BTW.Temba isn't the only recent captain with a pair as captain. Both faf and ab also has that distinction.

He might be the only one in his debut game as captain

Carnage!!

Have not been able to watch the coverage... Is the pitch a pit of vipers or is this more down to good bowling/bad batting?

I'm not watching but if we're discussing SA and WI, I'm betting on bad batting

A healthy dose of all above Not quite viper level, but definitely some interesting shots... on both sides

Imo... the pitch is a bit below par.... not unplayable.. just not a 4.5 or 5 day pitch

 

[Luke7777]

So glad we batted 1st

Interesting stat on Cricinfo :
Batsmen 2-8, from Elgar to Jansen contributed a total of 23 runs--3rd lowest total ever in an innings for South Africa. Lowest is 20 vs Eng 1899 followed by 21 vs Aus in 1932.

No there are 3 others. Mark Taylor,Rashid Latif and habibul bazhar. He is the first South African.

We need some wickets. Blackwood is looking good.

Did the pitch just crumble on day 2

Blackwood is standing strong and that is concerning. The rest seem to be tumbling for now.

If he had left that one... it would've been sitting wedged in his visor

Big win for South Africa. I really expected WI to bat a lot longer. Pity for them.
