so he isn't a RIGHT handed batsman?

Sibley departs without scoring. 4 for one.

Crawley departs.

5 for two.

Can root and bairstowe put together a partnership?

England Vs Black Caps for 2 tests in June - awesome work.

Posted: **Tue Jan 26, 2021 6:00 am**

Pakistan against South Africa.

South Africa have won the toss and are batting. Clearly Pakistan are not as good at sleight-of-hand as the Indians as I think we lost every toss in a five match series when we were there last.

I'll be interested to see how many times England end up batting last on a bunsen when they tour in a week or so.

Markram departs early.

It's astonishing that a batsman who oozes class as Markram does can be out so often and so cheaply.

Posted: **Tue Jan 26, 2021 8:13 am**

A run out in a test is unforgivable.

Posted: **Tue Jan 26, 2021 8:27 am**

Massive wicket, Elgar gone.

Are SA trying to prove we can better Sri Lanka when it comes to crap batting collapses?

Gotta be really good at sleight-of-hand if they manage to get the umpire (who does the toss) to do it for them, I suppose...

Boucher will be livid with the 2 run-outs.

179/6 after 56 overs, the 2 spinners in the middle.

Posted: **Tue Jan 26, 2021 9:46 am**

2 run outs

Posted: **Tue Jan 26, 2021 10:50 am**

Little tonk from Rabada at the end gets us to 210. Bit low, but let's see if Pakistan can prevent running themselves out in their innings too.

Edit: hang on, it's a six. Only 9 down

Posted: **Tue Jan 26, 2021 10:59 am**

220 all out

Pak 16/2, KG with both wickets.

I'm not being serious.

It's just that the amount of times the Indians win the toss at home seems improbable. That said, if these things do average out, India are due to have a long sequence losing the toss starting with the England games.

They tend to prepare the pitches to take exaggerated turn after the first session which makes the fourth innings a treacherous endeavour, so it's important to bat first.

As an attempt to bait the world test log leaders, that's pretty rancid.

In the last decade they've played 43 Tests at home, and won the toss in 22 of them. Almost a perfect 50%.

Highly improbable.

I’ll have my calculator out. Really looking forward to the series, especially after an enjoyable and encouraging Sri Lanka series. It"s soooooo good to have live sport to watch.

Well, I think you'll find that I suggested that, if we were to have the sort of redress that the laws of probability dictate, then there will be a streak of toss-losing, probably starting with the England games.

We'll find out soon enough.

I found you suggested that "the amount of times the Indians win the toss at home seems improbable", when in fact the last decade suggests absolutely nothing of the sort. You could just admit you made it up!

No wicket for SA, but 71 runs for Pakistan in the first session, Pakistan now 104/4.

Posted: **Wed Jan 27, 2021 8:24 am**

Finally a wicket, Pakistan now 126/5.

Ngidi bowled 6 overs only, injured?
