I never quite know how to feel about Phelukwayo.

Some days it feels like he's a limited overs superstar with his canny medium pacers but other days you feel he could easily travel for 80 off his 10.

Better than the consistently mediocre Pretorius and Morris for sure but I can never quite decide if I'm a fan of Lucky or not.

The problem is not his bowling. He has been the most consistent I would say of those bowlers, and does a great job in the middle and end overs. The problem with him is that he is meant to bat 7 and add something there which has been inconsistent at best; and none of the others competing for that positions offer a whole lot more with the bat or the ball. So SA are not playing a genuine 7 because we don't have one at the moment.

I don't know if its actually good for SA cricket if Jon Jon does well here (as he probably shouldn't be playing for us and a good performance will potentially justify a number of future selections) but I'm really holding thumbs for him here.

You're right re: batting but I just don't trust his bowling either. I love seeing him do well but there's always worry in the back of my mind.

Third seamer would be do much better here over agar, hazlewood would have been killer on this.

Janneman is nervous. So ideally you bowl straight at him and Australia have done it well. Don't want to give width and let him get away square of the wicket.

The voice of that South African commentator who refuses to pronounce Labuschagne correctly seems to have changed. I hope he hasn't got corona.

Spin now. Where you can dot Janneman up the most.

Big test for him. But he isn't throwing in the towel which is good. Learn more out in the middle.
