Lol another Philander/deKock review.

 

[CodeMaster]

That was the 3rd time Elgar carried bat, and only one in modern day cricket to manage the feat.

 

[AfricanTech]

Was in a hurry to get his runs and get back to his wife...

:crylaugh:

Those two are terrible at reviews

That's quite an indictment of the modern openers

"How did kg celebrate?? Did he shoulder badge him? Don't hold back now!" No, John. I don't think the match referee will be taking an interest... Although Warner did then appear to receive some abuse from a spectator as he was making his way back up the steps to the changing room, which isn't nice to see

Is SBW among the spectators?

 

[AfricanTech]

Run rate pegged back a bit now

 

[CodeMaster]

Oh well, did his job.

Has anything come from the ball tampering incident? There's nothing in the news anywhere about it, apart from that tweet...

Morkel is so slow in the field

Edit - not that anyone could of run that particular ball just now

 

[LBXAC20]

Anyone else see that clip of Rabada smacking AB across the face in warmup this morning! He's a menace I tell you :crylaugh: Will surely have to be investigated

 

[AfricanTech]

Out!

Khawaja gone trying to hook Morkel

Rabada takes it comfortably

 

[Creag]

Woot! Frigging Woot! And Morkel is 2 away from a legendary 300 poles

Proteas opener Dean Elgar has batted his way into Test cricket's record books in the third Test against Australia at Newlands in Cape Town.
Elgar equalled the record of legendary West Indian Desmond Haynes for carrying his bat on three occasions in Test cricket.

Joh, 148km/h in the pit... That's gotta hurt!

 

[Dan C]

Well 2 down going into lunch, not bad.

 

[stefan9]

Maybe a bit expensive but we will take 2 wickets.

 

[WaxLyrical]

Smith bats like he's got ants in his box.

Get Smith early we win because they need 400+ to take it away from us.

Well 2 down going into lunch, not bad.

Is it possible to call the session honours to either team - or is it shared?

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Is it possible to call the session honours to either team - or is it shared?

Ours IMO.

We lost 2 tailenders for 40-odd.

They lost 2 top order batsmen for 60-odd...
