South Africa v Bangladesh, 1st Test, Bloemfontein, Nov 19-23

Either Ashraful makes a double ton or I'm not watching.

Rasel out injured, replaced by Islam.

Oh shit no!!

Razzaq won't play either as he won't be back in time from Australia after having his 'chucking' looked at. He can't get to Bloemfontein on time.

Where does Hashim Amla fit in?

Mortaza has been battling a back injury but is expected to be fit.

Thats a tough question, I wouldn't ask Dean Jones to answer that question though personally.

The match should be over in about 3 days.

Nah, I think SA will put up a good fight

Dem, I see you are still the demented person I know.

Over in 3 sessions probably.

I know everyone is interested so . . . Bangladesh have won the toss and are fielding.

Rain

Smith and Amla looking good.

smith in with a chance for getting the record of most runs in a calendar year. needs 500 more runs in this match plus one more against the bangles and two against aus

Bangladesh should be allowed to tamper with the ball, if they choose. Picking at the seam, scuffing the rough side with a bottle cap/dirt/razor, polishing the shiny side with beeswax, occasionally surreptitiously replacing it with a large brick...

How else are they going to compete?

get ponting to captain the other team?

299/1 on Day One. Just another day at the office for the Bangers, unfortunately.

Why the hell did they go off for light? Partnership of nearly 200, both Smith and Amla got 100+*.

Are they seriously worried about a collapse to a mere 400 all out? Stay out, pile them on.

Perhaps even the batsmen got tired of smacking the ball around.

Or, a tearful Ashraful may have slipped a few crisp currency notes to Smith, just outside the edge of your TV screen.

Or no one GAF, not the players, not the umpires, not the spectators, not the Seth Effricans, not the Bangers.

And at this rate the Seth Effrican bats will be knifing each other just to get a go out there.

Ahh I so want Bangladesh to do well, can only be good for the game.

Unfortunately their test attack is so toothless that even dentures wouldnt help.
