    Oh dear…Boucher’s bowling. Oh dear - he’s got a wicket

    By Will 3 years ago, at the start of May Leave a comment on this post

    Oh. Dear. Mark Boucher bowled 3 balls (yes - Mark Boucher, the grumpy ‘keeper). One was waist-high. Second was even higher and no-balled. The 3rd was short and wide (at least it pitched), and Bravo hit it to Mid Off. He has his first, and probably last, Test wicket - and presumabely no bowling average yet, either!

    This waste-of-my-time-Test match has also broken the record of having the most hundreds in a Test (8).

    The West Indies did score an Airplane(747, geddit:) and they did make the South Africans bowl a lot of overs and give them plenty of punishment.

    What’s not to like?

    I was gonna post similar Scott - nothing better than watching Saffers suffer in the field. Also, there was an onfield spat between G.Smith and Wavell Hinds: Hinds was absolutely fuming, and I don’t yet know why (nor did the commentators). Much spitting and glaring - it was excellent viewing…
