***Official*** Australia in South Africa 2018

[Bolo]

Crazy cut-block for 4 from de Kock. Not sure I've ever seen a shot like that.

 

[Stefan9]

I like Smith as a commentator personally.

 

[GotSpin]

BJ would have made a terrible umpire

 

[slippy888]

Greame Smith done nothing wrong as a commentator

 

[GotSpin]

He not really a youngster for a keeper

thats kinda the point

 

[GotSpin]

De Bruyn looking like he's about to burst into tears

 

[Top_Cat]

thats kinda the point

Yeh, it was funny when him being a bit late on some balls was excused because he hadn’t kept in a while (leave aside the question of why then he was picked at all) but it’s still happening and It can’t be explained away as rustiness any more. Bloke’s gonna cost them a Test.

I really don’t get what he’s adding that other keepers around wouldn’t. He can’t chat or bat and at least other like Carey were first choice for their states!

 

[SeamUp]

SuperSport Comm Box has a good mix.

Saffers
Wessels
Pollock
Smith

Aussies
Border
Haysman
Julian
Warne to come

Neutral
Holding
Nicholas

Better than Wade

kinda confused what Lyon was doing with the ball after the run out there.

His batting the other day was kinda disappointing after defending out until stumps.

Obviously Rabada is a brilliant bowler but the signs were there that he was going to nick off unless he stopped wafting outside off stump

Dropping it for the umpires!

 

[Top_Cat]

Yeah but sorta at DeVilliers chest for some reason. Probably nothing in it but looked weird.

 

[SeamUp]

What would it take to go to Carey from here realistically ?

Smith landing them nicely first up.

 

[SeamUp]

At that stage where run scoring is super tough.

 

[Top_Cat]

Probably not much. Aside from being the T20 keeper already, is having a good season for SA/Adelaide in all forms with bat and gloves.

 

[MediumFast]

Not sure why but I think RSA should smoke AUS if everything where to click for them in the batting department. Bowling is at least as good IMO.

Surprised the Lyon/ABDV ball drop getting so much attention; seemed pretty innocuous. Warner going off his nut at Markram seemed more problematic for mine.
