@pistol101 - did you play against alex hales?

We knocked his leg stump out the ground first ball - Tom Hampton no balled. Hales got 150!

talking Comptons technique.. He's been hit in the midriff several times now to length balls that nip back at him. He's getting caught closed off. This being closed off stance seems to be a regular occurrence currently but does limit your ability to play shots. Weird so many are doing it

COMPTON DO NOT START FLASHING AT WIDE FULL BALLS.. BAT PROPERLY YOU IDIOT

Said it before, Viljoen should have been playing ahead of morris and Abbott. Gave a lot of batsman in the ram slam a hurry up including a one KP

A lot different bowling 4 overs quickly than playing a Test match. Will Viljoen be able to back this pace up in the third/fourth spells?

Playing a lot off the back foot away from his body too, don't want to be doing that on a pitch moving about..  ok on flat decks but not decent wickets like this seems to be.

Do we reckon Viljoen might be the only person to hit his first test ball for 4 and take a wicket with his first test delivery?

I think TMS said fourth to do it.

BBC Text updates are suggesting the 2nd after a NZ player in the 30's but they're not exactly known for their accuracy (the BBC text, not 1930's Kiwi cricketers).

There is that yes, I grew up watching boycs bore the life out of test cricket

He looks a little unsure on picking length or maybe unsure of the wicket?
Almost like he's a little too wary?nervous

And then he suddenly switches on?
Hope he bats all day and proves me wrong
