centurion

Looks like the American intern at Sky has found the new social media log-in details

Really pleased for Bavuma, he's really slugged it out in the past few years and that run without a ton didn't reflect his efforts or ability. 3 in 12 innings now though.

 

[Stefan9]

Saim ruled out of the test. Guess that means Babar is opening.

Feel sorry for saim. wish him speedy recovery

Excellent performances by Bavuma and Rickleton, good to see Bavuma now converting 50s in to 100s, the pitch doesnt offer much, hopefully Maharaj can come in to play, its hard toil for the seamers, if they can get 500 plus scoreboard pressure can play a part too,

I was too chicken to state my opinion on Jamal immediately after the Australia series, but I don't see him being successful long term. He took wickets by bowling the odd unplayable delivery amongst absolute junk. The problem is that if he's not getting wickets he's letting the pressure off. And he's not really an allrounder, more of a decent no. 8.

I get why you wouldn't want to state this when he was by far our best bowler in Australia, but yeah I do agree. I think Khurram might actually have a higher ceiling.

David B gone early to Abbas

 

[Prince EWS]

David B gone early to Abbas

Might be his career.

Well played Ryan. Double ton, long time since we had one.

Well played Ryan. Double ton, long time since we had one.

Get yourself in and score big. What you really want from an international player. Well played.

Looking forward to Sky recognising Rickelton's quadruple fifty
