That is frustrating Blundel should bring the slip cordon up.
Didn’t learn from the first 2 edges .
It is always the WK responsibility he sets the distance.Yeah, strange that Blundell didn't make that adjustment.

So what's happened?
Henry reverted to type?
I don't think so. Caught edges, but they didn't carry. Not entirely bowler's fault - the keeper should be closer. Three edges dropping in front of slip. Then a chance shlled at 199/3.
At 200/4 or 5 it's on like kong.
Also, as expected, SA batted a whole lot better
Two chances shelled. One through the hands and another when the slips decided to look at each other instead of catching the tricking ball.
Henry could have easily had a decent bag again. -
With us knocking over 2 wickets on 199 we didn't really make the most of bowling at 2 new batsmen at the crease... needed to be more proactive in those last 20 overs before stumps, especially early in their innings.
Day 1 - South Africa : 238/3 (90)

We were pro-active. Just couldn't catch. Could have easily been 220/5 and into the tail for more.

They weren't proactive enough for me... when a new batsmen comes to the crease they are at their most vulnerable, that's when we really need to put the squeeze on with very attacking field placings, only has to be for very short periods, an over or two, if it doesn't work go back to regular field placings, in that type of situation you have nothing to lose, but plenty to gain.

Thanks for the cricket basics lecture.
Did you actually watch the play?
When the two newbies were first in we had a ball at the end of its life. Putting in a full slip cordon is a total waste of time and reduces the ability to put the bats under pressure from plugging holes.
One of those catch drops was from a short mid on. Would you rather that guy was in the slips? -

Another catch put down. SA looking ominous. That maiden series win is looking like a big ask
Yeah, we can't afford to drop a lolly like that, hard enough to get a wicket as it is.

ona slow-ish pitch, ya got to roll the opposition twice in two 1/2 days to win, though. It's a fair old ask. Unless the pitch falls apart, it could have draw written all over it

Draw wins the series. Our first innings is going to be huge. Get set for a score close to their total and we should be sweet

Henry! Got em! He's got the other bloke hopping as well so hopefully he can open up both ends soon
Bloody good yorker.

Comms seem to think it was unintentional based on Henry's reaction. Matty is on right now

Not use to Henry bowling slower balls... but looked like he meant to bowl a slower one.
-
Henry is a much better bowler now that he has more variation to his bowling... adding a slower ball & can also swing it as well, great stuff.

This version of him is definitely much more dangerous. He has the saffas guessing
