And that's stumps. Just glad we can watch cricket.
Sorry, I know it's cliché to crap on about the death of test cricket after an ashes defeat

Temba Bavuma says SA still in with a chance in first Test against India
“We need to play with the same kind of intensity we showed (Tuesday) morning,” said the Proteas’s vice captain. “What’s happened has happened, the first session on Wednesday will be super key.”

Great to hear afrikaans out in die middle.

Beanpole get Kohli first ball after lunch.79/4
Bitter sweet moment for Kohli. IIRC he was the one who made sure Jansen got an IPL contract.

We bowled kak on that first day and we're very unlucky.
Much better bowling effort on the last two days.
Batters must join the party now.

Rassie & Elgar grafting through the tough time.
53/2 still 28 overs remaining

Ball getting softer and the pitch is slowing up a bit. Should last until 5pm at least todayOomStruisbaai wrote: ↑Wed Dec 29, 2021 2:39 pm Rassie & Elgar grafting through the tough time.

Sadly losing that 2 wickets. Only rain can stop us tomorrow wining the 1st test.

A chance of afternoon thunderstorms according to Accuweather. I'm not sure it'll last that long though. Bumrah has been lethal so far and once Elgar goes I fear the rest will tumble quickly.

As long as they show fight like Elgar and Rassie did yesterday. QdK the secret.FalseBayFC wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 6:00 am A chance of afternoon thunderstorms according to Accuweather.

No Bavuma and Elgar are the keys to surviving. They have the technique to bat for long periods in these conditions.

Reminds me of this dude Bruce Reid. He would have been a legend had it not been for all the injuries he suffered. Hope Marco Jansen doesn't go the same route. Jansen is 3 cm taller than Reid who was 2.03m. Curtley Ambrose is 2.01m. Mohammad Irfan of Pakistan is 2.16m or 7'1" .

Yes, bowling is a very unnatural thing for the body. I'd be seriously impressed if he can manage to stay away from back injuries.FalseBayFC wrote: ↑Thu Dec 30, 2021 7:16 amReminds me of this dude Bruce Reid.

Ngam and Schultz, just 2 bowlers that could have had amazing careers for the Proteas.

I've been drinking prosecco or dry champagne lately. Gone off beer and and never been a huge hard tack guy.

Elgar gone, game over.

Oh well. At least Elgar showed some gumption.

Just no desire shown by De Kock to apply himself, was looking like getting out from ball 1

Our batting lineup is like England's without Joe Root.
