[trundler]

Excellent ploy from Megamind. Dumb shot though.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Soft as ****.

 

[SeamUp]

Yeah, somehow we need to bat into first session tomorrow but first aim is avoid the follow on.

Ashwin will be a tough contest for QdK.

 

[trundler]

A typically anticlimactic, joyless finger spin dismissal.

 

[StephenZA]

Nice innings from Elgar. Now to make it a big one.

 

[mr_mister]

Great innings but if there was ever a time when a player needed to start again and double it this is it. Celebration was almost as if it was a six to win a match. Hope he doesn't lose concentration

 

[SeamUp]

Played Deano. Test 100 number 12. Think it is fair to say he has a reputation in domestic cricket for big 100s. Probably hasn't quite done that at test level yet bar v Bangers.

SA Test Match 100s (Most) all modern era

Kallis 45
Amla 28
Smith 27
De Villiers 22
G.Kirsten 21
Cullinan 14
Gibbs 14
Elgar 12*

Slow bail dislodge there

It's stunning how far ahead Kallis is of Amla and de Villiers.

What a nuggety innings. So gritty.

Running out of superlatives ?

This Labuschagnes brother plays rugby for Japan thing is how Mandela effect begins

 

[SeamUp]

**** jinxes. De Kock is about ready for the peak form of his career.

I will so come and smack you if this goes wrong...

 

[mr_mister]

And QDK bowled hoiking across the line

(we have a faster stream in aus than SA)

 

[SeamUp]

Reverse Reverse psychology. Believe in the quality. Anything less than 50 is a failure.

 

[StephenZA]

It must be pretty demoralising for somebody like Ishant to not be given the new ball considering how well he has bowled today. (And Shami)


.... great to see from QDK. Well done.

 

[weldone]

Superb batting from Elgar, QDK and Faf. They need to carry on though.

 

[harsh.ag]

Vihari getting the new ball ahead of Ishant what the hell
