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

[Dan]

Maddinson is, uhh, quite aggressive.

 

[Blocky]

Some good downhill skiing here today.

Either Maddinson hits a quick half or gets out cheap. I'm expecting Wade to put a good innings in here, type of guy that will do it despite the form he's been in.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Not surprised he got like that. His technique really just hanging back in the crease.

Great knock though.

Misread the length completely there?

Yeah, also doesn't seem to come forward much at all in general

 

[Red Wingz]

Smith looks sooo happy after handscomb completed his 50

 

[adub]

Fair old rock that.

Now lets see how Mad the Dog is.

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

Handscomb just look quality but with very little foot movement

Would definitely going to be tested in better conditons

Yeah.. a bit wafty. Get get away with this when there is no sideways movement.

 

[Furball]

When was the last time an Aussie batsman faced 250 balls, excluding last summer?

This is the first ton I've seen from an Australian in a while where the focus seems to have been on not getting out and letting the runs come as a natural by-product of crease occupation.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Finally.

Abbott is awesome.

 

[Starfighter]

Can see Maddinson having a rather brief innings here.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

And that's the downside of the both feet behind the grease Gary balance technique. If it's full and any seam movement you ain't gonna cover it.

 

[StephenZA]

Nice... less get a few more boys.

SMarsh might have in SL.

EDIT: Yep.

heh

recovering from 2/40 to 3/270 is downhill skiing

 

[Starfighter]

Abbott is awesome.

He's been the best of the Saffer bowlers by a big margin. That was a fantastic spell this morning.

 

[adub]

Abbott really getting it to talk off the seam here. Good test for Maddo.

 

[burr]

Oh no. Only a lead of 14. C'mon boys, just eek out a few more partnerships.

 

[artvandalay]

Handscomb bats like a tailender, not surprised he got out like that.

 

[Starfighter]

Ah yeah Clarkey, I'd rather a batsman with good defence who's scored a lot a FC level. You know, like one K. Patterson.

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

Maddinson looks nervous as ****

 

[Blocky]

Have you even watched today? It was difficult for about 10 overs of Abbott, then ridiculously easy. Shamsi has been the easiest bowler on display and that's saying something considering you played Mennie.
