*Official* Australia vs South Africa -2022/3

[NotMcKenzie]

Klaasen still not having a good time of it, going off his average.

Erwee's also been excellent at losing his wicket by his own efforts this series.

 

[Coronis]

1 each, lovely team effort.

 

[Gob]

Can't believe I'm saying this but WI may have had better batters

 

[ashley bach]

Every chance Elgar will be taking guard again tonight.

Speaking of luck ,
Just realised that Usman Khawaja has never scored a double hundred in his Test career and today he gets declared on 195* not out ...Ouch!

If it was Steve Smith instead of him, people would be singing praises everywhere on how unselfish he is and how it would have been Smith who would have asked Cummins to declare.

If these were 90s subcontinent batsmen we would be all over them for playing the short ball like that on this pitch.

Smith would probably have gotten out the previous evening slogging tbh.

 

[Burgey]

I don’t think they would tbh. The rain just necessitated the declaration. Khawaja’s second ton last year cost Aus a clean sweep

Cummins only had bad record in Srilanka but I think in next WTC FTP Australia is touring Srilanka again

I don't think they will

Certainly applies to these guys

Why am I an idiot??? Because I have a different point of view to you? Calling me an idiot based on that says a lot about you. Pretty nasty actually. Let me tell you something - not everyone will sing from the same songsheet as you so you better get used to that.

Some opinions are more informed and considered than others. You appear to exercise a very deliberate ignorance.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Third oldest Test playing nation in cricket and that badge is getting trampled in the mud like this , hurts to see ..What Dean Elgar , his teammates and the management fail to realise is that it's gone far beyond concern now .. You're actively contributing to the death of Test cricket in SA with these results, step down if you have any shred of dignity left .

 

[cricman]

Not watching but is Australia restricting scoring opportunities?

SAF should be going hard at the ball, get to 276 this innings and the game is over.

I just noticed a ad for whey protein with Billy. Stanlake in it but I haven’t seen him in the BBL this year. Is he injured or just suffered the Suisse-style curse?

 

[Bahseph]

So it went Rassie(33) to de Bruyn(30) to Klaasen (31). None of them up for Tests. Seems like re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

 

[Son Of Coco]

I'm sorry the declaration was a **** move by Cummins

Only if you view individual milestones as being more important than trying to win the game.

Been pretty much perma-injured for a couple of years now

Klassas has a much better FC average than the others and seems like he bats a bit lower down the order domestically, still think he's worth persisting with once rickelton comes back and goes to 3.

 

[Burgey]

That’s genuine strife now
