Perhaps the declaration was already significantly delayed for Mulder's sake. There's a wider problem of absurdly illogical declarations against minnows – take these examples:

The mentality of "we've got enough boys, let's go home early and make space for a round on the links" is rampant. Time at the batting crease is very valuable, especially for lower-order batters; it shouldn't be tossed for a dumb declaration.

The Saffers are really getting stuck into the Zim boys. Of course I get super defensive of Zim so I find it a bit mean spirited but this is supposed to be a test match.

I think there is a bit of needle after not congratulating Lhuan-dre for his 100 last test match and then Matigimu chucking the ball at him & hitting him which effected his batting afterwards.

What are you talking about Zim never do anything like that they are the victims of world cricket, everybody conspires to **** them over.

And if it did happen it was totally justified and the Saffers had it coming.

I think the vibe has been relatively okay between the two teams but the throwing of the ball was so unnecessary I think it ruffled feathers.

Watching Sen bowl really underlines just how good Kesh is. There is a significant difference in their control of line, drift and length. Still a handy cricketer to have around.

I mean he didn't deserve any applause for not walking for smashing the leather off one.

I get somewhat ironic when my avatar never walked either, but I didn't agree with that too.

You are right with the walking off , but he's also the youngest in the team and of course the guys are going to have something to say after what Matigimu did.
