Maybe, 'not' so balanced... ?

What a dream debut for Roland-Jones. Poor batting by SA.

Roland-Jones 10.0 3 38 4 3.80

I could sleep tight with those figures.

Is it just me, or does Bavuma always seem to be one of the batsmen not out after a South Africa collapse?

Probably always at the non-strikers end when it matters.

This series reminds me of the 2015 Ashes series, where every test was one sided and ended 3-2 (to England, just reminding our Aussie members!)
This series is more up and down than Birmingham City and that's saying something

Would always prefer a balance with every game going down to the wire but not going to happen.

Mr Zimmerframe... ?

On that basis you must have loved the Ashes 2005 series then..?

To be fair I have been called a lot worse

Oh yes! Seems so weird now... ?

Not sure why that even seems to be a valid name or if it's an insult? The workings of a very disturbed mind (not Jen)... Yet?

Up and Birmingham City in the same sentence? What a paradox.

Was a great first innings, could've been a different story if Philander hadn't gone off with a stomach bug.

Okay, so apparently I'm not the only one who noticed that Bavuma seems to frequently be the only one getting a proper score while the rest of the team collapses. Cricinfo posted this on their FB page.
Watching him play, he's a real quality player who is much better than his Test average suggests.

No not really. His test average suits him perfectly.

He scores the occasional 50+ score when we're in trouble but doesn't do anything else. A failure to convert to 100s is also a reason why his average is so low.

At this point he's becoming Ian Ball (at the end of his career). Just scoring enough runs to be above the dropping list.

Sunny in London, game over...?

 

[Markkkkk]

Can't see us winning this game. Too late to ask Cook to come back?

 

[zimrahil]

England declared far too late, hopefully won't make a difference but why so negative ?

Amla in now and is the key wicket.
