I know only a leftist SJW would think there's a racist connotation with that comment.

The tv coverage is stressing that the highest score in the fourth innings to win at Durban is around 350. Just for the record, the highest score in the fourth innings at Durban was recorded by England in 1939:

654/5 -- Match Drawn -- they needed to catch the boat home to fight Hitler.

Gibb 120
Edrich 219
Hammond 140
Paynter 75
Hutton just 55, fortunately for the South Africans.

I'm just curious about the definition of heritage and upbringing, great to see it's now all about the upbringing.

Yeah good for you all good then hey - thought it would have been obvious it was having extensive NSW spinning wicket beginnings

3 big wickets falling for SA has pretty much destroyed the innings in Amla , De Villiers & DuPlessis - that's the backbone of any rearguard action

Agreed, an excellent follow up.

Fair dinkum Tim Paine doesn’t like to move for any knicks 1cm side of him!

A combination of some fine counter attacking batting by Markham and DeKock and some average bowling has given the Saffas a sniff here.

yeah getting a bit too close for comfort. new ball will be crucial.
