We are no match for the Aus test bowlers.

@I.am.Sam

yeah they are toooo strong

and the pitches working for them

 

[Neoprod]

Batted 2 days and only lost 5 wickets...easy game this.

 

[stefan9]

Bavuma played. Rickelton looked good and gave it away

 

[Creag]

Honestly, I can handle losing, but this feels like we are throwing things

We don't have a single batsman in that side with a 40 avg or better. Smith has almost double the amount of test runs than our entire side. Let that sink in

 

[wallace1]

Smith has almost double the amount of test runs than our entire side

That is just incorrect

We've played better than last match...we threw that first game so we could only get better from there. Good signs for Newlands

 

[Heisenborg]

That is just incorrect

you are right its incorrect.

Current SA 11 total test runs 12 436
Steve Smith on his own 10 972

 

[bwana]

98 overs scheduled for today… the weather may even cooperate.

Still a crazy stat the Smith avearges almost the same as our entire team... Current line up is probably our best team would maybe just drop Bedigham for Pretorious / Brewis as they are clearly the future and we are already rebuilding so might aswell go all in and do a proper batting rebuild.

Any idea why not more ? We have lost over 140 overs and they will only make up about 24 overs over the next 3 days

 

[Binary_Bark]

The way the Artichokes are going, that's more than enough overs

 

[stefan9]

Wiaan out for 13. Played the short ball very poorly

Non pay tv channels not wanting to go more over time. Plus lazy players and umps.

 

[WaxLyrical]

How many wickets fell to unplayable deliveries?
Not many im sure.

 

[Creag]

bounced out? Umpire says no. Australia opt for DRS. 144kph nasty from Starc. After all those freebies that Mulder could just let go, could just switch off, this one bangs into the middle of the pitch on leg stump and almost gathers pace off it. Mulder is caught in the crease, not knowing what to do, his hands come up for a shot, then he decides to duck, in the end he's just all crampled up and UltraEdge seems to suggest the ball bounces off the glove through to first slip.

Sounds like another clueless blunder.

the aussies line and lenght been good and they also bowl a good short body ball

 

[I.am.Sam]

dammit is aussies get us out soon and bat till tomorrow tea

we lose

I am not sure you find many batsman these days getting out to unplayable deliveries in test cricket in general.
