We should have signed a bowler. I can't see how we're going to take 20 wickets in a match very often.
I'm not quite as pessimistic as you Tom. It will be about bowlers staying fit. Topley and Edwards with Wheal at first change could be very good with Berg a possible 3/4th seamer or Crane replacing Wheal when it turns and Dawson providing slow left arm.
South Africa thrashed Australia by an innings and 80 runs in Hobart to win the three-Test series with a match to spare. It is South Africa's third successive Test series win in Australia, following victories in 2008-09 and 2012-13. Resuming on 121-2, Australia lost 8-32 inside 20 overs as they were bowled out for 161 on the fourth morning. "I am embarrassed. We've lost five Tests in a row and that's humiliating," said Australia captain Steve Smith. Oh dear , how sad , never mind
Watching test this morning, very good to see, and quite prominent, a St George flag with 'Pride of Hampshire' on it with 'Saints away' in one corner and the club crest in another.
If the pitch turns, we could be on to a loser. Otherwise another draw on the cards....a big prediction on day 1.
I hate run outs...unnecessary. However, all experience for Hameed.....he is quite a find. Played with adults at twelve and wasn't allowed to play for his school in his last year as he ruined it for everyone else.
