[4th Test] South Africa v England

[TopCat]

6 overs to new ball and they're playing shit shots like that>??

 

[rentaghost]

Ridiculous from Curran. He is in to be a shot player but you cannot play shots like that first ball FFS

 

[Julio_Schwarz]

Not good. Threw away a 100 opening stand and now throwing away what was a good 100 partnership. Application after breaks has been poor. Difficult to judge how our bowlers will go on this pitch (and how the saffers will bat).

 

[Oli Wagkz]

15 minutes ago I honestly thought 350-400 was on the cards. Lucky yo make 300 now.

 

[Bri]

Well Buttler, are you up for it? A you a proper Test batsman?

 

[Snappy]

England collapse so easily.

 

[The Voice Of Reason]

Would take 300 from here

 

[smoker]

Totally lost their heads after Pope got out. Trying to assert themselves over someone bowling a good spell at 90mph is just stupid. Dig in and see him off.

 

[SAFC 2012]

Joe 50

319 average on here isn’t it, see lunch out and go for 300+ it’s a decent score with the weather forecast over the next few days these need to tie the series so will take more risks.

It’s a really really shit shot from Curran first up

there is a lot to like about the lad but his batting is regressing a bit

Young and raw hopefully he can wind it in with age and experience

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Solve the problem at the top of the order and get a new one lower down.

Has no defensive game at all. A T20 batsman playing test cricket.

Middle order bar ben has been an issue for a while now.

Would say it's the strongest it's been for a while. Just idiotic shots by root and curran, mistake by pope.

 

[Silly Point]

Athers, Nasser, Holding, Pollock. class.

The rest. Shite.

But he isn't

SR 58 in county cricket with an average of 29

Batted more aggressively in test cricket as his SR is nearly 65

Look at Dane Paterson SA First class record, that's a T20 bowler/batsman playing test cricket

Wonder who thought it was a good idea to put Curran in before Woakes.....?

Woakes batting has regressed in recent times especially to short fast balls.

Nortje was running in hard. Doesn't excuse pathetic shot by Curran

edit: woakes averaged 14 last year, curran only just better with 20

Athers, Nasser, Holding, Pollock. class.

The rest. Shite.

Least Nicholas is less involved.

Him KP and Pommy together is ear cancer.

 

[Jack Torrance]

Still in a decent position

Aye gotta go and get 350 now. Frustrating those 3 wickets mind
