Can the impossible happen? Surely not. Get ahead by about 100 at lunch on the 5th day and get two quick wickets then watch England panic. It won't happen but it would make a great watch

I have never been a fan of Morkel, he comes across as an absolute village idiot. All potential/talent and no brains.

I hope all the English batsmen go out the same way. Our bowlers pitch it on the same mark where Broad kicked the pitch (yes nowhere near a good length either side), still just terrible sportsmanship. Not the pitch fault your team dropped 10 or so catches...

You so right. Remember when SA had them 9 down and he kept bowling outside off and short. Onions survived and England got a draw. Match was also at Newlands

Superb knock by Temba Bavuma I thought that he did not have it but I was wrong. A day that he will remember for the rest of his life, well done

Agreed Chicken. I also had many doubts. And I thought Morris also did very well. I did say he was not a test player. I'm still not entirely convinced, but he did blady well, and has also gone along way to cementing his place. A good bowling performance next test, and he has a spot. Been a while since we have had a tail that can "wag"...

I must say I thought Bavuma was superb and that has to be one of the most memorable innings.The pressure he was under was immense.
History making,the first black South African to score a ton.

Chicken,any groan about the wicket.
Boycott could bat for 5 days on that.

Nothing wrong with the wicket as your boys dropped 10 catches.

I thought with both teams declaring after their 1st innings that eluded to an easy batting surface with nothing in it for both sets of bowlers turning it into a stalemate.
Is Newlands normally a no result wicket.
