The fact is we are too slow. The Aussies were in deep trouble in their first innings last test. By lunch they had almost 100 with 3 down and at the end of the day they knocked US around, we only won the 1st hour in the first test.
think we will start accelerating one we’re passed 320 – 350 (or I think so)
I am one of the few Graeme Smith supporters here, but if De Kock keeps wicket from now on they must make AB Captain. Time for a serious wake up Smithy
@ MacroBull:
Nope Elgar is also a spinner, and on a part time if he pulled his finger out of his ring is Smith.
@ Sharks_forever:
Faf can also spin, we’ve got a lot of part-time spinners in the team must just find the correct one for the type of wicket that’s the trick.
Morning all, haven’t had too much chance to see any of the match, but after another poor start, the middle order have really come to the party. AB really has grown a good head on his shoulders. Well done him. Also very pleased to see JP stepping up. Maybe Elgar should be stripped of all pay altogether – we may see him breaking Lara’s record 400 on a regular basis!!!
Keep it up SA
Blomme 323 /5 after 117 overs.
Lunch – Day 2
Never tire of watching the famous onedayer at the Wanderers.
@ Just For Kicks:
That was a once in a life-time match.
@GBS
Fern se jou mail werk nie en as moontlik kan jy die nuwe password na my mail en dan moet ek dit vir hom SMS.
220 @ nortierd:
Hy praat kak man, ek het nounet weer mail gekry op my R-T Mail account.
Ek sal sy Password reset en dit vir jou mail.
@ Sharks_forever:
Problem is we could let everuone bowl spin… and can you honestly say elgar and duminy will take 10-14 wickets?

Het die besonderhede vir jou en Fern gemail na die Mail-addies waarmee julle op R-T geregistreer is.
223 @ nortierd:
Etzakkerly!
@ MacroBull:
Our quickies are good enough to also take wickets, plus on a good spinning wicket Faf and Smith will get turn too, it is sometimes the unknown that takes wickets.
@ nortierd:
Just because fernie is a slow child does not mean to say we all are 
hey puck you too you none European bastardo……
Not looking too shabby, with AB already on 115 and Duminy on 65.
Almost now at the mark where we can start pushing the run-rate a bit.
SA 342 / 5 after 122.3 overs
@ grootblousmile:
Don’t let me withdraw my support mister 
Ok off to work again, Wedding again tonight and tomorrow
227 @ Sharks_forever:
When Fernie goes at crawl-speed, he puts on a helmet, because he thinks he’s going so fast!
Was looking for a helmet smiley… but there is’nt one…
Hahaha
Be good everyone…. ok who the fuck am I kidding, impossible for you lot
@ Sharks_forever:
Whahaha
And to think, between the other Shark supporters he is a regular Einstein
Scary thought
Eish, AB perishes on 116.
SA 349 / 6 after 123.5 overs.
Dang!
@ Sharks_forever:
I know we have part timers. but you said it is good for us that the pitch is turning.
while we have part timers we cant really use a turning pitch to our advantage as we picked 4 seamers already.
We dont really have some to exploit the conditions to effectively defend just over 450 as per your original post.
@ nortierd:
Him Einstein?
233 @ nortierd:
Have you noticed, all Sharks supporters have a fatal flaw somewhere….
Oompie Puma has wobbly knees and just cannot type on a keyboard without mistakes.
Fern… well he is slow.
Tjarkie_Fornever…. well need I say more
Hehehe
