In a 1997 documentary about Lord's, Richie Benaud described the Adelaide Oval as the prettiest cricket ground in the world. One wonders how he would have described Newlands.

If I ever get to the point where I just have a whole bunch of disposable income and no idea what to spend it on I think I might just do a 12-18 month long trip watching cricket at the great venues of the world. I can’t think of anything better to see out my latter days when, doubtless, lung cancer or a complete lack of life fulfilment start to whittle away the hours I have left and urgency forces me to actually do something meaningful.

Take a picnic rug to the Basin, watch a game at Newlands and maybe Port Elizabeth or Wanderers.
Kensington Oval or QPO, sit on the Fort at Galle drinking Singha and get silly listening to the waves. Dharamsala

Can’t believe they didn’t review that. Looked umpire’s call at worst

Agree, looked adjacent. Temba is having shocker with his decision=making. You can argue it shows that umpire's call is flawed because they make quite a few mistakes themselves.

The ball shot out to the offside like a pinball, and the batsman looked guilty as shit trying to get his leg out of the way: captains need to get better at reading those cues

He cost the young bloke a wicket there.

100 per cent. It was a really good ball, angled in, straightened; not sure he was trying to do it as such but it was well bowled nonetheless.

For all that I am guessing that the nerves of him being 18 probably prevented him being as forceful about it as he otherwise might have been if it was Rabada or someone in demanding they review it.

Pakistan could make South Africa bat again, which would feel like a moral victory for the tourists.

The deficit is under 100 now with 7 poles in hand so most likely. Not unsurprising given the benign conditions and tiring attack at the time of enforcement.

Rabada just claimed another victim just after the new cherry was taken.

That was a ball tearer from young Maphaka.

They got him one this time.

That was a great captain’s knock by Masood.

Feel for him and he’s blowing up at the projection but he doesn’t have much of a case. Understandably emotional when you’re doing the best you can to carry your team.

 

[010203]

Don't know what Masood was complaining about. He would have seen the ball hit him in line with the stumps.

God this bloke is poetry

A+ from the supersport cameramen straight after the drinks break.

So, we cop SA in the WTC thing.

When’s our next series v the Saffers??

We haven’t played them in forever.

lol you played them the summer before last mate.

 

[PhatBoy]

I think this is a bit high

 

[Stig O'Hara]

We should play them more.

 

[010203]

I wonder if fans of other countries sook up when on field calls are upheld via umpire's call like they do here.

 

[010203]

Bit closer than the earlier one but the right on field call was made twice by Dharmasena who should have been umpiring here instead of Joel Wilson.

They were here two summers ago.

Pakistan are into the lead now but they only have a few wickets left, still a good achievement to at least avoid an innings defeat .

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Still don't think Hawkeye has worked out the bounce for spinners
