An Epic Fail

Yesterday was a day of madness.

The South African and Australian batsmen batted as if they were walking on a minefield. 

I don't know what Shane Watson and Vernon Philander consumed before bowling, but I would seriously consider that they are tested after the match.

But headlines like 'Maniac Day' and 'Gods Must be Crazy' defined what the day at Cape Town was about.

There was nothing wrong with the wicket. It was a second day wicket, though someone may raise issues after the match ends.

Thankfully, the day of collapse was on November 10, so there are no 11.11.11 jokes floating around.

South Africa look as if they're going to win this one. Smith and Amla were playing beautifully at the end of the day, but you can never tell with Australia.

It's a pity that it's a two-match series.

And that is, as tweeters would say, an #EpicFail.
