He was sweating buckets, huffing and puffing. One can only assume what is his yo-yo test score is.

I did one of those tests and ended up spending a night in hospital

What I can assume is that it’s super humid out there. And every time Lungi runs in; his man boobs oscillates at an optimal frequency.

This match is gonna end like an episode of RAW in the Attitude Era.

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Bloody hell a match has broken out!

 

[CartyDurham]

Off topic but Tom Cruise has just jumped off a stadium roof in Paris Now he’s nicked the Olympic flag and driven off on a motor bike through the streets of gay Paris, onto a plane and then parachute down to LA with the flag

simples

Jason Holder pulls up a trick

 

[CartyDurham]

Draw unbackable now unless you have a spare 100 grand lying around

 

[Heboric]

WTF Bavuma thats way to early . Very Beta

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That’s a moral victory for us

 

[CartyDurham]

Nothing wrong with a draw for the West Indies.

Hopefully they play a bit better in the next test

just had a Cricinfo alert giving Maharaj motm

Is Jason Holder the only batsman in test cricket history to end a match with a six?

Broad hit his last ball for a six, then took a wicket with his last ball of his career

Against Australia though so it wasn’t that special *

 

[Northerner]

Ngidi is unfit

Agreed, he never looks fit, ok for ODIs and T20s , but lacks that bit of zest and venom for test cricket, what are the odds for Burger and Piedt replacing Mulder and Ngidi for the 2nd test,

All the top 6 managed to get in, only Athanaze passed 42, England away was always going to be a challenge as they’d played such little long-format cricket, and they got away with it here with the weather playing havoc, but they really must start making big scores

Steyn bopped Shami over long on.

Cool, need more instances of this happening

Will you provide what test match # that occurred in?

 

[Beamer]

Now that was a far better batting performance. I feel we're at our best when the run rate is between 3.5 and 4, it seems a good rhythm for us. At Lords and in the first innings here we blocked ourselves into a hole. They should use that as a template moving forward.

Also good to see a proper, high class test match innings from Athanaze. Didn't think any of our guys had it in them, so that cheered me up.

The reality is we lose without rain though, so we need to do this in the first innings in the second test. Oh and please play Shamar, that pace attack was too slow.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

I feel we have to select a better bowling attack in Guyana , at times it felt like we were only using two bowlers to pick up wickets ..

Drop Rickelton, move Mulder to no.6 .. Get Piedt in there and I'd drop Ngidi for Burger.

3 seamers , 2 spinners

I honestly wouldn't even consider Mulder's bowling. They must just decide who the better batsman between Rickelton and Mulder is and go with him at 6.

Then it must be Rickelton. Is Mulder's bowling really that poor? Or not of sufficient quality to be considered when balancing the team?
