beautiful new ball bowling.

 

[Bazal]

LMAO Junior, the bloke who once said that he couldn't understand why batsmen don't just waltz down the deck and hit offspin as a concept into the nearest river, reckons this pitch is unfair.

STFU. There's runs in it if you play right. See T. Head, Rango Verreynne

 

[Bazal]

Great catch

This Earwig fella isn't much chop.

 

[Twizzle]

some catch from the Green Machine there

We're staring down the barrel of a two day test match here

 

[hineyrulz]

A fast games a good game i guess.

Boland is the modern day McGrath.
Come at me.

This Zondo bloke is wearing a mattress for a chest guard

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Bavuma has got the right idea, get a single off the first ball and then stand up the other end and let the other bloke do the work.

Well the other bloke has extra padding so theres that I guess.

 

[JJ]

Chappell full of brilliant insights as usual

[Hutty1986]

A decent partnership changes this massively. Won't want to be chasing any sort of score on this deck

 

[This Year?]

These two are seeing off the new ball nicely.

 

[Bazal]

Ugh. f**k up Kerry you melanoma looking merkin

This is probably the most recent comparison of what we are likely to see in this match.

It's going to be a short game, but i would much rather watch this than a Test where it s 700 plays 650 in the first innings

Things might be weighted in the bowlers favour but this is pretty exciting

 

[Bazal]

This South African batting lineup is insulting
