Bavuma to win it for SA

[Frustrated]

These chokers couldnot score 30 runs from 30 balls with 6 wickets left against us in WT20 Final.   But their best choke was probably reserved against Poyzz for this test.

Stubbs is a T20 tulla.. SA really don't know how to build a test side.

Only Bedingham is a classy addition.

 

That quota Peterson was much better.

Although a quota pick, he has achieved more than Vadapav in this format.  Can be trusted more in this situation to atleast hold up one end (like Pujara), I believe.

6'1" apparently. Tall enough for these decks.

Bavuma in test is very clutch. Can easily rely on him.

[Lone Wolf]

Pakistan should have never allowed Bosch to score that many. 

 

Their batting again stepped up but that 1st inns f** up might cost them a close test match.

He did well in their FC.  Batting two spots higher maybe

Stubbs used to be red ball player who learnt t20 batting. He mentioned it.

Bavuma is not a quota pick in Tests

Doubt he is that tall also. For a seamer that is not tall. Bounce here is coz of seam position. 

[The Hound]

South African KL Rahul is batting well

[Lord]

Stumps

 

they might end up missing Shaheen. Would have been handy on this bouncy pitch

Technique looks like a tullebaaz..  That Keegan guy was a genuine Test prospect.

Stubbs was just better version of Brevis

Was about to say this.  No doubt the pitches are tough to bat on.  But on home grounds, a top order batter is supposed to perform atleast once in 4 innings.  This hack is just not good enough for tests.  Struggled against SL too at home.  Now has failed to last even 5 mins in both innings of this test. SA team selection is as bizzare as ours.

U really want to see Ind reaching the WTC Final and get humiliated by Aus?  

True that. Don't want to see Travis Head pulverising us again.
