[sand_man]

Is opening batter the toughest job in cricket? I've always felt it is. Definitely the toughest batting position..

It generally is but if you’re a test quality opener playing Zim on a flat deck with the sun out should be one of the easiest days in your test career. Just imagine what a peak Smith and Gibbs would do to these Zim bowlers on a day like today.

Senokwane gone for 3. Too defensive for my liking.

Depends where you bat. Its the best spot in the sub continent but very difficult in the rest of the world where the new ball is hard to face.

50 for captain Mulder. Well played.

 

[RunningFromFat]

Great partnership but poor from zim.

 

[stefan9]

Well played bedders. Good 50.

 

[stefan9]

Well played wiaan. Third test ton.

If anyone is curious, this is the song they play on DSTV when advertising other sporting events.

 

[Gudnews]

Captain Mulder has a nice ring to it.

 

[stefan9]

Sigh. Bedders misses out on 100. Lbw for 82.

Captain Mulder has a nice ring to it.

And he seems to live on that balanced equilibrium. Not too up or down.

 

[stefan9]

Good 50 for Pretorius.

 

[stefan9]

Well played wiaan. Test double ton.

 

[stefan9]

Pretorius gone for 78.

 

[stefan9]

250 for wiaan after he survives a no ball wicket.

 

[Werner1975]

Great 1st day for the Proteas. Well done to Mulder on his 264* - hope he can carry on.

 

[Raphael123]

I hope he gets to 300

 

[stefan9]

Wiaan breaks Graeme's record for highest score as SA captain.

 

[stefan9]

Brevis gone for 30.
