TDK's International Test Cricket Update's

[The Dark Knight]

5/32 now
Huge advantage for England bowling first in a 3 day match.

[The Dark Knight]

Just flicked over to the cricket. Who the **** are Zondo and Rickleton?

There were huge wraps on Rickelton to replace Markram in the lead up to this match, gone well for Northamptonshire in County cricket this year.

Thought the same thing

They have a few injured or been dropped ?

Markram dropped because he's been really struggling for runs and van der Dussen injured with a broken finger.

[The Dark Knight]

SA currently 7/99.
Jansen 30* and Maharaj 14*, they've put on 27 and Mulder and Jansen put on 36 to save SA from complete embarrassment.

[DOC]

All out 118. All results possible.

Sth African fielder Zondo (I think) claims a catch of a bumped ball.

[DOC]

2/84 at tea off 16 overs. Lights on and quite overcast.

Pretty sure England are incensed at the South Africans for not extending the test. Ball still doing a lot so this could change quickly with a couple of wickets.

Crawley went for 5. averages 26 . Think he will get dropped.

[Brodlach]

England 7/154 at stumps


17 wickets in one day

[DOC]

Bad light stopped play. Only 70 overs out of 98 achieved. On TV the lights looked good enough. An ESPN poster summed it up for me:

""the whole light problem could be solved by playing test matches in the cricket season, not the football season"

Yep.

Yep.

Technically it is still cricket season in England? April to September?

Crawley went for 5. averages 26 . Think he will get dropped.

They keep backing him but he still continues to fail and the longer that goes on for then surely they have to drop him.

[Brodlach]

Poms all out for 158

Could be a two day test

Both teams bowled out in 36.2 overs.
SA now 0/46, lead by 6.

[PatowalongaPirate]

Elgar just walked on an LBW shout that was missing leg stump by a long way.

[PatowalongaPirate]

2/90

Lead by 50.

[The Dark Knight]

Elgar just walked on an LBW shout that was missing leg stump by a long way.

Which gave Broad his 564th test wicket going past Glenn McGrath.

Yuck.

[DOC]

All out 169. 130 to get. Perhaps tonight.

A 2 day test. That's more like it.

[DOC]

FMD Alex Lees dropped at fourth slip first ball.

MMMM.

Possibly over in 2 days, captain walks when not out, simple chance put down.

If Rabada bowls a no ball with the fourth ball of his second over I'm gunna be rich.

[Rik E Boy]

We are going to flog the Saffers when they come here. They are seriously average. Don't have one good batsman. The only one I rated was Markram who got dropped for scoring as badly as everyone else. Elgar has never looked likely for me and he's the best of the rest while Peterson makes Marcus Harris look good.

RIP BazBall 2022-2022

nice to see the poms come back down to Earth with a thud

Loved seeing how quickly and well this aged

Mind you, despite being a big Barmy Armier, I was afraid you were right at the time.

As it is, very happy to win six tests in a summer, including a series against the 'at-the-time' number one ranked side in the world
