  • Oh dear. Hales holes out to the spinner at long on. He has two gears but simply doesn't know which ball to use which gear to.

    48-2 and a lead of 137

    Compton 11* (42)
  • Elgar drops Compton - a sitter at slip
  • That was a dolly.
  • de Villiers just dropped Root on 6. Lets hope he makes them pay!
  • 58-2 at tea for a lead of 147
  • Can you imagine how weak this SA team will be if both ABV and Steyn retire?

    Just over three years ago SA had Smith, Amla (an in form one too), ABV, Kallis, Boucher and Steyn in the side. In fact only Duminy and Morne Morkel will remain from that side.

    That sort of shot that is perfect ammunition for those who say that he's a T20/ODI player, perfect for powerplays when you need to slog, but without the mindset to play Test cricker

    Just over 30 years ago we had Botham, Gooch, Gower, Gatting, Lamb etc at the peak of their game.........

  • Bollocks.

    Only 45 minutes into my days work and now I have to be productive.

    Thanks England :-(
  • You will all expect me to say it so I'm not going to disappoint.

    Where's KP when you need him?
  • On the subject of great cricketers, I bought Seb for Christmas Joe Root's book. A fine role model for him to follow.

    What do you think my sister did? She only gave Seb a signed copy - of KP's autobiography. I think they call that "karma".
