*Official* South Africa in Australia 2018

[SeamUp]

Graeme Smith is a massive unit

Mark Waugh isn’t small but looks it next to Smith

And Graeme just says you stand next to Lungi Ngidi and he is a large human-being. Big comment by the big man about a big man.

 

[SeamUp]

I've learnt more about cricket from Skull in 40 minutes of commentary than I did all last summer listening to 9 comms.

Let the Channel 9 trash talk commence.

 

[Starfighter]

Kind of Rabada to give Lynn the trash full toss.

 

[Second Spitter]

This pitch won't make me miss the WACA anytime soon.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dale Steyn 'right arm fast-medium'.

Sick burn from the broadcaster.

That's what he's always been listed as I think

 

[Starfighter]

That's what he's always been listed as I think

Been 'fast' every time I've seen him.

Huss: 'what could the Australians have done differently?' Moved feet, left wide deliveries.

 

[Spikey]

I think the grey decor just inflames it too. Looked great with all the West Coast supporters colouring it in through the season.

I like how there's a Justin Langer stand. Isn't it all just one big ugly stand?

 

[NUFAN]

Shot of the summer.

We are going to have a golden summer I bet.

 

[Starfighter]

That's the more familiar Lynn.

 

[Second Spitter]

PREDICTVIZ is such silly name for a statistic, tailored for millennials no doubt.

 

[Starfighter]

I thought that was out.

 

[NUFAN]

This is a bit of a joke once again.

Excellent opportunity for Maxwell now.

 

[Starfighter]

Now we're relying on Maxwell. Good grief.

 

[Spark]

we are Bad

 

[Second Spitter]

Ngidi's stuff is pure filth.


edit: and then he bowls a half-volley.

 

[the big bambino]

Come to the stage where you have to see a good side that has been the disaster of Australian cricket. Get bowled out for 50 and pressure will only increase to reverse these bans. What product you going to sell that’s over before drinks? Some people who shelled out big bucks to associate themselves with this shower of **** will be wondering why. Cricket going the way of rugby in Oz. Can’t learn from mistakes and making more as they go along. Just keep on alienating the fans with poor decisions and contempt when deciding who can actually watch the games

Maybe one small ephemeral hope I’ve overlooked. Is the pitch a green mamba? Maybe we could do better if the conditions were flatter. Then again ...

It's got a little bit in it, more than a normal one day pitch, but it's distinctly beige.

A good pitch actually, being not billiard table like with good pace.

 

[Starfighter]

It would be just our luck if Maxwell was injured here.

 

[Second Spitter]

Tough pitches don't cause sh!tty footwork and three of the dismissals were attributable to that.

 

[Starfighter]

This is an absolute disaster.
