Yeah, I was impressed.
Leie is probably a better long-term option than Phangiso (I think Phangiso is also already into his 30s anyway).

leie is skiddy and got the zip. kinda weird bowling action
if duminy can turn the ball like that and drop in those good channels like he's been doing these games, he's becoming a legit 5th option for SA

Did anyone watch this game?
What's your opinion on Rabada? It's difficult to get much of a picture from a few seconds of highlights. There are a couple of articles on cricinfo written prior to this and they almost make it sound like Steyn had better hurry up and step aside for the good of the team. I somehow doubt this performance will shut hyperbole down, but to what degree is it hyperbole? Not trying to detract from the achievement -or the one Marius mentions(!!!)-, just get a picture: to look at him are these great performances, or the makings of a great player?
The last time I saw this type of excitement over a bowler was Cummins, and I didn't think it was hype. Watching him bowl, I was pretty sure he was a 400 wicket low 20s bowler. Only 6 1st class games is a huge disappointment, although it's fair to blame this on body, not ability.

BD is thouroughly outplayed so far. Hopefully it will be a good contest today.

Behardian consolidating a bit here. These runs are crucial. This will be a close match. Pitch looks about it has got something for every type of bowlers. Tinge of green on the surface. Good carry and bounce. Spinners got those odd balls turning.
