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

[Starfighter]

Dammit, was typing so missed QdK's ton. Well done.

 

[Burgey]

Fine knock. Whatever slim chance Australia had in the game, these two have completely removed it.

 

[GotSpin]

This novel thing that Aussies can't do which is called batting for time and your partner. When the bloke at the other end is scoring as freely as he is you can just drop anchor and make sure he has good support instead of batting like a tosser and throwing your wicket away.

I feel like Lehman has to answer for this

 

[Tangles]

Well played de Kock.

 

[91Jmay]

Super knock. Super player.

 

[Stace]

Brilliant innings, he's soo talented.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Genuinely mistaken Amla as Moeen Ali

 

[StephenZA]

Dammitt... still great 100.

 

[Tangles]

Of course it is, he's nowhere near good enough.
Might be able to get by playing him as a part time spinner with O'Keefe doing the bulk of the work though. But he won't play so it's a moot point.

Although we played him last time round so you can never say never.

Lyon and Sok as the spinners and Maxwellcan have Mmarshes spot.

 

[slippy888]

good to see charl langdelvt is involved in south african cricket and not stuck in a job Que at a job center

 

[Starfighter]

Silly shot when there's plenty of time, but he'll play how he plays.

And it wasn't first ball of an innings.

 

[morgieb]

Played, lad. Completely knocked out any real shot Australia had.

 

[Starfighter]

Now for Philander to play another frustrating (from an Aus perspective) innings.

 

[Tangles]

I feel like Lehman has to answer for this

The Nine comms do promote that way of playing also tbf. Of course they are pandering to casuals and bogans so are idiots.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dammit just as I start watching. Well played.

 

[morgieb]

Silly shot when there's plenty of time, but he'll play how he plays.

And it wasn't first ball of an innings.

Well tbf he was seeing it like a beach ball, going one shot too many is probably forgiveable at that point.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Outside off impact ffs

 

[Starfighter]

No don't review that. Too high and possibly outside.

 

[morgieb]

Don't think that's outside the line, looks plumb.

 

[Gnske]

"That's LBW" Mark Nicholas says with such utter gumption as its so ****ing clearly outside the line
