Well that's the theory anyhow. . England 142-6 now which is a slight recovery Bairstow and Moeen Ali doing ok . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but you have got to think England would have gone way past 700 and still had three days or more to bowl them out, and could have selected very attacking fields. Of coarse you then have to hold you catches, have we really missed TEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Unusual occurrence in South Africa's first innings - all 11 batsmen scored double figures, yet nobody managed a 50. I'm willing to bet that hasn't happened very often in the entire history of test cricket. Checking: It is absolutely unique. This is the 13th occasion that all batsmen have made double figures at least, and on 7 or 8 occasions at least one player has made a century, and on all other occasions, at least one player has made a half century.

eddie Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 If Bairstow gets going tomorrow morning, with 27 overs until the new ball can be taken, there could be carnage. On the other hand, South Africa could bounce back, just like they did in the second test. They were mighty relieved when bad light sent the teams off - chance to re-group.
