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

[Daemon]

SA don't even need him to be out there tbh. Feels a bit unnecessary.

Can't be outdone by his younger and more inexperienced Australian counterpart who batted through a similar injury.

Targeting Lyon & Sayers here. Good to see.

 

[TT Boy]

Shot.

That Super Sport Series Final they talking about was the last I think and rightly so.

 

[SeamUp]

Did Lyon just say 'no more mate'

 

[GotSpin]

Please...end it

 

[StephenZA]

Just bat 30 min after lunch... piss the Aussies off a bit more.

**** me Lyon is ripping it. And they said the Wanderers doesn’t turn. Not really what aussies want to see right now

 

[OverratedSanity]

Grind them to ****ing dust

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Also Faf want 100

Push the lead to 500 and let Faf and hopefully Lyon get to their centuries.

South Africa are the team with the minimum level of ambition, the maximum fear of a choke; even Bangladesh, if they were in a like position, would have got a move on..

Good grief, theres always one

Really enjoying this chat about where the game of cricket is.

Context for test cricket. Make 2 divisions.
Promote test cricket more
No restrictions for 50 over cricket
Make T20s only domestic

I wish they would make T20 domestic, franchise stuff... every 2/4 years have a WC. Less ODI's as well.

Reckon that Smith is looking at Warne and thinking “you are so full of ****” in this chat about sledging

The W20I is not a bad tournament. The last few iterations have been quite fun IMO. We can't just have that without any other T20Is, though we all know that bilateral T20Is are complete filler.

Couldn't agree more. Been saying it for ages.

I used to love thise T20 Champions Leagues. Teams from all over the world and they all wanted to win.

I'm not a massive T20 person but I do watch the odd domestic game just for the event and not the cricket.

For 50-over cricket. I won't lie I am a fan as it still allows good players to do well but stop 7 match ODI series and repetitive series. I like your idea of making ODI tours seperate to test tours as much as possible too.

I'd love two divisions if all it did was impose a compulsory FTP set of three-match (or more) series on teams within their own division which the ICC bore the costs of, leaving the option for additional Tests outside that across divisions if they wanted. That could be awesome. Most actual proposals for two divisions if anything go the other way though, giving teams less incentive/compulsion to play Tests and having the ICC financially support them less in doing so. It's something that could really be awesome or terrible depending on the implementation and which interest group managed to capture the process.

Making T20s only domestic would be amazing but there's a lot of money to be made from bilateral T20Is so it'd never happen. Even on a performance level I'm sure national teams would want to be able to figure out their team structures before the World T20 actually rolled around too.

I wish we will bat till tea tomorrow just to troll them some more.

Very much this... can you image if we had a 5 ODI's and 3 T20's still left in this tour...
