Surely give Bennett a couple of overs, this is staggering along .

I never realised Nyamhuri has never played a single first class game?
Where's the disconnect that the franchise coach won't pick him for red ball yet he walks straight into the test side?
Langeveldt must have had a say. I think he has done a good job in his short spell so far. Some of the guys have clearly improved. With more time he could accomplish more.

Ervine finally gives BB a couple of overs and he's probably been the most threatening. Getting a bit of drift and dip. It's his game, get the feeling in your nut sack and back the dude.

Mavuta strangely is bowling better to the left handers.
He's got a really bad habit of pitching it outside off to to the right handers too many times. It's like he's setting them up for the googly, but then he doesn't bowl it. He's gotta bowl it middle and leg.

A say in chicken or beef for lunch? :lol: The desperation for a generational gem talent is killing our cricket off at an accelerating pace, we're going down the plug hole as we speak.

Well a decisive loss in that session. Still plenty of runs to play with. Need someone to crack this stand after the break.

I wonder if Andile Phelukwayo has any bad dreams that he has kept Corbyn Bosch out of the Proteas for so many years?
The selectors just drink Green Label and celebrate, but do the players have a conscience?

Bennett induces the edge and Slug drops it.
Myers is the best slip fielder for the spinners.
This is the best I've ever seen Brian bowl, thought he was bang average prior to these last two days.

And he takes Mavuta off :lol:
He's had very few overs for the main spinner, why pick the dude if you're not going to bowl him?
