South Africa vs English 4th Test at Centurion, (which is near) Johannesburg

[CHAPPERS]

Ali is becoming an issue for me.

Between Bairstow and Cook - cooks catch for me but neither moved for it. Dropped and missed catches will probably cost is this test

England do seem to struggle with the tail.

Lunch Day 2

SA 421/8

Piedt 10*

I'm getting Knocky about this knock from de Kock. Good effort though. Hope England last 5 days.
I see England swinging the bat and probably losing quickly like the Oval last summer.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

There goes Hales test career. Just doesn't learn

 

[fleet]

We let them score way too many from bad bowling and dropped catches - can't see anything other than them winning this, but hope they prove me wrong no get a decent first innings score

Another great boost for SA tourism. This country really is expert at shooting itself in the foot.

[Shropshire Seagull]

Taylor playing his one-day style - wicket waiting to happen

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Root gone ....

 

[BensGrandad]

Our aim has got to be to pass the follow on figure once achieved the game is then back open and any result possible.

[vegster]

Being strangled out here.... I think some are already on the plane.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Hopeless. Taylor out hooking and Bairstow out 3rd ball. 211-6 at lunch. Deep doo doo

 

[Finchley Seagull]

Real collapse from England before lunch. Back to the bad old days.

Having said that, we've still won the series and we'd have all taken that before it started.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Collapse !!

Taylor & Bairstow gone before lunch - Ali and Stokes need a partnership now or we're looking at a huge first inning deficit

Hopeless. Taylor out hooking and Bairstow out 3rd ball. 211-6 at lunch. Deep doo doo

What a terrible shot by Taylor, given the situation.
