All those Franchise players out there that think Test Cricket is a joke… beware!! Its unlike any!! Different level. No comparison at all!! — Alviro Petersen (@AlviroPetersen) January 3, 2016

True or false: if you replaced the entire sa line up with a sock puppet, a single sock puppet, the score would be roughly the same.

Sometimes a loose pebble can trigger an avalanche. Wonder sometimes how much the forced team change ahead of the WC semi is affecting SA.

England only going at 5 an over in this session. Bored. #SAvENG — England’s Barmy Army (@TheBarmyArmy) January 3, 2016

If Stokes bats as long as Cook did in Abu Dhabi he will score 1,036 — Simon Wilde (@swildecricket) January 3, 2016

Every run Stokes scores is a knife through #SA hearts, a reminder of the allround quality they no longer possess. #SAvENG — Dileep Premachandran (@SpiceBoxofEarth) January 3, 2016

I am no cricket expert just a fan. But the last year has been confused, disjointed and poor from Proteas. — Brenden Nel (@BrendenNel) January 3, 2016
