Not anymore. Newlands is the wettest place in South Africa. Yes that suburb for some strange region gets wetter than a 80 year old virgin at a dildo convention. So in the mornings there will be always assistance and with the new ball anything just over a 100 is a good score. Whatever you do bat 2nd and make sure you face the new ball later in the day. Doing so in the mornings results in scores of 96 all out, 47 all out and 45 all out. Also you need a accurate seemer who goes wicket to wicket. Like Philander who is not the fastest but very accurate and consistent line which he bowls almost the whole day. You will note the runs are mostly scored when the pitch has dried out . Just a interesting fact Newlands is not near a ocean. Ok Cape Town is coastal but its about 25 km's away from the sea. What it basically have is a school, the breweries, the rugby field, a old farts club for grumpy viagra users as well as huge public swimming pools. The rest is shops and mauls.
