this is so good to watch

These two are making this pitch look like a superhighway.

 

[StephenZA]

Great innings Faf! Well done.

 

[stephen]

That was a terrible shot. Should have left it. Great catch.

Is Hobart still a batting friendly ground? Remember when Kohli and co. chased down 320 odd in 36 odd overs here.

 

[Second Spitter]

Man, I'm over Stoinis' "finesse" sh!t

 

[stephen]

Game defining innings that. Well batted Faf. Australia's antagonist.

I think it's probably the most English of Australian grounds (i.e. seamy in Tests but small enough it can be a mega road in ODI's). I might be wrong though.

Need to follow Faf/Miller's MO of willing to go slow for about 10 overs and then hitting out late if we're to chase this down, unless Finch and Head put on like 150. Trouble is no-one's really in their class other than Finch, certainly none of the middle order is.

 

[StephenZA]

Fantastic from Miller.

After this innings Miller better not give us a bunch of good looking 20's for the next 15 innings. This needs to be consistent.

It looks like a good batting deck. It's quickened up since the start of the South African innings.

can't understate the quality of that partnership against that attack even though they enjoy tests more

I was going to say this. I think you will get quite a few similar conditions for the WC in England. Similar weather conditions and type of pitch.

 

[Burgey]

Australia won’t get within 100 of this

 

[Gomez656]

Miller/FaF- 252
Yuvi-MSD -256
A.Jadeja-Azheruddin -275* ( all time)

All above 4th wicket partnership in ODI

 

[Gomez656]

You think 221?

I think aus reaches 285 for 8 or more

They're showing HLs of that Adelaide 2003 Test here on Indian TV.

So South Africa were 2/27 off the first ten overs. The deck was holding up a bit to start with but it flattened out and got a bit quicker as the day went on. To get 320+ though was a monumental effort from Faf and Miller. It's one for the textbooks. Modern ODI batsmen would have panicked at 3/50 off the first 17 or so overs and gotten all out. This was a textbook display of how to build a respectable total when you lose a few early wickets. Fantastic batting by both Miller and Du Plesis aided by a little bit of luck and a little bit of terrible fielding. But full credit to the batsmen who never panicked.

 

[vcs]

Steyn strikes, Lynn gone. Is he a Big Bash myth?

 

[stephen]

Ffs.

grim shot
