Hales gone for 60 

Set up a treat by Morkel and good grab by AB De Villiers at 2nd slip (his 200th dismissal in Test Cricket)

Gutted for Hales, would have loved a ton from him. I think (hope) given a bit of time he could perform, for England, the same role Warner does for Aus. Just needs a bit of time to adjust I reckon. Hope they stick with him.

England will stick with him im sure,with Compton at 3 theres an insurance policy if Hales goe early.i think thats half the reason NC was picked-hes opposite to Hales.
It does look to me now thou as if the doir has closed on Bell.not that many fans of bell on these boards from past threads i dint think but warks fan look like seeing him next year
Personally ive loved watching Bell for england but with hales,ballance in the squad,taylor doing well and Lyth(?) maybe to come again,and Compton doing a job so far....he wont get back in

That bumper Rabada judt bowled to Root was seriously quick!
Definitely one to watch

[smilley792]

Wowcher! That got on him fast.




Also roots pink Nb gloves



Can you get these @Vitas Cricket

Compton caught off a short ball.
Hit it well straight to midwicket 

[rickjames]

My mind is still blown that Nick Compton hit a six in a test match

[ppccopener]

To be fair that was unlucky,he hit that well and looks the part against the short ball
A bit more wood in the hitting area rather than the edge and he might of gotvthat thru
Hehe!!

And that is tea

Rabada has bowled well and deserved his wickets. I look forward to seeing how his international career progresses.

So far of the three wickets:
Cook was prodding in front of his eyes.
Hales was set up and got a good nut.
You could argue Compton didn't have to go after his right before tea.

167-3 it's finely poised, but South Africa will be the happier of the two sides at this stage.

We noticed these in the last game. Will ask NB.

[WalkingWicket37]

How was that not a no ball?

[smilley792]

That was a no ball in my opinion. The foot wasn't even grounded in the shot the zoomed. It was the next shot


Old man umpire confused by the shadow

Another picture of the pink gloves.
These are a bit naughty

It seems Compo is going to be one of these players who people dislike - oppo and English fans combined.

If he gets runs, he gets them slowly and that gets people going and moaning.

However, my opinion is that he looks more likely to score runs than the alternatives - Lyth, Robson, Bell et all - he's also a useful foil if Cook goes early. All you Hales fans who want a crash, boom, bang start, maybe grateful for Compton in the games to come!

I like Compton, big fan of a resolute grinder at no 3. Although his technique got found out a bit I like Ballance at 3 for that resolute mental toughness.
