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

[Starfighter]

The instant Starc goes around the wicket my heart falls. He should use his angle across the right handers.

 

[Starfighter]

The NZ test, the ball in any state was doing weird tricks in the evening - although I think they took a lot more measures in the NZ vs Australian test around keeping the ball new than they're taking here so it'll be interesting.

Yeah, the grass is a bit shorter and more dead here. Getting movement in the evening requires the ball still being in good enough condition.

 

[Gnske]

Think Nicholas is going senile

In the last ten minutes he's called Starc Michael Clarke and Mitch Marsh

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

Aus need to bowl off the pads and just sit in outside off.

 

[Starfighter]

Here's the person I would've picked Chadd over. He better pick up some wickets here.

That'll be the Mitch Starc & Marsh posters Nicholas has stuck up on the walls of his bedroom.

Wade's voice is hilariously annoying, to go alongside his annoying chat.

Wade is annoying in general.

 

[Blocky]

Faf just told Wade to **** off...

Faf to double ton here.

 

[Blocky]

Has Cook been working with Trent Boult on his defense?

 

[Spikey]

bloody hell Faf is living the dream

 

[Starfighter]

That was so fantastically flamboyant for such a nothing delivery.

 

[morgieb]

Oh dear, Wade...

 

[Tangles]

Keeping Wade.

 

[Starfighter]

Bet Faf tons up this match.

 

[Starfighter]

Turned through the gate.

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

Bet Faf tons up this match.

Someone should. This is a great surface to bat on.

So 100/3 at lunch even-stevens given SA won the toss?

If they were only 2 down, you'd say it was SA's session.

I'd say 100-3 makes it slightly RSA's session, 80-3 would have been even in my view.
