Chaddy!

As a long suffering Redbacks fan I love seeing him get this well deserved opportunity.

 

[Tom Flint]

Suppose the real question is then, why was habdscombe in the original sqaud anyway?

 

[morgieb]

Drop Usman who has been awfull away from home again.

I think any dropping would look suspicious TSTL given what's happened. Khawaja should've been dropped but the optics would've looked awful.

Bit rough on PC to not get the new ball with Starc out...

 

[NZTailender]

Wish this was being broadcast here

 

[Tom Flint]

Didn't even have a great shield did he?

 

[Shri]

No Maxwell. Last act of defiance by Lehmann?

No way. Sayers is a new ball bowler. Cummins will come on early for Haze anyway and Haze will come back for Sayers, you would imagine.

 

[SeamUp]

If Sayers is good enough at what he does, there won't be many better grounds to debut for his type.

Every time I see Elgar bat, I find myself wondering how he’s got the record that he has as there are so many obvious weaknesses

Must have a very good temperament

 

[Tom Flint]

If starc has a calf strain why is he carrying the drinks?

I think that he is the best opener available for his country in the world.

God damn Burns is looking like a hunk of lumberjack.

I'd let have a hack at my wood

 

[S.Kennedy]

I was wondering who was that hairy bugger?

It’s not a calf strain it’s a stress fracture type injury apparently. Out of the ipl too

 

[GRAB]

Shot from Markram!

Starc's injury looks like something that he has been struggling with for awhile.... there was doubt for him playing at Newlands as well. Everything has probably just caught up with him.

 

[S.Kennedy]

''Stress fracture type injury'' to the ego more like it.
