[Insane_Homer]

69/3 good start being undone now.

[OomStruisbaai]

70/3 Janneman gone. Rassie to the rescue

[Insane_Homer]

71/4 imploding.

[Rinkals]

Umpire's call on the varnish of leg stump does for Bavuma.

Miller joins van der Dussen. 71 for 4

[handyman]

Only 2 of 11 balls for Bavuma, burning too many deliveries.

[OomStruisbaai]

Ideal platform for Miller.

[Insane_Homer]

84/5

[Rinkals]

van der Dussen goes for 4.

Miller the last batsman left.

Pretorius is the first of the tail enders.

That's the problem with going in with only 6 batsmen.

[handyman]

Miller the only recognised batsman left, oh dear.

[FalseBayFC]

Ideal platform for Miller.

Always the optimist Oom!
Hope Miller sticks around for a while.

Why did Cricket South Africa Cricket ask Russel Domingo to apply for his job after white wash the Aussies?

If this don't prove his worth nothing will.

[Insane_Homer]

fucking thumped. Well done to the Bangers. thoroughly deserved.

[Enzedder]

So, NZ schedule a game in Napier and lo & behold, an orange weather warning for Hawkes Bay. They should contract to the farmers in the Bay to have adrought breaker there every year.

Only one can be the coach.

Well that's not my thinking, Domingo should still have coach South Africa.

[Sards]

Yoh....hang your heads I'm shame Proteas. Is this a deliberate attempt to get rid of Boucher.

What must the kids think watching this rabble

[Thor Sedan]

And here I was thinking the Windies made a mistake putting England in to bat.

[Insane_Homer]

123/9 thought it was the first t20 at first glance

[Torquemada 1420]

123/9 thought it was the first t20 at first glance

Take another look. Windies usual lack of discipline.

[Enzedder]

I recall Leach doing this once before - cannot remember the game though

[OomStruisbaai]

England get through 80 overs.

[Mahoney]

I recall Leach doing this once before - cannot remember the game though

Ireland test at Lord's, wasn't it? Spared our blushes.

Scored 90odd opening that innings. Maybe should have kept him there

Meanwhile, Pakistani umpires and David Warner appear not to be a good mix

The third Test came to a stop on day four in Lahore after David Warner engaged in a heated discussion with umpires over running on the wicket.

Midway through the first session, Warner received a warning from the umpires about encroaching the protected area.

The opener was baffled by the warning, and play stopped for an extended period while he pleaded his case.

Warner stressed that he was entitled to bat out of his crease and play his shots before running to the side.

The umpires weren’t having it, however, deeming that he was in the danger zone.

“You want me to play my shot like this...” Warner was heard saying on stump mic as he gestured towards the side of the wicket.

Umpire Ahsan Raza replied: “Yes, you have to move.”

“Show me in the rule book where that’s what I’ve got to do. I won’t start until you show me,” Warner was then heard saying.

Mixed views from the commentators - I noted in the women's world cup that a Sri Lankan umpire stopped the Kiwi umpires from batting outside of the crease as well.

EDIT: It's in the rules 41.15. You can move into the area to play a shot but you cannot take your stance there

[OomStruisbaai]

Warner is a doos.

[OomStruisbaai]

England falling apart.

[Paddington Bear]

This reset was fun eh
