    Tintin is right. You said he was the first ever black African to score a test century and he's not. For example Tatenda Taibu is a black African who's already made a test century for Zimbabwe. There may well be others.

    Basically Bavuma is the first ethnically black African to score a hundred for SA, not the first Black African. Saying he's the first black African to score a test hundred is wrong. That was all I was getting at. I think that's right anyway <laugh>

    It really depends on whether De Villiers is committed to test cricket in the long term.

    Really sad news again with two cricketing deaths this week. Former Warwickshire bowler Tim/Tom Allin found dead at the base of a bridge in Devon. Saddened when both Holden and Allin had so much to live for. RIP Matthew and Tim/Tom.

    Sounds like Hobden fell asleep on a roof while stargazing and when he woke up he was disorientated and fell off a roof. What a tragedy. :(

    Deaths are not uncommon when guns are fired in the air (usually at weddings)....bullets coming back down can be lethal.

    South Africa win toss and bat. Lucky as their wicket keeper pulled out injured and the reserve hasn't got to the ground on time!
