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

[Dendarii]

What would everyone do if they were Elgar if rabada gets out?
Go for quick runs or play for the red ink?

I think Elgar's too much of a team man to go for the red ink. So because Morkel's not likely to last that long it's better for South Africa for him to go for the quick runs.

Australia's approach to Rabada is about banking on him losing his cool by bowling short again and again. This also means a field setting where there is just one slip.

And KG just kinda justified the strategy. Well done.

Perfect top edges by Rabada... into the gaps.

I think this Elgar innings is going to look better and better as the test goes on....

Also playing the long game and hoping to get him fired up and banned for fourth test...

Elgar!!!

Haha, never knew that Don Voges has become a pundit. Some videos with him on cricinfo.

 

[StephenZA]

Sigh! But some more important runs from Rabada....


Will Morkel succumb to Lyon?

 

[SeamUp]

**** ! Morras has 5 balls to last against a spinner.

 

[SeamUp]

Bang Bang

 

[StephenZA]

Succumbs but gets the runs....

And now out!

 

[StephenZA]

Well done to Elgar fantastic from him! Top quality innings.

 

[harsh.ag]

Morkel the only one surprised there.

Well done Deano.

 

[SeamUp]

Dean and Desmond - the Kings to last a crumble from minute 1. Has a nice ring to it.

Turns out Elgar is not as much of a team man as we thought he was

 

[GRAB]

Was such a Morne Morkel innings...

 

[GotSpin]

Good tail wag there.

Considering South Africa were 2-202 odd Australia should be reasonably happy there. I'm scared of Philander though

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well done Elgar, again.

Yup. Exactly. Cynical but clinically Australian.

Impressive stuff from Morkel. Australia's been good at getting on a roll but if you can survive a few overs you can generally get a solid partnership.
