Second Test vs South Africa

[mighty_tiger_79]

Rules are the same for both teams, so it's not a huge issue I wouldn't have thought regardless of which side of the fence you sit with the runner rule.

I agree, I think it's fair for both, unless your going to let bowlers be substituted then batsmen shouldn't get runners

bowlers get subbed - when a bowler goes off after 1 delivery another bowler finishes his over!

Great bowling by Siddle, 2 bouncers in a row to Kallis and he was in massive pain trying to duck them.
Keep the short stuff coming Siddle

[Sky Pilot]

Keep Kallis out there for longer, these singles cant be helping his injury.
Big chance of him doing more damage and missing Perth

Yep, good strategy.

How good does Viv still look, looks fit enough to still play.
He is giving a masterclass at the tea break, can wait to see it, absolute champion

But that player then is effectively out of the game, where a batsmen using a runner is still fairly effective with the runner advantage.

If a keeper gets injured his not allowed to have someone run up to the stumps with gloves on to take the ball while the batsmen run, they have to make do with what's out there

If a Batsman goes off another batsman resumes the over in the same manner

Siddle has been edged through 3rd slip 4 times in 3 overs yet we persist with only 2 slips
