Think that Bavuma might receive my South African ire when Duminy is dropped. Offers up a hatful of chances.

wonder if we will see SA enforce the follow-on today or just have another exercise in padding stats whilst delaying the inevitable

Should find out soon. I'd guess they'll bat.

Highly unlikely. . Duminy will keep his place. Bavuma will make way for de Villiers barring injury and the second innings if there is one. .

Sri Lanka 131 all out. Destroyed by the pace quartet. Rabada and Philander with three wickets each. Oliver and parnell with two wickets each . All four pacers contributed. Rumours of the death of South African cricket have been greatly exaggerated.

Apologies to mark Twain.

That's a good reason to do that. If I had a pound I'd put it on them not doing it though.

Sent it to Rich1uk, Sheffield, Near Building Works.

Surprised Big Vern only has 158 Test wickets, given how long he's been around. He has the best average of any SA bowler to take 150 wickets. Never seems to have much ATG vibe, but he's in that kind of company. Maybe he needs to get up to 250 wickets.
