Are England the only team that plays a 5 test series? Back to back ashes series in 2013 as well.

Whoever England play a 5 test series against also play a 5 test series, so it's not just England

Face palm.

Asides from England and Australia then.

The aura looks to be dimming on the magnificent career of Jacques Kallis.

A golden duck takes his 2013 figures to

7 Tests
160 runs @ 16
0 hundreds
2 ducks.

Ishant Sharma, barnet and all, is on fire.

And Khan gets Biff...again.

130-4.

Proteas have lost 3 wickets for 0 runs

[smilley792]

It seems i turned over at the wrong tme.

146/6


SA faltering big time.

[Tumo]

Ishant Sharma taking wickets, looking hostile? It's a sign of the apocalypse... It would explain all this rain in England at least! 

[Gerry SA]

Getting absolutely mauled here

In his last 10 Tests Sharma was averaging 60 per wicket.

Why's he not donating us some free runs...

[Tail Ender]

Sharma on his last warning for running down the pitch in his follow through now.

Don't worry, sharma will get wacked. Still got time yet.

India normally struggle to wrap up the tail

[Gerry SA]

One thing is also glaringly obvious, the lower middle order has been under performing for a while now.

JP Duminy isn't a Test player, in fact he seems to get worst by the match.

It might be time to get Quinton de Kock in at 7 and to take over the keeping duties as well.

[smilley792]

Used to like duminy. But I just see him fail again and again at mo. No matter what format,


Get de cock in.

[csnew]

One of Duminy, FAF and pieterson could make way for de kock. Very surprised he was not selected

De Kock's only being considered as a number 7 and WK.

So he'd replace JP.

Faf's averaging 55, so he's not gonna get dropped.

If Alviro gets dropped, Dean Elgar will replace him

[mo_town]

Good comeback from the Indian quicks...its nice to see the lengths they have been bowling..they have realised that they dont need to bowl short pitched deliveries on these pitches..the fuller length deliveries are the ones which get the wickets..hopefully India will close out these last 4 wickets for few runs.

[Gerry SA]

Ishant now pounds Faf on the elbow!

Looks a different bowler after Steyn's endorsement...
