Could be a few interruptions, the rule of thumb still applies I think, win the toss and have a bat.

Looks like a two day test.
So which end are they bowling from?
The series should be a decent contest at least

No. It is not. But we’re going to be stuckified with it. We will remember the days fondly when test cricketers wore no shirt numbers.

You got that right.
When a left handed batsman is standing that far down the pitch and the right handed bowler is coming around the wicket it’s going to be going down leg in the vast majority of times that it hits the batsman in front. You’d think an opening Test batsman would know that.

All out for 284.
Smith 144 and bowled trying to go big.
We were 8/122. Siddle and Lyon stood tall; Siddle – 44, Lyon -12. They supported Smith well.
“It’s a little bit frustrating in the end. We bowled fantastically well this morning. Steve Smith played an exceptional innings. It’s very tough, isn’t it? We didn’t get enough balls at Nos 10 and 11 in one go. Do you put everyone back and suck it up? I think we’ve got to find a way of trying to keep a dismissal in the game as well.”

The vegan could have gone on with it and scored 50 plus more but he just became too fatigued.

Yes, that minor brain explosion at Newlands is totally forgiven. The boy is the best :)
Bump. I’m going off to the lounge room to watch play. Likely until Luncheon is called.

On further reflection I’d probably back England to hang on for the draw.
Seems like it could go either way, with the draw being slightly more likely of the three options.

They really should count Lillee’s wickets during World Series. They were probably harder to take than traditional wickets at the time.
