Is there a 5th bowler/allrounder in the Aus team?

Lyon

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Right... here comes a proper batsmen.

SA must be the only team in any forms who place their superstar at 7.

For several years NZ had their best batsman (Vettori) at 8

Good form from the crowd to applaud Faf despite the booing earlier

 

[StephenZA]

Well played Faf.... smashing the final nails in Cooks international career....

 

[Marius]

Also interesting is that it was Jimmy Cook who faced SA's first white ball delivery under lights and it looks like Stephen Cook will face the first pink ball delivery.

And the first ball faced against India in a Test and the first ball in a Test after isolation.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Well batted. I will have a mint for that

Would be pretty garbage if they didn't though.

QDK

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

I genuinely believe QDK is already the best WK/Batsmen in the world, despite JB's 2016. He would be in my world 11 with ease.

Idk, I'm pretty used to Indian crowds

 

[Blocky]

I think Australia will struggle to make 250 on this.

 

[Daemon]

Put the sweep shot away on this deck QdK. Way too much bounce.

 

[Spark]

Idk, I'm pretty used to Indian crowds

Yeah, that's one thing I genuinely hate regardless of where it is. Clap 50s, ****s.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

You know, I wouldn't even be mad if Lyon was going wicketless in these circumstances if he could at least pull together maidens.

But I guess bowling short is the key to everything and spoiling every over.

Lyon (and Nigel Llong) helped Oz win the last pink ball test

 

[Burgey]

Would be pretty garbage if they didn't though.

Did they stand up for it?

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

I think Australia will struggle to make 250 on this.

All depends on Warner.

 

[NUFAN]

Is there a 5th bowler/allrounder in the Aus team?

Maddinson can roll his arm over but he only bowled like 2 overs in Victoria's innings of 150 plus overs last weekend. Smith bowled about 9, so I guess the answer is Steve Smith.

TPC for the win.....

de Kock is more talented than Gilchrist... there I said it.
