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

I think he's a really good player. Old school.

Chance had been coming for a while, Mennie had been hitting the inside half of his bat for a couple of overs there. Tough one but badly needed,

 

[Victor Ian]

Aussies need to take a long hard look at Bavuma. No need to contact Rodgers or any other expert. Something has happened and they have stopped his scoring, yet he is not throwing his wicket away refusing to believe there are difficult moments. I hope he gets his 100.

I like the stat mentioned that Bavuma has faced more balls than the entire Australian innings. Obviously de Kock has outscored that innings too.

 

[Chrish]

Always thought Temba was in the team due to all the wrong reasons.. But he is proving me wrong. Kinda like Amla who also started as a quota player.

 

[Tangles]

I bet if our bats were asked what they thought of Bavumas innings I have the feeling "not enough intent" would be the answer.

Speaking of that, I've had the sound off. Warne or any others made comments to that effect? It annoys me that hardly anyone in the Aus system would understand why this has been a good innings.

Weather is supposed to be fair for the next 2 days..how far should SA go? 300 lead and declare? Or go for as many as possible given they aren't bowled out..

Surely people like Lehman and Smith should be able to use this innings as a template to show that the Aus middle order needs to do.

It is very disappointing though. And it sucks.

Nicholas at least said he was making them bowl to him.

I did chuckle at 3 of CW's shittest ****s liking this post.

 

[honestbharani]

I didn't see your like on there so that can't be correct

Hey, part of the gang = call other posters what you are..

 

[Burgey]

Clarke making some interesting points during this delay about attitude to batting in these conditions.

 

[Starfighter]

Yay! An wicket for Mennie.

 

[StephenZA]

Damn... wanted him to get the hundred. Well Played.

 

[StephenZA]

Maharaj will come out and probably play some shots now....

 

[Burgey]

Happy to see Mennie get a wicket. He's kept things reasonably tight without looking particularly threatening.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ah I was hoping for them to get a 250+ lead.

 

[StephenZA]

Looks like this could be a quick end to the innings...... will not be to unhappy about that, since the ball is nipping about a bit.

 

[morgieb]

Looks like a different pitch since the rain delay.

This isn't a good thing.....

 

[Burgey]

He's a good operator, Haze. No frills but does enough off the deck to be a handful in most conditions. Can see him taking hte most test wickets out of any of the current crop of young(ish) Australian bowlers tbh. Simple action, repeatable, handy in most if not all conditions.
