I like his style for the Big Bash, he doesn't bother analysing the game too much but he's a good alternate for someone who does.

When do SA fans start getting nervous? Lyon can also bat a bit, can't he?

I don't think they'll get nervous until five or so overs after tea when you've got a fresh Rabada/Philander going at the tail.

 

[DriveClub]

Clarke is a really good commentator

Wut

I dont mind mark waugh, especially now he's a selector, agree or disagree with his opinions it's a good insight into what the selectors are thinking

 

[TheJediBrah]

lol as if you wouldn't just say "Michael Hunt"

If no wickets fall before tea I reckon there might be a few edgy moments. Pitch still looks to be playing well and their bowling is light and hasn't caused massive troubles to defence oriented batsmen.

Glad that Nevill's fighting here. Won't be enough but it could give him some confidence for the series going forward.

 

[Blocky]

His name is actually Mike Hunt though, I've met the guy.

220 in 37 ain't happening, and I'd be very surprised if SA can't find two wickets in that time. I don't think anyone out there is worried, maybe just mildly irked that they're not sinking b33rs yet because this Nevill bloke wants to defend all day.

Yep, one positive for Australia from this game. Nevill seems to be someone to be counted upon and has the mental ability now who can stonewall in such situations; his only decent contribution with the bat in Sri Lanka was in similar circumstances. It's just a question of him developing his style when more aggressive intent is needed.

 

[Starfighter]

Need Tiny Temba to finish things off here.

 

[Dan]

Faf should give himself an over or two; SSmith-esque troll leggies to goad Hazlewood into something dumb

 

[OverratedSanity]

Lack of gambhiring from the SA fans to cost them big time here.

 

[Starfighter]

Yeeeessssssssss...

(Un) Fortunately its not really our style.... maybe an 1h before end of play.

 

[harsh.ag]

Elgar from one end, Bavuma from the other, mofos!

 

[Dan]

I think Hazlewood won't mind being the one to face Bavuma; crack is far less threatening for him from an LBW point of view.

Looking for reverse again, probably...

 

[TheJediBrah]

Nevill's had a good game in general. Didn't he get a bad decision in the first innings?

 

[Starfighter]

Heh. Well done Nev.
