Myth...

Saying Rabada is a good 11 is dead right

It's when he bats any higher than that where the problem lies

Rabada's technique, coupled with his average and actual batting ability, is like when you put a Lada engine into a Rolls Royce.

 

[Marius]

Ahh fair enough then. Yeah Ngidi is one of the few remaining geniune 11s around in international cricket

Shamsi too.

I think this was the match. Australia went at 5.8 an over in their first innings.

Although it was at the Old Wanderers, not this ground.

Joburg is one of the few cities where Test cricket has been played on three grounds. Along with Old and New Wanderers some games were played at Ellis Park.

Someone chuck Roston in the bin ffs

 

[Bahseph]

That's some way to get out.

Sigh aiden

 

[flibbertyjibber]

What a plonker ?

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

And this is a clear example of how T20 has ruined some Test match players , after such hardwork in the heat to give away your wicket on 96 with some fancy paddle sweep .absolutely ridiculous.

 

[ashley bach]

Surely goes in the ''squandered tons'' category.

 

[trundler]

Playing a shot like that on 96* is motivated by the same sort of tendency that makes people get off on streaking. Would say the same about that dab between slips.

 

[ashley bach]

LOL comparing getting off on streaking and a cricket shot.

Probably about to jinx the man.... but I like de Zorzi and the look of him. Think he looks good and hopefully learns from this exposure to international cricket quickly.

He's looking pretty sound today. Reminds me a bit of Ashwell Prince.

This was put on another thread by Immenso before today ..Our conversion rate from 50 into 100 during our golden Era was 77% .
The last 6 years our conversion rate for the top 6 is at 29% , the worst out of the top 10 Test nations .

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Much more disciplined start from our bowlers after the break

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Hmmmmm, shoulder-arms to that

Might be close.
We have umpire's call..hope it works

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Yep, all reds

That's the breakthrough we needed.

Bavuma at no.4 doesn't work , he's better off at no.6 or no.5 where he can score those useful 30's in a rescue act (I would say out the team but our selection policies have been well documented) , he does try his best but he's just not prolific enough to be a no.4 .
