Muirhead will play a test match this year! I'll put money on it.

And if he makes it to be the main test bowler, he won't be a defensive spinner to tie an end up, he will be a Shane warne esque attacking bowler that take wickets!

Yes... but he will also bowl at least one full bunger an over as well...

Legspinners... the definition of inconsistent!

I hate T20. But if it wasn't for T20 we would not yet have heard of Muirhead who was about 4th in line spin bowler in Victoria.

Having seen him, I think he will usurp Lyon sooner rather than later.

Has weapons.

Currently eyes, but he's 20 and has plaited more internationals than he has fc games! He has a lot to learn.

Didn't he tear England apart in the presidents xi?

Really poor shot from duminy

[Cedrictoad]

What a catch!

[cesare_in]

What the heck - totally unnecessary by Duminy

What the heck - totally unnecessary by Duminy

Considering he was beaten the ball before when he came down the wicket... obviously Duminy is not a big thinker

[Gerry SA]

Well, well, well

Jean Paul Duminy and off break bowling continued to be a marriage made in hell...

Marchant de Lange could be a superstar if he stays on the park.

Has height, pace, bounce and accuracy.

Problem is Vic, MdL has no confidence in god body post injury.

He's still bowling 150kph but barely playing.

Such a shame

[petehosk]

To be fair, that was a quality catch!
The bowling was average, the shot wasn't great, but the catch was superb.
You can't keep him out of this match! If he's not taking wickets by bowling, then he's taking catches like that! It's that facial hair.....everyone knows! It obviously gives him super powers 

It rests on AB with this match....tons of pressure. And if they get AB, and SA don't reach the follow-on target, what does Clarke do? Make them follow on or make them bat on days 4/5?

He lost his faith in God?

I always thought that Afrikaaners are deeply religious?

So sad that he has had so much injury, because like Patrick Cummins, de Lange provides an exhilarating glimpse into the fast bowling future.

I hope he comes back better than ever.

[Cedrictoad]

Clarke would never enforce the follow on...

In modern cricket it isn't done... also post VVS Laxman, Australians in particular never enforce.

I'm not sure mate.

But I've just seen Bombay have signed him in the IPL. So hopefully 8 weeks with Shaun Pollock will get him back to his best.

I'm looking forward to the day MdL and Cummins play in the same Test!

You don't wanna enforce it in back to back tests anyway. Give your men a rest! And keep the oppo in the field for as long as possible!

It can back fire either way. Look at NZ recently, nearly snatching defeat from a 300 run first innings lead...
