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

[Bahnz]

Yeah, agree. If S.A. aren't bowled out in the next 10 overs they should declare.

 

[OverratedSanity]

No, I follow what happens in day night cricket all around the world. This is the hardest time to face the new ball. They're gifting Australia an easier session tomorrow morning by struggling for a few more runs today.

Tbf, they've clearly stepped up the scoring rate here. Don't think they should just slog away right now, just look to attack more. Still a whole session left.

Aus lost their discipline at the moment.

If CSA does not keep Faf captain they will be making a big mistake.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

The media will surely scrutinize Faf's bat a few days after the game

Faf will not remain captain unless deVillers gives it up. CSA have stated deVillers will retain captaincy.

Just go hard at it, anything above 220 with an hour at the Aussies tonight will make it interesting.

I think they're making a mistake here, the longer they bat, the less time they have at Aussie under the lights.

They should definitely be having a swing at the ball for the rest of their innings.

Surely they take the long handle to it now and try get as many runs as possible and get Aussie in under the lights?

Still a bit unclear what you think they should do tbh.

I've got a feeling they will & I think that will be good for AB's game.

It's whether Amla moves to the top of the order for Cook, so AB can come back as a straight swap for him.

You just need to read between the lines.

 

[Blocky]

I just want Steve Myth to be out for nil so I can laugh at those who think he's a generational batsman.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

I know, but have has that kind of fight and toughness that Smith had, this is really some knock.

 

[Top_Cat]

Boult's a myth.

 

[vcs]

Faf had a dreadful run in 2015, looks like he's well and truly back now.

Talk of declarations, throwing the bat around etc. to make Australia bat is bizarre. Just play normally, these two are going well.

First time I've had the 'pleasure' of hearing C9 Comms this winter.

Any chance this Banter-bus can drive off the nearest cliff? Has KP been this annoying the whole time?

 

[indiaholic]

Some people seem to genuinely like his commentary.

 

[Flem274*]

you should have said wagner.

 

[mackembhoy]

Yeah it was very odd behaviour. I suppose they were just denying that there was malicious intent, but that doesn't even matter. He clearly broke the laws. Not sure how any amount of standing in solidarity and lolly jokes changes that fact.

Using whites is artificially shining the ball. The law is broken by everyone who plays cricket.

 

[Zinzan]

Stroke! Looks great that pink ball flying off the bat.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

no need to declare, I don't think we will go past 80 overs anyway.
