If they do manage to win this match, where will Bavuma rank in South African test captains?
He’s gotten better with the bat since becoming captain and has won games with far less cattle than previous protea captains.

Ohh, that feels like the first ✨moment✨ in this match. A session of Head and South Africa might never recover.
Wonderfully poised at lunch.

Oft. Rabada and Jansen have come to play. This has been some kind of opening spell.

Aside from lower nations playing more games, I think the best change to the World Test Championship would be to rotate the final venue to the previous winners nation.

I don’t want to hear any arguments against this final. The test championship is the best thing that’s happened to test cricket in a generation.
It provides the format with relevance and a goal. South Africa have managed, against all odds to make the final this time.

I think Bangladesh took that home loss to Zimbabwe personally…
Every aspect of their game that failed in the first test delivered in the second. Taijul in the wickets, Shadman and Mehidy with hundreds and good fielding helped them topple the disappointing Zimbabwe team.

It ends with a whimper, I’m not entirely sure what Pakistan learnt on this tour except that they need to be more disciplined in the white ball format
Too often they were getting caught, too often their bowlers would stray in line and length. They need to find their confidence

So ends a strange old summer for the kiwis with a shocker of a test series against England, a history making 3-0 win in India then a dominant white ball series vs Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Add to that a final appearance in the champions trophy and it’s not a terrible 6 months.

This has truly been a summer of discovery for New Zealand as they have blooded players and found depth that I don’t even think they thought they had.
Important innings from Hay and Abbas and a great bowling performance as O’Rourke, Duffy, Smith and Sears took control.

GT v MI
The IPL comes at you quickly and Mumbai are finding that out the hard way right now. 0-2 and they have looked a bit off the pace so far. Poor performances from key players, Rohit, Hardik and Mujeeb stung them against a Titans team that responded well to their loss.

This might be the year that RCB finally get their shit together? They have the power in their lineup and the perennially underestimated Hazlewood has been the form quick bowler in the first few games. David as a finisher also gives them something in the last 4 overs.

So great to see Muhammad Abbas get his chance in the blackcaps squad. A genuinely solid player who can play in any format for this team. Hopefully he’s done enough to show he’s worth the investment at the top level.

Well, here we go again. The Pakistanis were at the mercy of the kiwis in the first 10 overs and although the recovered somewhat, they need to react quicker in these games. It only takes 2 bad overs to lose a game in T20, Pakistan generally seem to have 5 a game.
