Some young guns going well for Otago. Tom Jones on a run a ball 59 at tea. While Jacob Cumming finally broke through and sxored his maiden first class century. Even though the Basin looks very flat, great to see some young talent stand up stand up for the side after Dean Foxcroft and Dale Phillips left

not unusual
And now over 100. Looks a heck of a talent. Still U19 eligible too

Jesse Ryder had so much natural talent, just couldn't handle the other demands sadly

@canefan Jesse Ryder was such a talent.
Smoking 140+ bowlers for 6 and just giggling. What a player. So sad his demons were out of control

Imagine KW, Taylor and Ryder clocking up 100 tests.....sigh. He had arguably more natural talent than even those two.
Same age as RT, also a very handy bowler.......the all conquering test champions would have been even better if he had stayed the course and had the career we hoped he would.

Second test - India vs SA.
Luckily it's only a two test series so the Jaaps won't get the chance to match our 3-0 victory.
They're well on the way to winning 2-0.
They made 489 in their first innings and India is presently 119/6.
Unless they suddenly find Dravid and VVS style partnership, they're going to get thrashed!
-
So South Africa finish with a first innings lead just under 300 and choose not to enforce. Be interesting to see how long they bat for. My guess is they'll aim to declare just before lunch with a lead of about 450 and give themselves 5 sessions plus a couple of niggly overs. Light has consistently been an issue so they'll probably lose a decent chunk of playing time that way.
-
It's now midway through session two and the South Africans are still batting. Fair enough when they're 1-0 up in a 2 match series, I think they're prioritising the series win over this match, and even 4 sessions (less maybe 20 overs due to bad light) should be enough, but it's getting close to the point where the Indians will feel confident about the draw.

I've kept an eye on Wiaan Mulder since he opted out of going for the world record score vs Zimbabwe.
Since his 367 not out he's gotten 17, 0, 24, 11 and 13.
Zimbabwe probably shouldn't have test status anymore.

Before the start of the 2nd innings (as I write this he’s 29*) he’d scored 1218 runs at 35.00
Take away his 367* his average drops to 25..
Also that triple century is responsible for approx 30% of his test runs to date..
