***Official*** Australia in South Africa + South Africa in Australia 2016/17

FMD there's reward for mediocrity these days in Australian cricket.

Selecting South Australians the obvious example.

He's from your side of the continent, ****.

(Probably what got him the nod)

Shamsi getting murdered in warm up game. Wonder if that rules him out of first test?

It should and they should also drop Philander. Letting Raphael hammer you for almost a run a ball should end your career and those of whoever you love most.

Jesus, they ;eft Burns out fro Darsh as well.

Mennie to carry the Solos unless there's an injury.

I interpreted them all except for Whining **** & WPNCOS

 

[Burgey]

Whinging **** is Khawaja

WPNCOS = World's Premier Non-Chucking Off Spinner

Cue some idiotic SC posters to come on and go "Ashwin doesn't play for Australia herr herr herrrrrrrr" like the spuds they are.

 

[NUFAN]

They Siddle can't put a good team together was such a poor line that you posted on cricinfo, KK.

I was thinking that this day's play put a little bit more perspective on the SA batting efforts on day 1.

 

[Gnske]

Can I just say I'm genuinely surprised Vernon didn't get a severe injury that would take the entire length of the match to heal before this tour game in Adelaide.

Who will be the better bowler this series - Morkel or Philander?

Philander....

Wonder if after that performance Maharaj may get in to the team before Shamsi; his batting may give him the edge. Thats if we even play a spinner!

 

[Black_Warrior]

That said, popular bloke, will be giving lots of autographs so won't lose track of where his pen is.

Nah, Test series will be a different balls game.

I wonder if he'll have the wood over Australia.

de kock's really standing up on this tour.

And then CW has the nerve to complain about Channel 9

Hard to imagine that Philander will even play tbh

0/72 off 14 overs against borderline a 2nd XI state team is pretty damning

 

[andruid]

What sort of tarmac are they using on the wickets?

Bit hard for Morkel to be better when he won't even play.

We don`t get paid for this wonderful banter.....

Good chance we go in with a 4 pace attack at least 2 of the matches, cant see Abbott getting in front of him at the moment.

Wouldn't that hurt your quota? Suppose you could make it up in other ways I guess.

Possibly; But I don`t think they will choose a spinner purely for that reason. If Parnell was not injured he might have been given the go ahead above Morkel. If they need 4 seamers I think they will pick Morkel/Abbott and make up the quota numbers elsewhere. A bigger issue is when de Villers returns....

Agreed.

 

[Bahseph]

Regardless of how he went in this Tour game, Philander is almost certain to play come the first Test.

He still has enough credit in the bank and the quota system largely dictates that he has to be in. Feel sorry for Morkel, as he has added an with a dimension to this attack for years but Rabada in theory could provide the same skills he does.

Didn't even think about quotas. Philander is going to be hammered.

Is what I think they may run with. Voges will want to score heavy IMO as will the Whinge. If they don't I reckon one will make way for Darsh.

Not sure about the third quick. Didn't see how Siddle bowled in the ODD stuff. They might go for 120kph into the wind WACA specialist The Duke to get pongoed all over the shop. Maybe Bird. Dougeh's papers have been marked it seems.

For non aussies explain who and what is TPC,Aorta and WPNCOS

Although actually how the eff is smith not the whinge reading the rest of your post? He's a complete and utter whinging tosser.

So yeah throw in the whinging effwitt to my question
