South Africa vs West Indies at Dubai: Matchday thread; Early Game Tue 26/10

[BoyBrumby]

I’ve had haemorrhoids that were more pleasant than this Simmons innings

Proper test innings, tbf.

 

[Nintendo]

Simmonds a bit too passive after the 55 all out.

 

[morgieb]

Any white South African expressing skepticism over BLM should know a million times better. This is very disappointing from QdK.

 

[slippy888]

Simmons better off getting himself out now i think

 

[slippy888]

South Africa wont chase over 170 without DE KOCK for sure

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Just imagine if Simmons was going at a run a ball to go with Simmons' carnage.

 

[Heboric]

Any white South African expressing skepticism over BLM should know a million times better. This is very disappointing from QdK.

Any non-white person criticiising anyone who disagrees with the CSA stance should really get their facts right. South African government have no leg to stand on when it comes to things like BLM, absolutely zero

He wouldn't be ignorant of the message he's sending here. Needs to explain himself or he becomes a pariah.

Dunno brother, Bumble thought he could handle Jeff Thomson with DE KOCK and ended up in hospital.

People often overestimate what DE KOCK can do tbh

 

[Dendarii]

South Africa wont chase over 170 without DE KOCK for sure

They chased 186 in a match where he only scored 6.

Damn, Nicky P looks good

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

When a player comes in with intent like Pooran, run-scoring is easy. Now, Simmons, he's just not even trying. A dinosaur...

 

[Aritro]

Lendl gets his strike rate closer to the magic 50 mark.

It's been compelling, heart-wrenching viewing.

 

[The_roc]

So Simmons has been in for 12 overs and scored 15 singles off of 32 balls. Classic.

Whats the lowest score by an opening batsman that ended the innings not out?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I don't think we'll be getting many singles with this pair of Simmons and Gayle at the crease. We're *****d now, big time.

 

[Teja.]

Pretty sure morgieb is white.

There's been some criticism of him not doing anything in previous matches, and I think that South Africa is a bit at fault for not addressing it sooner. Some people are suggesting that this will be the end of his international career, and while I'm not so sure about that, there's going to need to be a hell of lot of damage control.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Yessssss!!!

Jinxed, what could've been a never-to-be-forgotten knock.

 

[Arachnodouche]

That's as bad as any innings I've seen in this format. Might be a few others but jeez that was painful watching.
