Relying on your big hitting 6 to win test matches isn't a long term strategy but he's played a pretty decent hand here.

Almost like having variety in your bowling attack is a huge advantage?

Seems like the slower you Bowl the more movement you get.

Interesting - I reckon advantage just about England as it stands but a lot rests on how England bat in that first session (provided they take that last wicket quickly!)

How does the slow over rate penalty work in WTC?  I believe the team loses points but are fines and suspension associated with it, also?

Chanceless was it ? Easy to point and say that but he’s nicked a lot and been dropped.
How many decent scores are chanceless and don't involve a few nicks and the odd dropped chance at this level, pretty much none I would imagine. I thought it was good counter attacking knock, yes it's not going to work all the time but a batting order (much like a bowling attack) needs variety. Cant all be blockers or all hitters, need both in my opinion.

Has there been an instance of WK batting in the top 5 and being consistent batting wise with good average?  Would SA be better off by making Quinton play strictly as #4/#5 batsmen and using Klassen as the keeper?  Will that help SA or hinder I wonder.

If Markram fails in the 2nd innings he needs to be dropped.  I do not think he has done anything spectacular since the India series to keep his place in the test team.

SA are so so so bad. De kock slogging now won’t help

I hate to say this, but for someone who is perfectly reasonable in the real world, you do display some fairly "entrenched" opinions online...

I give you the legend that is Kumar Sangakarra.

And also to a certain extent our very our Alec Stewart

QDK looked sublime but did get a terrific delivery from Curran.

Missed both those thinking that Sangakara was batting at 3 after giving up the gloves, while Stewart gave up the gloves shortly after he he started opening.

Stewart scored 2877 runs at 33 while keeping and batting in the top 5.  Only 6 others have made over 1000 runs whilst keeping and batting top 5, De villiers 1596 at 57, Sangakkarra 3092 at 40 and Andy Flower 3672 at 52 the only ones to average at least 40.

So not many are able to do it successfully.
