Steyn to score a beautiful 77...

 

[NUFAN]

"Cross-batted sweep-heave to long-on for six"

Maharaj should have reviewed it.

 

[SeamUp]

That's what you get with Maharaj. He only knows one way !

 

[Starfighter]

A flaccid shot to end his innings.

 

[morgieb]

Great knock that, shame it wasn't a century but it'll help. Smartly bowled.

 

[StephenZA]

wtf!!!!!

Great innings anyway...

 

[OverratedSanity]

This means one full session of Steyn! yesss

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Oh Quiny, you break my heart.

 

[mr_mister]

well looks like we'l get a bat tonight


glad I get to see Warner v Steyn


also De Kock's 84 might end up being eerily similar to Gilchrist's 81 in his debut knock (yes I know De Kock has already scored a ton)


I reckon De Kock will become a beast very soon

 

[kykweer.proteas]

That is what we all wanted anyway, woke up at 4am seeing that we are batting and I just turned the alarm off and went back to bed.

 

[vcs]

So far been a very similar script to the 2012 Perth match.

 

[SeamUp]

Super knock Quinnie. Dealt with all barrages and pity it ended that way.

Suppose 5 for nothing. You take this sort of score.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

reckon we will still get to 250

 

[Starfighter]

Starc doing a good job to rile up the opposition express bowler.

 

[Rasimione]

Steyn and Rabada will be amped up.

I'll venture an opinion that SA haven't properly selected an attack to deal with Australia's left handers. Steyn isn't quite as good against left handers because of his reliance on his outswinger, so when SA toured England in 2012 they had Morkel opening the bowling to Strauss, which worked. Australia have 3 lefties in the top three with Burns out. Since SA also picked a SLA bowler over the offspinner and chinaman bowler they've left themselves short of options if Australia get past the new ball 0 or 1 down.

If we ever manage to win a cricket world cup, it will be on the back of QdK.

It would be a win-win for South Africa and deKock if Proteas manage to find a keeper who could bat a bit so that deKock could move up the order to bat at 5 or 6.

It wouldn't do justice to his talent if he bats at 7 and spends half the time with the tail.

Is a concern... think Rabada may give the lefties an issue though. Only person I worry about really is Warner. Rest not to concerned...... jinxing everything!
