He was under 30 at the very start as he got a Michelle on debut, went over 30 in his 7th test until now.

Sky only a mere four years behind Channel 9's technology.

Have to say Amla is such a better player than the one he was on debut. Credit to him for basically reinventing his technique after being found wanting, takes some character and ability to do that. Reckon he will do well this series.

Don't know how we've missed all the rain in this game, seems to have passed just around the ground on every occasion. It listened...

Jacknife · 20-07-2012, 08:41 AM

Oh close to playing that on.

Yes it did - and it was very brief indeed.

I think Broad's might have done so as well. Again, very briefly.

Yeah TB D1 I think.

Jacknife · 20-07-2012, 08:42 AM

Defo not swinging as much.

benchmark00 · 20-07-2012, 08:43 AM

Is Amla observing Ramadan or does he get allowances because of his job?

Spark · 20-07-2012, 08:43 AM

Hash

Almost the only batsman this series I want to do well.

Why do you say that?

NasserFan207 · 20-07-2012, 08:44 AM

Yeah Amla is classy, proper no 3.

Jacknife · 20-07-2012, 08:46 AM

The first few over by Anderson he got the ball swinging pretty well, you'd have thought it would swing even more once the lacquer had been knocked off but that's not the case so far.

Ruckus · 20-07-2012, 08:47 AM

The patience and technique of someone like Amla is pretty admirable...so many of our batsmen could take a leaf out of his book
