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

[Gob]

Anything over 200 would be very competitive here

 

[SeamUp]

Quality 5-for that.

Aggression, intensity and purpose.

 

[GRAB]

5 #8!

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Superb spell from Rabada, quality pace bowling.

Hoping the Australian attack can put in a similarly impressive performance

 

[Stapel]

Been following this match on cricinfo, but left the screen at 80/0 or so. Proper collapse this!

 

[SeamUp]

Mitch Marsh looks like a stoner who doesn't know where his lucozade is up in the dressing room

How was he fit to play?

Maybe it is a reflection on Handscomb?

 

[Top_Cat]

Christ Rabada is such a pro. I was going to use the word talent but he moved on from merely being a young talent some time ago, really. Might be one of the best we've ever seen.

 

[robbypark]

Australia's tail is so much better than South Africa's tail.

 

[morgieb]

At least we got to 200.

 

[Spark]

At least we got to 200.

Yeah, unless this pitch flattens out completely (or has done) then this isn't a disaster. Not a great position obvs but it's far from irretrievable.

 

[Spark]

Why didn't he bowl the previous over instead of Maharaj?

 

[robbypark]

Yeah, unless this pitch flattens out completely (or has done) then this isn't a disaster. Not a great position obvs but it's far from irretrievable.

It's a very good score. SA's batting lineup is weak as hell and completely reliant on two batters.

 

[SeamUp]

Good to see the angle in from Lungi work well to the tail early on after my convo with PEWS. Here's hoping he is on his way.

 

[Spark]

It's a very good score. SA's batting lineup is weak as hell and completely reliant on two batters.

It would have to be seriously bowler friendly for a score of 220-odd to be "very good".

I have seen your posting history and all I see is some dip **** trying to be some internet tough guy.

 

[robbypark]

lol SA getting beat on by the tail. This is some pretty pathetic stuff to the tail end. Should have had them bowled out under 200 for sure.

 

[robbypark]

I just tell it like it is. Don't be mad that your team has stunk for a while now and has no future.

 

[smash84]

yeah, Tim paine becoming a pain in the arse for SA, they better wrap it up below 225. 250 might become challenging given Australia's bowling

 

[SeamUp]

Vital runs these. Think Paine has been a master-stroke selection. But certainly the exception not the rule.

 

[Daemon]

This is lame. **** off Paine.
