South Africa won the toss and decided to bat

119/5 - Poor start.

Seeing AB is the only batsmen doing well today: Do u guys think it's a problem of SA batsmen not playing positive cricket liek the other teams are doing or they are just lacking skills?
 
Who's idea was to put Hall at the top of the order when u can have a guy like Dippenaar to tire the bowlers by blocking as he usually does, or have AB opening with Gibbs?
 
Sorry, 163 opening vs India. Probably a tossup between him and Boeta, with the bowling ability winning thru. Would've liked to play both, but no one else to leave out. I'll have AH in *any* team, btw

Hmmm, Rudolph just put one down :(
 
Hall is just not technically suited to opening the batting in test cricket.
 
They played bloody ****!! :mad:
AB was the only guy that indicated he knew how to hold a bat, and swing it as well.
The rest is a bunch of ...... Our captain got 1!!! :eek:
 
It's a sad week to be a South African supporter in just about all sports

Our bowlers are taking some punishment!
 
I'm gald that the Proteas are prominent in helping Sri Lanka set up a world record for the 3rd wicket. With a little effort they will be able to assist them in setting up a record for the largest test match win.
