Is this pitch unsafe?

Those first two deliveries from Steyn to Ervine were brutal

Not really much a batsman can do when the bounce is so inconsistent.

Is this pitch unsafe?

Pommie & Robin Peterson seem to think so

Dangerous spell here by Steyn, I feel for Hami & Ervine out there

I wouldn't call it unsafe. I think it's just Steyn bowling brilliantly at pace and hitting the cracks on a good length consistently.

If Phehlukwayo bowls rubbish that starts rearing up at the batsman's head then maybe.

C'mon fellas tough it out

[jaybro]

Ervine needs to learn to drop his hands at these rearing deliveries

[Jemisi]

C'mon Hami

to Masakadza. Need a bit of luck today.

If we can get up to 1/50 SA might start worrying a bit. Scoring rate is pretty low currently, basically no rotation of strike.

[Kriterion_BD]

They weren't showing bowling speeds in the first game.

Looks like they were showing it for the ZIM bowlers today too...Steyn clocking 144...man this guy is fit!

Don’t worry about the run rate boys it will get easier just preserve wickets
