Yep, how about not bowling 2ft wide of the stumps or a foot over the batsmans head. Atleast Abbott had a crack, Philander was garbage and that crap by Duminy was shocking

[Jim05]

Why didnt Smith bowl himself in his last test. From what ive seen of him before he is a better option than Elgar or Duminy

[dedja]

Sweep time ... 5 down at stumps methinks

[Jim05]

4 down
Smith not to make double figures

[tigerpie]

No offence but the only people who know pitches are the blokes who make em....mostly.
Cricketers have no idea lol

No offence, but anyone with half a brain can tell a flat wicket when they see one.

Correct.
I'm talking pre coin toss.
No brainer once you're on it.

Well we weren't talking about Pre coin toss. Talking about today's pitch report.

And 99% of the time the players know what the pitch will do Pre coin toss.

Ha bollocks!
Not in my experience.
