We are in trouble here. In like 1 hour or so WI cleaned up 4 wickets.

Hmm, not too worried. WI will struggle to chase 220.

The batting performance we've become accustomed to.

Welcome back boys - you gave a scare in the first innings - made us think you're going to score too much.

Both SA and WI have a better bowling side than batting on this pitch.

 

[Pegging]

It’s a pity we lost 4 nightwatchmen, but we will be fine with 150 or so.

How did Aiden who's been struggling score 100?

 

[L-Dog]

We are still too fragile. There is still no confidence in our batting.

Not one player has an average in the 40s or higher.. Need to give Janaman Malan or some more young guns a shot. Also not sold on Klaasen for test cricket (although his form is great) would have stuck with Verynne. I geuss our saving grace is our tail looks long.

Cricket is a funny thing. Anything can happen. You can be bowled out for a duck or score a century on a good or bad day. Wait !! ask Bavuma he knows.

Proteas back with a poor batting display

Rickelton can also play WK, AFAIK.

These constant batting collapses are becoming too prominent in our team. The batting coach has got his work cut out all right. You can't always expect the bowlers to win games for you.

It's going to take time for new management to try and fix the batting issues. We will need to have patience. The lack of tests won't help either.

How did Aiden who's been struggling score 100?

Aiden came in on the back of decent form towards the end of the SA20. Ja, other format, but confidence is a big thing. I also like him opening.... he's a positive batter, but not a risk taker

 

[Agent_Smith]

Ugh

Holder to Klaasen, out Caught by Joshua Da Silva!! Loose shot from Klaasen and he pays the price! Just the start WI needed this morning. On a length outside off, Klaasen with minimal foot movement goes for a flashy drive but only manages to get a nick behind and Joshua Da Silva takes a regulation catch. Holder lets out a scream and he is overjoyed. The length was not quite up there to attempt such a shot and that has brought his downfall.

 

[Dan C]

And there goes Aiden.

69-6

SA lead by 199

 

[Agent_Smith]

Thanks goodness for that big first innings lead!

[L-Dog]

When extras is your 2nd highest scorer you know your batting is in trouble

 

[sand_man]

Very real possibility that we going to lose to the 8th ranked team, at home!! Not very good..

Probability​

RSA 68.6%

Draw 0.9%

WI 30.5%

I think our bowlers will save us with bat and then ball, chasing anythign over 250 will be difficult
