[putrevus]

Butler has to understand, if he needs to succeed in test cricket, he needs to play to his strengths. He cannot be pushing and prodding.

Broad is useless with the bat. 

[Stan AF]

181 all out

[Suhaan]

Really appreciate Nassir Hussain's work,he never backs out from slamming the obvious even if its from his own side

Polar opposite to our slave commentators,who usually talk about bhangra 

[Frustrated]

Philander  4/16.

[Stan AF]

6 dismissals for QDK.

[Frustrated]

From 142/3 to 181 AO.  England !!

 

Chokers have had the last laugh.

[Stan AF]

Damn it SA . 29/3

[Stan AF]

10.6

Archer to du Plessis, FOUR runs, too short, too wide, and smoked on the up through backward point! Impeccable aggression from the skipper, he's sensed the need to counterattack, and is leading from the front!

 

10.4

4

Archer to du Plessis, FOUR runs, battered through the covers, Faf isn't faffing around here! Every blow extends England's fourth-innings requirement. He's racing to a defendable total

 

10.2

4

Archer to du Plessis, FOUR runs, crunched through the covers, capitalising on a touch of width on a full length, and timed right to the edge of the rope

[Stan AF]

Nope. Not out. Grassed it.

[Suhaan]

Tests in SA off late had been more absorbing than bilateral t20s

[Suhaan]

SA botched it

How ? They have their best batsman yet to come and their tail invariably wags. Eng will

chase more than 300 and that won’t be easy. 
 

I don’t see Eng winning this ..stokes or not.

Most test matches are riveting these days.

 

The swing of fortunes, the collapses, the fightbacks and the high quality bowling ... just amazing !

 

And the highest quality tests usually involve India nowadays ... with our battery of fast bowlers blowing away opposition teams.

With Stokes in the side, any total below 300 is not safe. He plays his shotsand can get a quickfire 60-70

I can't believe Joe Root who made his debut only 7 years ago (India 2012) has already played 88 test matches.

I was more surprised with bairstow playing 60 odd matches ,unbelievable really considering nobody knew him 5 years ago lol

England play about 13 tests per year.

 

We play 9 or 10.
