I can't stand the Poms but that was scintillating to watch I must say.

Sheezuz!!! That sounds like one hell of an innings mate

Yeah mate it was. I think he was 72no from around 100 balls overnight and was out for 258 from 196 not long after lunch. I think he hit 130 in the session before lunch and was just about hitting a 6 or 4 a ball for most of the day before Bairstow also got into the action as well they put on a Test record stand for the 6th wicket only a couple of weeks after Voges & Marsh put on a Test record stand for the 4th wicket. The poor old bowlers are really copping it at the moment mate with these bats, the smaller boundaries etc

always been fond of the English so happy to see it. He needs to be consistent and learn not to get out in stupid ways. Even in this innings, whom hits the ball miles in the air and then gets run out after the catch is dropped? It is little league cricket. As you say BH, the Africans are a bit under manned in their bowlling.
