This is what i fear as well. 330-340 is a good score. I feel SA have to absolutely pile it on it in the first innings because I don't think we'll be making too many in the second dig.
Would be awesome if the West Indies somehow drew with South Africa.
Taylor can be world-class if he pitches it well. Gabriel looks a bit threatening and times and Holder is raw but he can bowl hostile spells. Like you said, I'm just a tad worried about the slight chance of a collapse in the first innings. The cracks in the pitch will likely help the Windie bowlers in the fourth innings as well.
I absolutely think it's possible. Taylor's bowling piss in this series, but if he gets it right, he can bowl a team out on his own. SA aren't a phenomenal batting lineup anymore either. They're pretty heavily reliant on Amla and AB.
Elgar, du Plessis, and van Zyl have all made tons this series and averaging over 50. They seem to be doing fine. BTW, I do agree it's possible, but seriously its really unlikely. I think the WI attack will be doing really good if they can stop SA's lead to under 50.
2 five wides + a random one I guess.
Yeah that's what happened. Seemed a fairly obvious tactic to bowl short to Elgar. The two wides which went for 5 (man I hate that rule, they should be 4 runs, not 5) were way too short though.
Yep. Doesn't have much pace, but boy, he's had Amla and AB in all sorts of trouble. Could've had a couple more wickets with a bit more luck.
