*Official* Australia vs South Africa -2022/3

Wayne 'Buck' Shelford lost 3 teeth and had his scrotum ripped open in an All Black rugby test vs France and kept playing.

Yeah but you don’t use your teeth and scrotum much in rugby really do ya

I think if your balls are swinging down around your kneecaps because your sack has been ripped open it would probably affect your running

There have been a few biting incidents

It’s Union mate, there’s no running

 

[TT Boy]

The difference between Green's T20I SR and Test SR must be unmatched. He could mishit Maharaj 120 meters.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Green's test batting needs a couple of doses of intent.

 

[TT Boy]

Boland could take Carey to their hundred. This is painful to watch. Nauman Ali played a similar knock yesterday, but he is a bowler.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This all feels incredibly pointless.

 

[honestbharani]

Isn't Neser supposed to be a bit of an allrounder? Cant he bat 7 and come in for Green while Hazlewood comes in for Starc?

 

[Burgey]

Fantastic for Carey. So happy for him. Reckon he’s gonna have a break out 2023

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Well done Carey.

Statsguru tells me that Carey is the 10th keeper to score a test century this year (not including Bairstow, Conway, and Latham etc. who weren't keepers for those matches).

Pant has 2 100s in 2022. Carey has one. Who are the other 8 players?

Jeez, apparently it's been nine years since the last test century by an Australian keeper (Haddin in the 2013-14 Ashes).

So Wade's 100s must've been as a batter only

Reminds me a bit of early Symonds in Tests. He was already an ODI star but made like 15 (60) a few times because he just wasn't sure how to play

He made a couple as keeper (or at least 1) but they were 2013 or earlier

Top of my head, Verreynne in NZ. Das as well. One as a keeper, one may be not.

I think todays effort is somewhat brought on by his finger, but I agree on the whole

Thank you

Both were keeping so that's 2 of them. 2 English keepers scored 100s this year if that helps.
