Just spoke to an ex groundsman. Those last two decks are the spiciest and turn the least. Why would we be using them today? More pacing from me!
Solly wasn’t cut so the medic thinks he needs a band aid like a kid. Maybe he threw in a lollipop as well?

What the fuck was that umpire looking at? Clear daylight between bat and ball. We should have reviews!! Pisses me off. If anyone ever has bad luck it’s us.
Tough call for Hammy, that didn't look out at all. And you would think being the home team... who am I kidding when do we ever get calls going in our favour.

Well, the ICC is in charge of the pitches.

I was driving to work and had the game on my phone and I only heard Mire's helmet smash; sounded really a hard smash that did. Hope the bloke's ok. Worryingly, the wicket looks like it has some pace and bounce in it. I'd reconsider opening with Chisoro today. 65-2, game on here gents

What do we think people about the pitch ?? Looks quicker for sure so I don’t think 2012 is a winnable total but there seems to be something in for all the bowlers

Maybe 250 type pitch ?

Brilliant shot from Ervine. I hope this brings him in the zone.

I think we can defend 250 the pitch seems to be slowing as the ball gets older
