this channel 7 half time show is like a bunch of school kids in front of a green screen

Stunning and brave from RSA

 

[Twizzle]

Junior and even Smithy having a bit of a whinge about the pitch and 2 days test match, Head didn't seem to have a problem with it.

It's not our fault if the Saffas cant bat. Sick of seeing 500+ first innings scores and drawn matches. OK it might be a tad green but it's been great to watch.

Agree. Test match cricket is about adapting to playing conditions and your opposition.
The 2nd innings from SA has showed they failed to both. Zondo and Bavuma have at least tried though and 1 or 2 others got balls that would have got anyone out IMO.

Guess they’ll give the pitch a ‘poor’ rating, but no idea what to call RSA’s batting

After that post from @SLRBRONCOS yesterday, every time they put Warner on the screen YMCA starts going through my head

Everytime I see Warner on screen this is what I see:

 

[Hutty1986]

[Fangs]

Alright how many will Warner get? I'm gonna say zero and he gets a pair.

Fantastic bowling from the dreamboat.

 

[westerntiger]

Single figure run chase

 

[hineyrulz]

69 dude!!

 

[Bazal]

Worst SA batting lineup I've ever seen

 

[Bazal]

Haha Zondo, give the number 11 five rocks from Starc you pelican

 

[AlwaysGreen]

SA are playing 5 batters, a keeper and 5 bowlers.

Of the top 5 Elgar is the only test class player atm.

Jansen is the worst number 7 I've ever seen and I support the raiders so I know how bat a number 7 can get.

These are the ICC pitch ratings:

Very Good, Good, Average, Below Average, Poor, Unfit.

I would give this a Below Average. Probably a bit too green and the fact it's leaving slight divots marks is a little concerning.

Ngidi must owe Zondo money

Only explanation for him taking the single off the first ball of the over

Warner sweating bullets as the run chase approches double digits

 

[Bazal]

[This Year?]
