*Official* Match #10 — Australia Vs South Africa Oct 12th, Lucknow

[Tom Flint]

Let's put it this way: You won't feel confident with Jansen walking in at 70-5.

I don't think I'd ever be confident with my team 70-5

 

[Socerer 01]

Jansen's a bit of an odd case. The general feeling would be that he's one position too high at 7, and yet it seems to be working? He's got an average of 37 and a strike rate of 121, although it's only from 10 matches and that's a bit too small a sample size to make a proper assessment.

he passes the eye test also

This is the worst Aussie team in years

Point noted, but a decent seven could be the difference between a fighting score and a collapse.

 

[danzydab]

quinton has been brilliant

 

[loterry1994]

They have to get Zampa on before Maxwell he can go for runs but he’ll get more wickets

 

[Shady Slim]

interesting selections! just kidding, they suck, i hope we get pummeled lmao

Jansen is an underrated batsman, he looks a bit ungainly but he can still be quite effective.

Jarrod Kimber described him as a giant praying mantis, which is a description I'd go along with.

I think South Africa are trying a bit too hard to turn him into an all-rounder, but there is at least something there to work with. And I guess he's benefitted from having a very strong top six ahead of him, which gives him a bit of a licence to swing at everything.

I think you can get away with it for sure in T20s and maybe in ODIs. I hate when he is at 7 in a Test.

 

[loterry1994]

Man inglis already dropped like 5 behind the stumps

 

[Burgey]

bootlicker confirming my observations about his keeping thus far. Good signs for Zampa that over though.

lol his gloves didn’t even move towards the ball there. Was a tough one but he wasn’t in the same postcode

Is this much different to 2019 though

immediate vindication

 

[ashley bach]

Bootlicker gives up four byes and laughs about it. Tory ****

Now he's laughing at a possible dropped catch, what a dickhead

Agreed. He's definitely not a test 7.

 

[King Kane]

Inglis dropping a chance and then having a laugh about it.

What happened to the old ruthless Aussies that hated to lose? These guys don't seem to give a ****.

 

[Shady Slim]

i hate how it's now powerplay one, powerplay two and powerplay three
if it's all powerplay then it's never powerplay

 

[Molehill]

They got 4 years older - which for quite a few means mid 30's.

They're also not alone with that, England are similar.

 

[Molehill]

i hate how it's now powerplay one, powerplay two and powerplay three
if it's all powerplay then it's never powerplay

And then if you're slow with your over rate and have to bring a fielder back in, does Powerplay 3 return to Powerplay 2?

I agree the bowlers already have it harder on flatter pitches. Then you got wides and free hits that aren’t a big margin as well as over rate penalties now . I’d take out the last 10 overs power play for sure
