What a wonderful interview with Jonny Bairstow there.
Ian Ward asking the right questions and Jonny very eloquent and honest in his replies. Credit to the Bairstow family |

Lovely innings by Stokes, but to be fair, that looked a bit of a small ground.

even on a bigger ground it would just have meant most of the 6s only going 10 rows back instead of 20 rows what a weird day of test cricket that was , 450+ runs scored in just over 80 overs, 3 wickets fell and 2 of those were runouts |

fairly sedate start today , couple of false shots that just fell short of catchers but not much happening with bat or ball
this really is the big partnership we have to break |

Anderson dropped a catch. Not a real easy one but catchable.
Amla has his ton so well done to him. |

I wonder has there been an occasion before when all of the outfield players (bar the wicket keeper) have bowled at least one over??

When things are not going well, our attack with 4 right arm medium fast bowlers and one right arm off spinner does not provide much variety.
Where are the left armers or the wily leg spinner ? |

was a little surprised there was just so little in the pitch today
i thought the SA bowlers were pretty poor against us and had hoped we would learn from the poor lengths they bowled but just got nothing to happen really a draw wont be a terrible result as far as the series is concerned as newlands has been a pretty good venue for SA over the years |

hard to get motivated to comment when the game looks to be just meandering to a draw
almost 2/3 of the way through the game in terms of time and only 9 wickets are down might have been different if we had held on to some catches i suppose edit : only bright side is i have both of these in my fantasy team |

I think my suggestion yesterday on twitter and another forum that england declared early was spot on lol.
Quite weird saying this but the longer england batted in the first innings would have given them more time getting 20 wickets lol. Doubt many would get it here, and not bothered to explain it fully now. Although the key point is that if england scored more in the first innings, england wouldn't need to bat in the 3rd innings barring resting bowlers. Basically declaring early cost england 50-70 overs which could have been the difference between a win and a draw. especially when you considering batting should be the toughest on day 4/5. hard to blame cook considering I only saw this yesterday after the event. |
