Tbf SA do have an unfair advantage
There are 14 South Africans playing in this match
Think Amla is odds on to break Laras record here.
Only thing that can stop him is a ****ish declaration from Smith
250 up for Amla
They should be going Twenty20 mode after lunch. 129 lead. Another 150 off 20 overs should do it.
Amla. :wacko:
514-2 at lunch.
Amla is at least 47 times better than Trott ever has beenQuote:
BBC Test Match Special's Michael Vaughan
"Hashim Amla is one of those players that likes to bat and bat, a bit like Jonathan Trott. Once he gets in, he's hard to get out.

Hamza Bhatti on Twitter: "Amla was clean shaven when he started this innings."
:lol:
The thing about Amla is his average isn't really representative of his quality. He had a slow start to his career but since around 09 he has been phenomenal.
I would say Trott and Amla are about equal in quality. Cook and Strauss are much better than the SA openers too. But SA's middle order is awesome.
Id say Smith is better than both our openers tbh
Then again i only ever seen him play in England v England and hes got the best average other than Bradman against us.
No idea how he is against the rest
