Sri Lanka tour of South Africa, Dec 2016 - Feb 2017

Parnell is getting it through...De Kock is taking them shoulder high.

He's always been fast. Waywardness is the perpetual issue with him.

 

[Neoprod]

^, yeah...he looks good today though. Not straining in his run-up, looks smooth. Hope he gets a few...we could use a quick left arm bowler who can more than bat a bit.

Some rain forecast for this weekend so hope we actually get to see the result! What a great partnership by Amla and Dumminy though. Great test cricket. Still, the Sri Lankan's look dead out there. Some really basic dropped catches that have made it so much easier for us.

From the weather reports looks like only thunderstorm so shouldn't be an issue as they are actually playing on a ground which actually drains (unlike kingsmead...)

Actually you're right.

Jeez Bavuma is out of depth at the moment. No contributions whatsoever over the last few tests

Out of depth is the wrong word...He is terribly out of form atm. Not a good time for it either with ab almost 100% back for the NZ tour.

Bavuma gotta be dropped. He is badly out of form. Let Toyana sort him out

Some time in the Sunfoil series might sort him out, for sure.

His average for this series is 4.1 or something like that.

Give the boy a break. At this stage in his career he averages better than Jacques Kallis.

I would certainly drop Bavuma if he fails when we really need him. That's the mark of a top test cricketer.

Kallis greatest innings was the 100 he made against a rampant Australia, as a 22 year old, to save the test. The rest is history.

KG asking questions as the lights come on. Still 37 overs remaining.

I thought people with unibrows had sticky fingers? :twisted:

If only. So close to his maiden wicket.

 

[Creag]

Just as I was thinking the stand here needs a wicket to spice it up, KG obliges

62/3

 

[Dan C]

Nice KG

 

[Dan C]

And another ... 4 down

Is that Hash in the background behind the trees?! :wtf:

I was looking for a live score I could follow that was not blocked at work. I came across yahoo cricket. It's actually pretty nice and not blocked.

Espn CricInfo also blocked?

Batsmen are playing for time. Light has started to go.
