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

Starc never looks dangerous around the wicket.

The Pull of Amla.

 

[Howe_zat]

So the last two times that Mitch Marsh has been dropped Australia has scored 60 and 85 in the first innings.

Don't think this is a coincidence either, it's the belief that coping with the moving ball is about picking more batsmen as oppose to actually getting the top four working against it.

 

[vicleggie]

Mennie should be working at the snack bar.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Saw the crazy opening session, must say I am surprised Vernon returned after that incident. Looked very nasty, glad he is ok.

Oh and LOL

 

[Black_Warrior]

Amla

 

[morgieb]

Would be clipping at worst I think.

 

[Starfighter]

Haze!

 

[stephen]

A deficit of 100 will be workable. 50 or less would be ideal.

 

[morgieb]

Massive, esepcially given Amla was starting to hit him around.

Get two of the next 3 before they hit 100 and we're still in this.

 

[morgieb]

That probably would've hit if it was South Africa fielding.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

200 would be handy.

 

[stephen]

That probably would've hit if it was South Africa fielding.

Would have hit and Amla would have been 3cm out of his crease.

Yes for sure. Today was the type of wicket where you really would appreciate a 30 (100) from a Cowan or Bancroft type.

Bavuma is the best player of spin in the side, not sure its the right idea atm

Mate he plays in the South Africa team, not the Australian team..which means he bats with WG's lookalike.

 

[Black_Warrior]

What a game

 

[Starfighter]

A drop was just what we needed.

 

[Black_Warrior]

That Bavuma drop reminded me of the James Taylor catch against Amla in South Africa.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Bavuma would have caught it.
