Batting flops against Sri Lanka first test - Elgar and Amla

Elgar was out for a duck caught behind and on came Amla.   Third ball bowled at him Amla was plumb LBW.   The umpire thought there was a nick.   

The Sri Lanka's calls for a review after 13 seconds - the rule is that the time allowed for a review request is 15 secondsand the umpires made a mistake by not allowing the review.   The Subsequent TV review  proved he was plumb and there was no bat involved.   

Sri Lanka was done in by the umpires - and Amla was another flop.  A few overs later Amla is out caught behind for 3 runs after facing 10  balls.   

Cannot say I did not warn members.    Amla will be like a hare in the headlights against better world class bowlers in the WC.   

Markram is also out - for 11 runs clean bowled.   The score is now 17/3  What a farce.    

Faf out in the last innings - the score is now 89/4.   Lat recognized batsman (De Kock is to bat after lunch,  

South Africa all out for 235 of which De Kock made 80 runs.   We know by now that the orc wants  De Kock out of the SA team - his campaign has been on the go for more 5 years now/

Philander is not what he used to be anymore,   Expensive and his bowling pace has gone down by circa 10 kmh,   He was the weakest SA bowler against Pakistan when he did bowl for SA in the final test and thus far today he was not any better.
