Quoteas vs Sri Lanka . . .

Faf du Plessis won the toss and thankfully chose to bat despite overcast conditions in Johannesburg.

Fast bowler Duanne Olivier gets a debut in place of Kyle Abbott who has effectively retired from international cricket. Don't know too much about him but will watch with interest.

I'm pretty sure this match will have a few rain interruptions. Jo'burg has had heavy rains for some weeks now and it's starting to build already. Hopefully it will hold off to late afternoon on most days but I reckon the smart money must be on a draw. I'll definitely be off to the Wanderers on Saturday and/or Sunday if there's a chance of a result.

Not a very good start for the Quoteas but it may not matter much because it's getting gloomier by the minute.

88/2 with Hash looking very uncomfortable in his 100th test.

Well done Hash!

A very gritty half century in his 100th test. Now make it a ton!

Well done #!

Dave, yes, looking forward to seeing Duanne Olivier in action.
I don't watch as much provincial cricket as I used to and I don't think there's ever been a test debutant who I've never even seen but this will be the first time I see him bowl. 
Hope he's got the goods because we need to replace Steyn and Morkel and now Abbott as well.
