Not the usual 30 degree days in CT but with the wind and weather build up I think so too.

I think the groundskeeper said they are only allowed to water the outfield twice a week?

I assume he watered it for he last two days, I wonder how much water it will get the next 5 days?

They have rarely if ever had all their bowlers & ab available thought. So not sure how much one can read into past selections.

Played 7-4 in Australia in the first test in 2016 when they had their first choice pace attack available and also 7-4 vs New Zealand in the home series before that.

Anyone from here at the ground today?

Thats what I read too.

We had rain last Sunday and there are Scattered showers due this Sunday for the whole day.

Gavaskar talking about scoring at a fast clip to get noticed by IPL teams... In a Test match.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Saffers batting first

 

[Shri]

Go get 'em Bhuv.

 

[SeamUp]

Everything we could have asked for.

I think both teams will be happy.

SA picked the correct team...... fantastic. 5 bowlers 6 bats....

We all called for it but I'm still nervous as it is super risky and brave.

But very happy.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Everyone playing 5 bowlers

 

[SeamUp]

Bumrah though !

It is the attacking team, the best players we could pick. Hopefully they gone on and do us proud.

How bad is the Rahane injury?

 

[Black_Warrior]

I'm so nervously emotional that I don't want to feel happy until I see the team officially on TV and see the name I've been wanting to see. There have been times over the last year when I felt I would never see Dale Steyn in whites again

Played 7-4 in Australia in the first test in 2016 when they had their first choice pace attack available and also 7-4 vs New Zealand in the home series before that.

Didn't have ab for either of those. So not the comfort of of a top 6 all averaging 40+.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Steyn f yeah!

 

[Niall]

Wait they have dropped there batsman outside Asia?

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Bumrah ahead of Ishant and Yadav? Interesting.

Good that him and Hardik are playing.
