*** Official *** Sri Lanka in South Africa, Nov 27 to Dec 9 2024

[Prince EWS]

He was 9 not out in his last innings.

It's a silly theory, can it.

 

[Bahseph]

Yeah it's a weird one either way. Perhaps it's a minor fracture and he knows he won't be playing the next match or the Pakistan series? Wanted to give it a go to help the team make the WTC final.

Maybe Mulder missed the entire SL innings and thinks he's just gone to resume his first innings knock?

He could have done that tomorrow in his usual batting position though?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

SA’s lead is 222

[King Kane]

That looks out.

He could be forgiven for thinking that, he might have taken a dump and missed it.

 

[Prince EWS]

Gonna be so funny if Mulder scores a big ton at 3 with a broken finger now and forges an excellent career at #3 as a result.

You jinxed him.

 

[FBU]

Jansen 6.5-1-13-7

At least Stubbs is into double figures..

 

[Stefan9]

Disappointing for markram to get out. Worked hard to get to 47 then threw it away.

 

[TT Boy]

de Swardt for Mulder.

Working very hard. Same zero fluency he had since the Windies series and looked vulnerable against Jayasuriya. Positive is he is scoring some runs just nothing substantial.

It might be worse in the morning. Swelling can increase over time, which will cause more pain, and the inflammatory response has just started to kick in. I would also assume he was on something while batting, which helped, plus the adrenaline.

 

[Spark]

Test batting is in a hell of a state right now

 

[CartyDurham]

Missed today but was this down to a dodgy pitch, excellent bowling or rank bad batting ?

 

[sayon basak]

We’ve all been here before. Only way is up!

I've never been been there.

Batting, at least from the time they were 3 down when I started watching. Not much movement off the surface or in the air, and true bounce.

 

[the big bambino]

Tony de Zorzi........ should surely be a Mafia boss not a cricketer with a name like that!!

Needs a nickname. Fat Tony de Zorzi.

It stinks. Yet give them 400 to chase and they have a better chance than anytime in history.

 

[sayon basak]

Nice fielding effort.
