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

[StephenZA]

This is one of those horrible starts to the day, if you don't have Aus 4 down by lunch you feel that you have not done your job as SA...but Aus must have their collective breaths being held because this is such a 50 a.o pitch for them!

 

[SeamUp]

I know it is early but piss poor crowd again!

Working class country with poor public transport, mate.

Friday is a work day.

 

[GRAB]

The dole... We don't have it. It makes a difference.

 

[Gnske]

Wow the band's new song is a real hit, I've never heard trumpets blown like this.

 

[StephenZA]

I know it is early but piss poor crowd again!

Don't expect much.... Sat and Sun may have a few people but wont be great. I am the only person in my entire group (of about 20) that even knew that this match was on! Bunch of uninterested scientists but still....

 

[Daemon]

SBW masks pretty funny but also really crass. SA fans really toeing the line with that one.

 

[GRAB]

No, that's a whale in Algoa Bay...

 

[Pup Clarke]

Haysman needs to learn how to modulate his voice. Awful one-dimensional commentator

 

[Starfighter]

If Bancroft is not dismissed for under ten here then SA have basically failed.

 

[StephenZA]

Awful one-dimensional commentator

Ftfy....

The weekend should be much better. Some support from the surrounding major areas should come too. Grahamstown etc

I see Barry Richards is there. Doesn't he live in Knysna these days.

 

[Spark]

Feels a bit mean spirited to drop Morkel, but it's the correct call.

No room for sentiment when you're 1-0 down.

I really hope so... I'm going tomorrow but everything I hear is not looking good, and I've been disappointed by PE crowds to many times to be hopeful...

 

[Fuller Pilch]

They need to get them 3 down (including Smith) by lunchtime

 

[StephenZA]

This feels like a are you good enough to actually nick it?

 

[GotSpin]

Bancroft looks so bad

 

[Victor Ian]

I'm liking this music being played. Is that normal. It creates a good atmosphere.

 

[Bolo]

Progressive choice in Ngidi..... really like that. So, so tough and heart breaking on Morkel.


If Ngidi does well what about Steyn next match?

We've left bowlers out who have had great starts to their careers before. Doubts over steyns form or fitness would keep him out, or ngidi doing really, really well, but Steyn should be back otherwise

 

[StephenZA]

The band has been around for 20+ years..... and has increased the repertoire from about 3 to 7 songs in that time.

 

[SeamUp]

Vern bowled a round arm and the way Bancroft was beaten on the inside edge was toilet but hey as an opener if you there still you laugh it off.
