Just flicked on to the SA V PAK test.
An hour and a half into day 1 and Pakistan are fucked. 54 for 5.
But crikey Newlands is a beautiful ground.
Cape Town is definitely on my bucket list.
Meanwhile Stanlake pretty quick in the T20 Ozzie Bash Bash. Is he the new Shaun Tait?

Not sure where to put this - but the WIndies are smoking England at the moment. Lead by 339 with 4 wickets left, after rolling England for 77.
West Indies beat England, West Indies won by 381 runs
WI 289 & 415/6d vs ENG 77 & 246 - West Indies won by 381 runs in Bridgetown, ENG in WI 2019, January 23 - 26, 2019
I kept half an eye on it yesterday morning, and the Windies threw away a really good start ... or so I thought

Great cricketer, perfect foil for paddles.
Not many sportsmen nearly die on their debuts.And, like Sir Don, he was out for a golden duck in his last innings!

Ha. An average NZ player compared to Bradman. Only on the fern.

I hate to be that person, but I will. Actually, who am I kidding - I love being that guy.
The Don was out for a second-ball duck...
Bradman needed only four runs from his final innings to have a Test batting average of exactly 100, but he failed to score, bowled second ball for a duck by leg spinner Eric Hollies.[1]``` -
I am probably going to feel stupid, but how/why is Audi a nickname for Waugh?

He got four ducks in a row vs Sri Lanka.

Thanks. Between you and me, saying it's because he got four ducks didn't help me one bit. I couldn't work out what ducks had to do with Audi! Then google came to the rescue.
I am from Christchurch.

So am I, but even I managed to work that one out... (unlike the above golden duck mistake - will just have to settle with sharing a duck in the last innings).

England rolled by the Windies again on a pretty green deck.
The ball that got Root was a beauty, as was the team catch in the slips.

Windies at 30 without loss at stumps. Looks a tough pitch to bat on so England aren't out of it.
I've been enjoying this series, nice see West Indian quicks with their tails up. England played 3 wicket keepers and just as well because one has already been injured.

Looks like all test top orders are struggling to make runs these days. To my old fart eyes, the batting techniques are hopeless, the feet go nowhere and most batsmen can't play the moving ball.
They've got more shots, but less "technique" if that makes any sense. The scourge of T20 cricket?
It makes Kohli and Williamson stand out even more (Steve Smith is the outlier there)
