South Africa v England 3rd Test - Port Elizabeth



Absolutely awful wicket. This sort of cricket isn't good for the game
Dawid Malan also looks a bit like a fish

Awful day 1 wicket, reckon it might quicken up and then disintegrate. Best batting day will be tomorrow.
Denly adds much needed stickability at the top but he’s toast if he keeps doing the hard yards and then always gets out for around 30.

If Crawley can settle in, he may well be the one who goes once Burns comes back.

Difficult to know what to make of it so far. We've seen turn and uneven bounce already, but we've lost some poor wickets to some straightforward leg theory.

I'm not buying this commentary that it was a great plan and the batters had to play the shots they did, it was (two) simple chip shots to catchers.
