[Daemon]

Reifer and Chase at 3 and 5 somehow working is one I’d have never picked

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Good adjustment from Chase...he's letting the ball come to him

He is 22... needs lots more work on a few aspects. (Same as Jansen) But looks really good and has a great attitude and lots of fire; can't ask for more at such a young age. Why I love him in the setup early, will improve quickly.

Every SA lover of cricket should love the thought of Coetzee, Rabada, Nortje, Jansen steaming in.

Whois the stock bowler though? though Ngidi was doing that role and before Vern. Unless the spinner will do that while other 4 just attack.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I really love the positive running between the wickets from these two

That's why the condition dependent circumstances becomes important. Either you have Maharaj as a stock bowler with 3 pacers. Or else you play the 4 pacers and someone like Muthusamy/Linde as an additional stock bowler, or maybe Mulder, 3 pacers and Maharaj. The point is right now they need to nail down that 7 position. Its probably the most crucial decision to get sorted because it dictates the team bowling options and long term selection.

 

[StephenZA]

And this position SA finds itself in is why I never like going into a test without a spinner... even at Centurion.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

2 in 2

Cue the collapse

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

One brings two ,We are in control now ..270th test wicket for KG

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

6 down! Silva cuts Nortje straight to the fielder at point, fell for the trap but that's what pace does ...In comes Holder ...Holder and Mayers is gonna be fun to watch

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Doesn't matter cause Nortje bags Holder , it's all kicking off on the last session, West Indies on the calypso collapso

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

169/3 -- 179/7

10/4 in 2.4 overs

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

This is embarassing

I think Mulder may be better batter with the new ball as it comes on than old ball and spinners.

I feel like the previous regime would have just went with 5 pace bowlers and not even included a Muthusamy/Linde type. I absolutely hate 5 seamers.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Kyle Mayers reminds me of an old West Indian batsman when he goes on the pull , i forgot his name ..Roy something..

 

[Dendarii]

I think they tended to pick Maharaj. The problem was that they probably also went with four seamers, none of whom could be classified as an allrounder.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Smashed ! Mayers smokes a pull for six , could he do a Kusal Perera ?

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

5 for Nortje gets the dangerous Mayers ,beast of a fast bowler

 

[WpGuy]

They tried pretorius than mulder than jansen at 7.
