Proteas vs West Indies Day 1 Review

 


The 2nd test between South Africa and West Indies started yesterday and the West Indies won the toss and chose to bowl first. 

The West Indies made a good start as they restricted South Africa to 37/3. before South Africa fought back with a partnership of 87 between Elgar and Verreynne and then a partnership of 79 between Elgar and de Kock. 

The first session of the day belonged to West Indies as they went to Lunch having reduced the visitors to 44/3. In that session, South Africa lost the wickets of Markram, Peterson and Van der Dussen. 

The second session went to South Africa as they scored 81 runs for the loss of the wicket of Verreynne. Elgar and Verreynne steadily built their partnership as they took their team out of trouble.

The third session also went to South Africa as they scored a further 93 runs for the loss of Elgar's wicket as they ended what turned to be a good day for them on 218/5. Elgar and De Kock batted very well together as they pushed South Africa to what is looking like a good first innings total.

The scorecard looked like this

Proteas 218/5 82 overs

Elgar 77 (237)                                                                   S. Gabriel 2-47 (12)

de Kock 59 (103)                                                              K. Mayers 1-24 (11)

  India vs New Zealand is where the focus of most cricket lovers is right now as both teams get ready to clash in the final of the world test championship. With the final set to happen in England at the Southampton cricket ground both teams are planning r they will make their way to England considering the testing times we in. Both teams will have to go into a quarantine of 10 to 14 days after reaching England before they can start practicing. New Zealand will be going to England before the end of this month as they have a test series against the English starting on the second of June. India, on the other hand, will only reach England on the 2nd of June in order this giving them enough time to carry out their quarantine and also gives them about 6 days of practice ahead of the WTC final.  Everyone is saying New Zealand will have an advantage going into the WTC final cause their players will have had some game time where Indian players would only have net practice and inter-squ...

Proteas vs India 2nd test Day 1 review

  The second test match between Proteas and India kicked off on a high note with the hosts putting up a horrendous batting performance on day 1. The Proteas team won the toss and elected to bat first, but they failed to make the most of the opportunity as the Indian bowlers wreaked havoc on the home team's batting line-up bowling them out for 55. Mohammed Siraj was the chief destroyer with 6 wickets for 15 runs in 9 overs. He was equally supported by Mukesh and Bumrah both taking 2 wickets each.  The Indian team lost their first wicket early on, with Jaiswal departing for a duck. The rest of the top-order batsmen struggled to get going as well, and the team was bowled out for 153. However, a brilliant counter-attacking innings from Markram helped the home team to 62-3 at stumps to steady the ship.  It was an excellent day for bowlers on both sides as 23 wickets fell for 270 runs.  The Proteas bowlers, led by Rabada and Lungi Ngidi, were impressive after t...

There have been some great performances through the season with both divisions going into the last round with 3 teams still having a chance to win the tournament.  Division 2 was most dominated by Northern Cape Heat for the first couple of rounds until the loss to South Western Districts in beating Northern Cape South Western Districts kept their hopes alive as well as the Tuskers going into the last round any of these 3 could have been crowned champions.
