He’s the future captain :lol:

Someone posted on here months ago a young black lad was being groomed for it…

100% he is. Knows his stuff as well, very decent captain. Just has to do well personally though.

He had plenty of aggressive fields, nine slips or whatever :lol: if the bowling was more accurate it would have paid off.

Raza will be hanging out and starving 12 days into Ramadan :lol: he’s okay to sit this one out.

Not necessarily. Amla once hit a triple while fasting...then there's Hakeem who dominated against Michael Jordan during a day game back in 1997.

:lol:

He has zero match awareness as it is when he’s batting. In his focused and reflective state he’d be thinking everything was going for six.

Vinny picks one good going from the lad.

Not true.

No obligation to fast whilst travelling. Can be made up afterwards. He himself has stated very clearly that he was not fasting during that innings.

Is this tea or a declaration? I know it would be a weird one but its possible.

Chivanga and Falao have not bowled well. Not too late for Evans! :lol:

Falao looks like he has had some good bounce.

Chivanga at times looks like he just comes in and bowls fast with no plan.

Anything just short of a length has tennis ball bounce today. Blessing would have been absolutely lethal on this pitch.

I don't know why Dion hasn't tried Jonno Campbell?
This is a ridiculous run rate on this pitch. It's doing a lot.
