jmothecat Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Huge cheer from Bairstow. Well deserved. He's a team player and deserves this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 He's plugged away quietly while Stokes has been clubbing it everywhere, played an excellent innings. Fastest 300 partnership in Test match history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 This is just tremendous. One of the best day's play in recent English batting history. Almost as fun as seeing Australia all out for 60. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

booitsme7 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Desperate reviewed by SA. This partnership is now 350. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Desperate reviewed by SA. This partnership is now 350. Saying on commentary they only did it because they expect a declaration soon. For that reason alone, England shout bat on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Jonny Bairstow absolutely ripping the piss out of Rabada, taking a baseball stance! Now the highest 6th inning partnership in test history. Edited January 3, 2016 by Savage Henry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Dropped catch! Goes for four. Edit: he just missed the ball completely I think. Should have caught that. Edited January 3, 2016 by jmothecat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonLichtie Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 If the forecast is decent enough for the next few days, I don't see why England shouldn't bat until at least tea, and potentially even bat the full day - 3 days to get an utterly demoralised SA out in would surely be enough? Terrible run out there - very silly.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Stokes run out, after another missed catch. 259. Incredible innings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hilariously bad wicket, but 629/6 dec. Now to see how the SA batting goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booitsme7 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Brilliant day 2 so far for England (Stokes & Bairstow) lets hope it carries on now with Jimmy and the bowlers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Brilliant day 2 so far for England (Stokes & Bairstow) lets hope it carries on now with Jimmy and the bowlers. I think it will. The whole team will be buzzing I reckon. South Africa look demoralised. It will be interesting to see how the South African batsmen approach this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
