A spin option may have been useful as time goes by in this test.
who do you drop though? Rachindra at 7? Drop Mitchell?
Or CDG probably don’t need his wee meds.
The wkt is flat and slower so will take turn latter.
Too much of the same coming at SA. -

Too many 'Nam flashbacks from Bay Oval of the opposition innocuously building up the scorecard. Markram has somehow scored more than his recent average (something like 9 in his last ten Test innings).
Pitch better play like this outfield in the second innings:
-
Henry should have retired at the end of the last test.
He'll be chasing the dragon for the rest of his career

love wags

Two set players gooone Henry strikes at the other end

More info for those of us without stream!
so here you go ..without cricinfo it would go something like this..
Wags beats his chest and comes charging in.. bangs in one enticing the drive and Markram thought he was set and decided to drive and a big edge goes to the slips, Wagner celebrates in typical style where his face goes red after roaring... the crowd go wild and chant his name pleading for him to be immortalized and a statue of gold be erected in his honour.
lol ..Then Henry chips in at the other end..

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

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.

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)
