Kudos to Neser for bouncing back in the last session. It’s symptomatic of the difference between the two teams.

Biggest difference between the two teams. One team has shown an ability to adjust the conditions (yes it is home) and situation of the game and perform.

The other team has shown a lack of ability to adjust to the conditions (lack of preparation?) and the situation and that is reflective in under performance.

One team can leave the egos at the door the other well their hubris will probably cost them a series that their talent says their more than capable of winning.

Is it a fine if you double quote yourself?

But we’ll done Neser was aggressive in his intent to put the ball in the right areas and crest pressure then the dam broke and he got his reward
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

I’m struggling to recall a better display of pure wicket keeping in almost 50 years of watching test cricket. Bob Taylor at Sydney keeping up to the stumps in 82-83 to Botham was outstanding but for length of time up to stumps and clean-ness of his hands, well if someone can recall better ‘keeping happy to be corrected.
