yoh, things just got tough.

Hopefully Bavuma pulls through.

Warren: "Bavuma has what it takes to play Test cricket, and this should be the ideal situation for him to prove his worth. Having said that, I feel it was a bit unfair for Van Zyl to have to open instead of batting at 5, where he did so well against the Windies. Perhaps Stephen Cook, who is a natural opener, has a great domestic career and was the leading scorer of the Sunfoil competition, should have been in the squad given the chance to open."

Kevin: "Agree with Warren. Andrew Puttick, Stephen Cook and Rilee Rossouw are consistent performers in the Sunfoil Series and they all could have opened instead of van Zyl. Van Zyl did look good in this in this innings but he is better off in the middle order."

MrGarreth: "I feel Riley should be opening. Has batted in the top 3 in FC cricket for all of his career and a very dynamic player to compliment the more cautious Elgar. Not too dissimilar from Warner-Rogers."

All the professors of cricket come out the woodwork when the pressure is on the team :p

Make that three in four balls. South Africa slide to 173 for 6.

This is becoming a farce! At this rate we could be batting last.

QdK looks horribly out of form to be playing back to such a full delivery

Just the bowlers to come. We'll be lucky to make 200 now, nevermind 250. Bavuma has stuck it out admirably but I can't see him shepparding the tail to a competitive total. Batsmen have dropped the ball. Up to our bowlers to drag us back into this one (both when they bowl as well as trying to add some useful runs).

QdK IS horribly out of form, and has been so for that last year and 1/2.
