Another catch for Latham. Philander gone. SA 7 down, but De kock making batting look easy. Need to get him out asap.
Its like having to deal with Adam Gilchrist all over again..
Gilchrist was never that big a Kock either

@Mokey was pretty outstanding anticipation to take this wasnt it.

are there laws about moving position before the ball is delivered?
update: I googled it - seems it is now permitted

Is everyone too scared to talk about the cricket for fear of applying the kiss of death?
SA bowled out for 314.
BCs 67/0 in reply.Yes you read that right, 67 runs without loss.
Great to see Latham tough it out after his lean run lately. He was actually given out to a shocker early on, which was overturned on review.Hopefully the rain stays away.

Raval is bloody consistent. Watch him get out for 30 odd
Yeah the Jeet in the team that isn't an overrated shit heap ( Hearing Jerry Coney on the Radio trying to say they've 'given the ball to Patel to try and get some turn' with a straight face was hilarious ) has been remarkable in his consistency. No peaks or troughs yet.

I'm probably about to jinx Tommy by saying this but man it was good to see a black cap opener in a form slump figuring out where he had an issue and grift through an innings to get his touch back. Watching him leave anything outside off was such a joy and makes me feel like we've got someone who has the ability to be an all time great black cap opener.

Nah, Tom's shithouse, I reckon he won't even make it to tea

Nice one..

Latham survives first over and goes on to bring up his 50 before getting out, and @Cyclops narrowly avoids a ban.
These two have set a platform now. Would be great if Jeet can go on with it - as mentioned above he's been consistent with his starts but hasn't kicked on - but TBH I'm pretty happy with that, as by NZ standards that's quite a lot more then we've had from our openers in quite some time.
-
@No-Quarter I think pretty much the same.
It would be nice if he turned some of these starts into 100's, but as long as he keeps averaging 45, I couldn't care less if he never got a test 100.
It's early days, but 45 is an outstanding average for a NZ opener (I'm much more accustomed to 30 odd).
-
they were saying on the radio, Jeet has batted for over 2 hours in 7 of his (11?) innings.
