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

"Second fifty of the match".....

it is, isn't it?

 

[Spark]

Who came up with the Healy/Clarke pairing for the whole match. Seriously.

 

[Starfighter]

Now the Paul Adams footage comes out. Love it.

 

[Tangles]

This is the Khawaja we saw when NZ toured last year, he's looking brilliant again.

Everything technical perfect, so good at playing late, good wrists, footwork on par. I really don't understand how this guy struggles for form from time to time.

Spin has been an issue.

 

[Blocky]

Spin has been an issue.

Spin in Sri Lanka or Spin in normal conditions?

Spin around the world

Think this break came at a good time for SA.... another good Test match session. Still advantage Aus.

 

[Blocky]

They've definitely improved batting with the pink ball, this doesn't do half of what it was doing last year.

Pitch has far less grass on it

 

[Blocky]

From memory though it was swinging almost all innings long, and under the lights became a demon ball - this now seems like normal standard test cricket, which is a good thing for day night tests.

 

[Burgey]

The Great TPC makes batting look so easy. Can't compare how it looks for others as against him, it isn't fair.

In better news..

Managed to get money on South Africa yesterday when they were in trouble at 640, got money on Australia today when they were in trouble at 600.

 

[mr_mister]

knew last year Usman's tons were the sign of a real mccoy test batsman being born and Voges were just cashing in against weak ****

was kind of annoyed Voges took the limelight off Uzi


now we all know the mightiness of UZI

Decent prices both.

 

[Tangles]

BT pointing out Uzi has been in 6 of the 9 both partnerships this series. Good effort from him. No doubt he will be in the selectors sights the first time he fails in India.

Irrespective of how well he has played here and in Hobart, a couple of bad innings against Ashwin next year and he will get dropped in a flash again.

 

[Gob]

TPC has outscored Williamson. Blocky fuming.

As you'd expect from the vastly superior player

Nothing about Smith's style makes batting look easy.



He looks like a car lot air dancer with a cricket bat.

Maybe we could just stick with him this time. I hear that's a thing now. Plus the other options all appear to be inferior.
