It's not easy mate. Few of us can handle it. Just got to work hard with the gifts you're given.

All the best in your endeavours,

Yeah people who don't play the game wouldn't know how many extra hours he would need to put into his game.

Elite batsmen who also has about 300 wickets. Every day having to warm up as a batsman and a bowler. Having to work on both aspects at training. And a slipper which requires specialty training as well. It's amazing.

If Kallis starts placing these then this could be crazy fun, he's just trying to murder every single ball he faces from Bopara

I think in this game South Africa has had the rub of the green and by far the better batting conditions.

It's a shame so many of the England batsmen gave their wickets away so easily. I hope they don't do it again in the second innings. Perhaps a repeat of the last Ashes Test at the Gabba - that'll do it!
