[color=rgb(35, 35, 35)][size=14px]"We as batters know where we score runs, if we spend the required time out there we will score the runs," said Ramdin.[/size][/color]
[color=rgb(35, 35, 35)][size=14px]"We will back ourselves and be as positive as we can and get as close to their total as possible."[/size][/color]

he shudda bat on winning the toss if he had any confidence in west indies batting.  the impse is hypocrite..just talking though his side of mout'

246 - 4

65.3
Morkel to Brathwaite, OUT, and another! An opening for South Africa? One brings two, both century-makers back in the hutch as Brathwaite drives at a delivery that wasn't full enough for the shot and he gets a healthy edge to second slip who takes it at knee height

Brathwaite c Petersen b Morkel  106


64.6
Philander to Samuels, OUT, he's gone! But Samuels calls for the review. No-ball is fine, it was a full delivery which he played across. Heading leg-side, but it's been given on the field. Tailed back into Samuels. Just clipping leg stump, so he's a goner. South Africa have their breakthrough at last.

MN Samuels lbw b Philander  101

255 - 4 after 72 overs

Shiv 5 , Ramdin 17

260 - 5

DRS  gives a marginal lbw to Ramdin !

261 - 6

74.3
Imran Tahir to Chanderpaul, Shiv went to defend on the back foot. Played with soft hands,

another googly, and the ball drops down by his feet then spins back between his legs

to dribble into the stumps.

It will just say 'bowled' in the book.

Shiv b Imran Tahir 7

265 - 7

75.1
Morkel to Holder, OUT, A length ball outside off, Holder neither forward or back and gets a thin outside

edge to de Villiers. Regulation stuff.

JO Holder c †de Villiers b Morkel 1

270 - 8 after 77 overs

76.6
Imran Tahir to Benn, he's got three now! Benn couldn't hold back. Another googly, the left hander

went for a big slog and got an outside edge which looped nicely to slip

Bennaayy c Petersen b Imran 4

275 - 9

Kenroy run out for Duck !

But with that rain stops play again. A sharp shower has blown in.

That will stall South Africa for now, but what a session for them since tea.

Five wickets in no time.

west indies love a collapso.  collapso is bacchanal!  we own kind ah ting.  watch we fall like ten pins and clap and laff harder at we own the more we tumble :

a kind of therapy I guess..a way to stay sane in a life of horror.
