***Official*** Australia in South Africa 2018

As it stands Aus are going to need to score 280+ in the second innings.

The scorebook says Maharaj hit Lyon for six, and that's all that matters. Better bowler and better batsman. Remember how he smashed him for 3 sixes in his debut series?

Think he has bopped Ali and Ashwin for 6s too.

Can't help himself as we see now

 

[artvandalay]

That was a ridiculous shot.

 

[mr_mister]

Nice shot

More like World's most Pathetic Non Chucking Off Spinner

And again. Really showing Lyon who the alpha spinner is.

 

[vcs]

Maharaj is a great slogger against spinners.

 

[kingkallis]

De Villiers should trust Keshav. He surely can play.

And again. Really showing Lyon who the alpha spinner is.

I should clarify that neither are alpha anything as they have chosen the least alpha thing in cricket.

 

[harsh.ag]

Jesus these two dominated proceedings

 

[Top_Cat]

Holding is right, I feel. This might be the best batting day on this deck so the Aussies should feel like they can score on it. No excuses.

 

[morgieb]

de Villiers is quite good, isn't he.

 

[SeamUp]

So this was ABs 6th test hundred vs Australia. Most for a South African.

Was previously tied on 5 with Barlow, G.Pollock, Kallis and Amla

 

[mr_mister]

When will the band start again

 

[mr_mister]

Out

 

[mr_mister]

Funny how umpires call review retain rule can't be used in conjunction with snicko

 

[mr_mister]

**** this bloke looks like a genuine bat


Put him in the top 6

Fair effort by Barlow and Pollock given the number of tests played in those days, plus missing loads after 1970 of course.

Goddamn Maharaj! Beast!
