Ah the declaration.....

Golden rule of playing on a slow deck is playing straight.

i thought lyon was really good today. the type of bowler you could be scared to bowl to a team setting up for a declaration, but he was tidy.

 

[Second Spitter]

MEW, delusional as ever.

aus to be 5/173 at stumps

aus to be 5/173 at stumps

1/200 according to MEW.

 

[benchmark00]

I can't see Ausalian getting within 200 or so of this total. Especially if SA come out and bowled like they did straight up after they were bowled out in the first innings.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Regardless of wickets. I find it difficult to see aus going at under 4 an over on this pitch.

 

[howardj]

SA to take out their slips if Aus. reach 0/30

 

[uvelocity]

haha steyny doing that look first ball

and second ball

Doolan and Marsh are both defensive players so if they spend any time at the wicket, run rate will go down

Steyn, one of the best wrist ****s in the game. All happens at the top.

lol.....it's funny cos it's true.

If you've watched Doolan at all in first class cricket you would know he's not a defensive player.

Don't get to watch him much because he gets out too early but he is very limited

 

[howardj]

Update...down to two slips...

Would have loved to see your face after the first test, and a massive, massive lol at you saying Doolan is very limited. He actually has more shots than all but about 2 or 3 batsmen in Australian cricket. You're just proving you actually haven't watched him at all outside of the three international innings he's played.

Terrific innings by SAPB btw. Real class.

south africa's premier beard

 

[benchmark00]

I'm missing Fat Tony & Co for this. This better be good. I don't pass up an opportunity to watch Madeline West often.

south africa to be 1/15 at stumps (elgar 12*, amla 3*, smith 0, johnson 1/5)
