As I write this South Africa have played out 6 consecutive maiden overs in their bid to save this Test match at Georgetown. Overall South Africa have now scored 117 runs in 82 overs 40 of which have been maidens.
I hope that South Africa go on to lose - clearly, they had failed to take this Test match seriously. First they thought that with the West Indies playing a B team, they would run them over. Then they thought that with 543 runs on the board they could easily play out a draw on a flat track. Now after being humiliated into a follow-on, I guess they must be thinking that with the rains around the corner they should be able to escape with a draw. I hope they lose. For some reason, I hate the South African team. Cocky individuals who think too much of themselves. Especially pleased that Jacques Kallis is having such a horror test - after being decimated while bowling, he was out second ball !!! Still batting in the second innings though.
We have already see India's effort to play out for a draw by entertaining maidens come unstuck. Let's see if the Proteas succeed in wooing them.
