It'll be sad to see this end so soon. Next test is only in August, against NZ in Durbs.

I think thats actually the problem hey... why don't we get more tests to play.

I heard the guys on the radio talking about it, England get 12 a year, we get 6

Idd we play to little test cricket.

Well done lads, finally brought a smile to our faces. Too little too late but atleast there is hope for the future.

Ja, agreed. I'm not up with the politics, but it does seem odd we don't have more tests.

...long wait for his next ball in test cricket. Definitely a trivia question for the future if he does get it.

I believe that hattricks don't carry over between matches, only innings. Definitely would've been a fun pub quiz question if it was the case.

a bowler taking a wicket off each of three consecutive deliveries that he bowls in a single match (whether in the same over or split up in two consecutive overs, or two overs in two different spells, or even spread across two innings of a test match or first-class cricket game).

So from the definition we can say that a Hat-Trick must be occur within a single match. It can not be spread across two matches. But it can, of course, be spread across the two innings of a double-innings match, such as a Test match.

11.10am: England didn't even make it to the drinks break. They might as well have run up the white flag before the start of play and given everyone a refund... They do, however, take the series, 2-1 after that crushing defeat. Kagiso Rabada confirms his arrival in the firmament by equalling South Africa's record Test match haul, held by Makhaya Ntini (and Hugh Tayfield)

Well done and especially to Rabada.
I hope he isn't a flash in the pan and that he doesn't get burnt out.

Why couldn't we have done this in all three matches??
