Well, did we do well in the cricket today or not
When they were 100+ for 1 I was fearing the worst but we came back in the afternoon and evening to get them 7 down but a stubborn little partnership at the end leaves the Saffers on 267 for 7 I thought we could have rolled them over for 250 the way it was going at one stage and that would have been great as they won the toss and chose to bat.
I suppose it all depends on how quickly we get them out in the morning and then how we perform with the bat I reckon we'll have them out for less than 300 (we bloody should do anyway) but the big problem is our inability to get a decent platform from the openers whoever we choose to put with Captain Cook he always seems to fail anyway just lately
On the bright side, Steyn failed a fitness test and does not play
