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

[Burgey]

Starc with the shot of the evening withthat cover drive.

 

[Blocky]

NZ spinners being shown on TV - even Starc can pound those.

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

Healthy lead is this... especially considering SA have a bang average batting lineup.

 

[vcs]

Outside leg.

Pujara didn't review it for some inexplicable reason, it was not out.

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

Starc with the shot of the evening withthat cover drive.

His only shot.

 

[Starfighter]

At this stage of the evening you probably want Starc protecting Khawaja a bit. Khawaja being in tomorrow will be the big factor in Australia's lead.

Well that puts a different spin on it...

 

[Burgey]

ha ha starc scored more than kane

Yessssssss

 

[Blocky]

Yet in all the years I've been watching Test cricket, there seems to be less draws and more results than ever before.

Mostly because sides can get 350+ scores in far less time and put scoreboard pressure on.. A lot of the results happen due to how quickly the first innings concludes.

 

[Starfighter]

Pujara didn't review it for some inexplicable reason, it was not out.

Oh, so this decision was not reviewed. That's different.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Abbott must be really cooked... Coulda tried the wristy on Starc here as well

 

[indiaholic]

Pujara didn't review it for some inexplicable reason, it was not out.

Vijay's fault.

 

[vcs]

Well that would make your right arm bowler going around the wicket tactic a lot more common then.

It would turn your Ojhas and Abdur Rehmans into ATGs...

 

[Starfighter]

ha ha starc scored more than kane

Against better bowling too, in arguably more difficult conditions.

 

[mackembhoy]

Pujara didn't review it for some inexplicable reason, it was not out.

No that was clearly outside leg.

I'm on about a wicket where only a fraction of the ball pitched inline. I can't remember who it was.

 

[Blocky]

Bet South Africa wish they could throw the ball to Wagner at the moment.

 

[TheJediBrah]

If anything, you'd have to say that SA have all the advantages of the day/night conditions in this game. Got to bowl in both night sessions, with a new ball both times.

Pretty fortunate for them really.

 

[StephenZA]

Bet South Africa wish they could throw the ball to Wagner at the moment.

No rather throw it to Kallis....

 

[mackembhoy]

Oh, so this decision was not reviewed. That's different.

I'm not on about that, that was half a yard outside leg.

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

Bet they wish they could throw it to Steyn over anyone else.

 

[Furball]

Well that puts a different spin on it...

Starc seems to be seeing the ball ok now in any case.
