Bangladesh v South Africa, 1st Test, Dhaka, 22-26 Feb

'first to lose a test to the Bangers...'

Yeah, I can see the implication on that.

Cockhead.

We all know the Bangers have won against the Zimbots, but have never beaten a non-minnow . . . so when speaking about the "first to lose," of course the implication is there.

Closet Freo supporter!

So Gibbs hasn't toured? Do the Saffies go to India after Bangladesh?

Gibbs was dropped for the tests.

Can anyone update me with the scores?

Bangers 192, SAf 4-76 when bad light stopped play on Day 1. Prince 9*, Botha 5*.

Thanks Skulls

A sad day for Test Cricket - another chucker makes the grade

So who was that Augustus, a Banger? I haven't seen any coverage.

Um, A subi pitch perchance?

He's on about Botha. Not sure. Haven't seen his remodelled action. To be fair, he will be the first chucker to have remedial action that actually works.

Surprised red isn't here, creaming his jeans.

Jebus, from what I've seen (from the just passed Saffie season), Botha looks just as dodgy as he did when he got bounced.

They all do IMO, not sure what I find worse - the fact that people don't have to do any remedial action or the fact that the ones that do come back just as bad. Kirtley's possibly done the best... only in slo-mo does he look like he chucks. To me, it's just getting overlooked... it's plain to see, especially with high motion - Bhajji in sleeves during the World T20 looked about 25 degrees to me, it's right bang in front of everybody and no-one even murmurs.

The bloke pelts it more than most,

His action is filthy! Remedial action or not its embarrassing. Only saving grace is he is fooking sheet!

Five for Morkel. Only against the Bangers, yes, but bloody hell he looks a good bowler. I can hardly wait till the summer.

Also, I didn't see it, but can I hazard a guess that Smith was bowled through the gate by one coming back into him?

Aye. Pretty much the way I see it.

RAfique now only 4 wickets away from 100 in tests.

Huzzah and LOL.

Bang 192
Sth Af 7/158 atm

Odd looking wicket, sort of bluish grey in colour.

AB caught off a ball that bounced twice.

Sth Af 8/158 at lunch, trail by 34

I stepped into a better time machine to predict the future than Dello did. His just took him into the Parallel Universe.

May I remind that Saffies bat last against Super Rafique and co. on this minefield of a pitch?
Bangars should try and give them 300 at least. Will it happen? Will we see Saffies collapse to 150 odd or less batting last?

Are the Bangers the anti-team? No one averages over 40 with the bat or under 40 with the ball.
