The pitch is also a bit sportier than initially thought.
If we get a lead on the first innings it would be a massive massive plus as I don’t see it being great to bat on on days 4 and 5.

hes bowled alright to a pretty defensive field without ever offering a threat, pretty sure Root has no faith in any spinners mind

certainly cracked up at one end and drier than you want by this stage, cant see there being a day 5!

This is a tough watch. Scratchy batting, average bowling, questionable tactics and poor umpiring (no balls). I don't understand what these international umpires are looking at. Alot of these are Amir level no balls!

Clearly wont be everyones cup of tea (when has he been) but KP a breath of fresh air to listen to in the comm box for me, more insight in a couple of minutes than you get from most of them in a day

Yup. I think he's been brilliant. Dare I say a player ahead of his time.
really, he just likes the sound of his own voice, i thought he was as bad as Ntini TBH

No chance. Ntini is bloody awful and is sometimes unintelligible.
KP is brilliant and has been since he started up in the BBL a few years ago

really yes, hes talked clearly about tactics, about players strengths and weaknesses, about how he would be approaching situations and looking to improve rather than the banal fence sitting rubbish that is there 99% of the time
comparing him to ntini, lol
i don't agree, i think he's pretty terrible, most of the others are pretty bad too apart from Atherton, he's def the best IMO

Atherton ?! I guess it must be a taste thing but KP seems very good - Atherton - dull a dishwater

Showed what happens when you bowl test match line and length not just bounced after bouncer from 80-85 mph bowlers
And a special mention to Ben stokes standing stupidly close at second slip taking 4 catches in the day

Was genuinely pleasantly surprised yesterday, thought he offered real insight.
Missed most of the day today, just caught the end and Curran interview, seemed a good day. Will hopefully catch a bit more tomorrow.
My folks are out there and seem to have nabbed some excellent seats

Having watched test cricket at Newlands I can comfortably endorse its credentials. It is a magnificent ground.
Decent fight back from England. Need an early wicket tomorrow but a definite chance to nick a lead. Then need to bat properly second time around
