Who's the other white guy in the coaching set up? Chubbyish bloke with a black floppy cap on. Don't recognise him

You mean Charl Langeveldt the bowling coach.

They get 150 runs ahead and bowl us all out before we reach it.

Heavy rain is forecast for this afternoon, a result is highly unlikely

Nah its a guy with a slight beard and some stubble. Is he like an analyst or something

Pretty sure that LBW shout on Overlord was adjacent. He's not picking Zahir at all. Mmm..definitely going down.
This zahir guy charges in for a spinner, gets a lot of revs and dip.

[Googly]

Ya Salamander brought his own guy from SA if I recall.

[Googly]

Ya u picked Zahir as the problem. He's a handful. Wonder what he's shouting about?

Rain is coming and I wanted to watch our guys for a while against this spin. Long enuf to practice but not long enuf to cause stress.
A chinaman is doubly hard to pick, dunno why. I guess they're rare beasts.

[sloandog]

Gumbie gone just before the rain hits. Shame.

[sloandog]

I've been very encouraged by what I've seen from Curran. We've had a massive gap opening for a while now, so the fact he's come in and looked so assured lends hope for the future. Looks a bit iffy through the off side though.
Has a bit of graeme smith about him

[Googly]

He played well today. Should have kept sweeping and reversing and maybe tried coming out to the guy to put him off.
