One thing that tore my hair out for years is WA would produce some great one day and T20 players, only to choke year after year in the Shield... happier now it got rectified

So they swallow instead?

Quinton was just hit in...de Kock.

Cricket is so much more interesting when batting is a challenge.

This SA/Ind Test is a bit extreme - some balance is required and a match likely to be over by tea on Day 2 isn't what is wanted - but everyone was talking about it today and I bet more than usual are watching it now. Broadcasters and sponsors want more content, but this is a lot of fun.

Imagine the balance being the other way? SA win toss, bat first on a road and are 1/400 at stumps on Day 1. No one cares.

I reckon he was commentating in Aus for 15 or so years. Who does he work for now?

India need 79 to win but is anybody confident they can do it?

I think he’s bit of a cricket network floater.

South Africa is bleeding money when it comes to internationals, particularly for tests. 20-20s and Indian short-form tours are the only ways they make any decent money.
