I'd like to see BT again. He will offer much this time around, have a feeling in my bones. Of course if he came back as a keeper it would add much depth to the team.
He will replace Welch if he doesn't do well, he's not a favorite.
You feel he's only ever about 3 or 4 innings from being dropped, he's on a very short rope. By a huge distance he's our hardest working most committed cricketer.
Same as Knackers- if he qualifies again NW is the guy under pressure.

Ervine owes us a score, he's looking vulnerable.
These upcoming tests will show us if the old guys are still up for it. Tough games coming up and we have a couple of players now. Whether they keep getting rope remains to be seen, but theres Maru, Myers, Bawa, Burl, Campbell, Welch Jr, Kaitano etc etc all waiting. The fact is there's pressure to have a black batter in the front 4, let that not be lost on anyone. I like Wes where he is, hes looking good, a lot less pressure there as well.

I mean I'd hazard a guess that NW was almost batting for a spot today. He's gone 90, low score, low score, low score, 50, low score, low score and whatever he gets today. Its understandable that he's under pressure. Its clear he's very vulnerable early on. Most of our guys are no different, except for Bennett, but there's long rope and short rope depending on who you are.

I dont want to put the mockers on Tsiga this innings, but hes way more accomplished as a test batsman than Mayavo and Madande.

[Googly]

Welch reversing everything. Doing it well...so far

[Googly]

And now sweeping. Not really his game, this Mousley lad is varying the pace and he needs to be very careful.

[Googly]

Pity, he deserved 100 there. By his reaction looked a dubious catch.
Now a match up between Madande and Tsiga. This will be good. We need to save the game as well

[Googly]

Madande batting really well here, does he know we need a draw to save some blushes?
If he goes out playing a stupid shot it will be annoying.

[Googly]

The kiss of death again. Fuck.

[Googly]

Watched it about 4 times, might have strsightend a bit, but he played down the wrong line. Pity, he was looking good. He felt the pain of that. Sorry.

Wellie needs to dig in here and bat really responsibly. Its not a good look to lose to these guys.

I'm a one man band today. U guys alive?
