Misbah flicking through the job classifieds page.

...and I thought the nightwatchman was there to protect the batsman, not the other way around.

 

[trundler]

Do SA take 15 wicket days with them wherever they go

 

[nightprowler10]

Ffs, can we go back to New Zealand? At least our failures there could be blamed on playing away.

Just saw that and had the same immediate thought. What would be the point in sending out a nightwatchman if you don't have them on strike?

Some of us have to work for a living you leach!

I'm just mad I slept through the bowling and woke up to watch this crap

SA were really fantastic with the ball in that mini-session. Not one loose delivery. Just brilliant stuff.

How did that light roller create so much chaos? Or will it settle down again tomorrow? SA quicks bowled hard lengths into the pitch I guess, Hasan Ali is the skiddier type and Afridi bowls fuller lengths.

 

[SeamUp]

Yeah I reckon hitting the pitch harder might have been reason for it.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah gotta remember that as good as the cricviz stats are, they are not measured off the pitch with no other event, it is based on what the ball does and it is as much a product of who is delivering it as any other factor.

Crazy first day of the Test. This match probably wont reach a fifth day, but if it did the spinners would probably be turning them at right angles. Looking forward to watching this match again today.

 

[BSM]

Didn't realise that Babar was now sponsored by Grey Nichols. Don't know why but it feels strange to see him using one of their bats.

 

[jimmy101]

On that note, QdK seems to have a bat range under his name with SS.
