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

Imagine if it was Precam? Would be such a glorious return.

Haha it was sunilreddy, back from his recent banishment for a brief second stint.

 

[fredfertang]

In fairness they have played a lot of cricket in the last few months and are probably running on empty. Been an unchanged attack for ages.

There's no need to start being fair to Australians - what sort of Yorkshireman are you?

 

[SeamUp]

Faf's form is weird at the moment. Temba and QdK need to just provide good support for AB.

It's like the Australian team wants to troll Burgey by giving more ammunition to *****.

 

[SeamUp]

Warner for captaincy

It's kind of like Hamla's. Get's in often enough, but finding a way to get out each time he gets going...

Hangs head in shame.

Being serious though I am amazed they have all stayed fit playing this many games.

 

[harsh.ag]

Yeah it looks like they called back Bavuma too early.

 

[Chrish]

Tbh I am not really impressed with Faf's batting either. He has that brilliant captain thing going on for him but not sure how long he can keep riding on that.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

They will want another 80 or so here minimum I would imagine. The way the Saffer middle order lose quick wickets all the time is beginning to be a serious issue. Sorted the top out and now have problems elsewhere.

He played well in the Indian series before the untimely injury.
He needs to do better but I would certainly be more critical of bavuma/de bruyn and qdk at this stage.

Beautiful

Lyon going at 40 per scalp in the series despite a few cheap wickets. Hopefully he doesn't get his 300 until the next one.

 

[Stefan9]

Looking more like the qdk we love in this innings.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Once again that rubbish day 1 precedent ends play. God I ****ing hate it when the umpires do this.

 

[weldone]

Lehmann is the ring leader of the cheaters.

 

[StephenZA]

The worst part of this whole ball tampering thing, is the way Lehmann and co then tried to cover it up... getting Bancroft lying to the umpires like that was just truly stupid. I can see captain and coach getting into trouble on this one as well.

 

[Stefan9]

Candice Warner tried to take on Michael Vaughan and lost badly...

Candice Warner climbs into Michael Vaughan

 

[Top_Cat]

No way is Bancroft doing this of his own accord. Jesus Christ.

tbh it would be pretty **** if bancroft, a newbie, copped it instead of the ones who told him to do whatever
