69 all out and one man in double figures, mind you at 40-7 it could have been worse I guess

An old English saying comes immediately to mind "fuck me sideways"

I'm trying to find an upside here...
I honestly believe this pitch has gotten easier. That morning session is always tough.
Let's see how we do in the second dig.

Brutally exposed and embarrassed. Completely outclassed.

It’s so good to get such tough games away from internationals though. The worry is that they won’t bother coming back, given that they face almost no challenge whatsoever.

This is savage. Why hasn't Campbell bowled yet?

I really thought they'd run us into the ground here. Obviously don't want to play tomorrow. :lol:
This is the test now. Pitch is playing better .

This reminds of a time when the India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka A teams toured Kenya, and the one sidedness of the FC matches in Mombasa had me thinking "are we really that far off?"

I can answer clearly. No we're not. Our bowling has been shite. Our big two would have hassled these guys.

We've been on the wrong side of a tricky pitch and some fantastic bowling. Shit happens

That ball from Mitchell stayed 1 inch off the ground
