Must say I was impressed by Bell yesterday I would love him to make that number three slot his own..

if only we could somehow combine ian bell's natural talent with paul collingwood's mental steel.

What about the one and only Derek Randall, eccentirc, the first electric fielder, and once stopped a riot in Pakistan with his acrobatics, and a true gentleman..doffing his cap to a Lillie bouncy!

this be true, bourne- mouthy. In my opinion, i just do not think that kp has it in him, & if & when he fails, just watch how the attitudes will change.

A lot will depend on Morne Morkel's bowling today. I hope he is the inspiration Saffas need in the morning session.

He needs to get the ball bounce with pace.

The forecast looks bright and sunny however tomorrow will be a different day with rain forecasted.

missed anything interesting?

Just noticed Mendis got another five-fer for SL. Not seen him bowl yet, what's his action like?

"Just noticed Mendis got another five-fer for SL"

His worst bowling analysis so far in tests is 4/92! He has yet to take less than 4 in an innings, and he has bowled in 5 innings so far!

He is a remarkable player but I think over the very long run, batsmen will read him a little better than they read Murali. Currently the number 2 spinner in the world in my book (comfortably), and will probably join the Warne/Murali "super-spinner" axis come the end of his career.

GenesisTub,

i've seen some videos on youtube and he looks very very hard to read. he's got so many variations. but then again, he might be another saqlain mushtaq who, once because readable, drifted into the wilderness...

How about some praise for our Captain K.P. and a few apologies would not come amiss
