Least deserved four-for since Zahid's.

Since Jack Leach last night.

From Cricinfo:

Ponting just said on Seven "Talking to some of the Australian batters today, they felt this was one of the toughest Test wickets they have ever batted on." pings Alex Malcolm

From Cricinfo:

ATG knock from Head then.

 

[Spark]

Geez, have fun playing that

 

[Starfighter]

I just wish Starc could consistently stay in the channel rather than bowling most of these halfway along the crease.

 

[Starfighter]

Let your ego go Patty and give the new ball to Boland.

 

[Stefan9]

There always seems to be someone. If they don't do it and we win the series this will be the first SA series I've watched where someone didn't pull out a miracle performance.

There are no miracle workers in this side regarding batsmen.

Or something

The someone was usually someone. Talking like previous outfits were Mickey Mouse. 2012 side had Smith, Kallis, Amla, AB, Faf, JP with guys like Philander at 9. Philander averaged probably more than the current top six.

That's the point. It's always some random, like JP Duminy twice.

Yeah and Duminy is exactly the type I mean. Test average of 33, six centuries - two of which were series defining centuries against Australia.

The procession starts ?

Or Steyn.

 

[Spark]

I mean that umpire's call but there's not an umpire in the world who isn't giving that when it hits so hard below the knee roll

 

[TT Boy]

That's the point. It's always some random, like JP Duminy twice.

How many of the current side average more than JP? JP also did it more than twice in Australia across multiple series which suggest more than a fluke.

 

[Starfighter]

Or Steyn.

Steyn and Duminy together, to be precise.

How many of the current side average more than JP? JP also did it more than twice in Australia across multiple series which suggest more than a fluke.

You're actually agreeing with me. Sucked against everyone else, put pulled performances out of his behind against Australia.

 

[honestbharani]

The only guy capable of doing a Duminy for RSA was Markram and they left him out.

 

[Spark]

I mean yeah this game probably isn't going into the working week.

EDIT: Geez that's jagged a mile.

 

[thierry henry]

Ugly shot but jeez both wickets have come from really exaggerated seam movement. Genuinely unplayable

 

[Spark]

Like you bowl ten of those and you get ten wickets. You simply can't play that
