State of SA

England's 4th highest and their highest 4th wicket partnership, and from being about 30-3 after 10 even more remarkable. Not that common at all. Any 200 run ODI partnership is extraordinary.

Bosch is the next bowler knocking on the door. To get swing and seam like that in T20 is extraordinary.

Jordan Hermann is surely the next big thing in the SA batting dept? They just keep producing good cricketers.

That flying ants' nest is on the field. You'd think the groundsmen would have dealt with it a few years ago

Lol OH and Takashinga outfields are (or were) absolutely full of ants nests too


Eeish, 1-2 chasing 213

Career ending ones at OH. You land on one of those in dry weather and you're finished. They need to deal with the nest and then dig half a meter down and sort them out. Half a day's work with a two hour tea break is all you need.

The new Proteas’ Test coach has taken to the Test lineup with an axe. Elgar sacked as captain, Bavuma is now captain across all formats, Kyle Verreynne has been dumped as the wicket keeper with Henrich Klassen taking over.

Ngidi has also been dumped from the side replaced by Gerald Coetzee and finally Aiden Markram will open with Elgar again instead of Sarel Erwee who’s also been thrown out of the side along with Rassie.

The coach also mentioned that he wants four seamers and a spinning all-rounder so it looks like Senuran Muthusamy might play ahead of both Harmer & Maharaj.

No mention of Zondo so I assume he’s been retained, I guess they need the quota number if they’re dropping Ngidi. Also no mention about who’s batting at No.3 so I assume De Bruyn gets yet another chance?

Oh right wow they really have gone through with the cleaners

Looks like Petersen & Rickelton into spots 3&4 and Bavuma will hide down at 5 as captain
