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

Padding up the lead first

I wonder if they have a time frame on it. Do they feel 4 sessions without their 3 quicks can be done. Do they feel like chasing leather for too many sessions.

Open the bowling with some AB outswingers

Let morkel bowl a few leggies.

 

[Bolo]

Should have said chuck hey. Haha

Amla to be reported for throwing after taking his maiden 5 for. CSA decide to take a hard stance in cheating and ban him for a year. RSA select Glen Maxwell as his replacement after a detailed study into his training regime.

The only reason why I'd love an SA declaration right now is so that Lyon doesn't get to pad his stats with yet another couple of cheap wickets. He's done it a few times in this series already and it angers me.

Faf killing this game for the neutrals amongst us, and on a Bank Holiday too - that must be worth a few demerit points

Absolutely FAKE news this, delete this post.

You'll be happy to see that he's completed his second century in this match after the daddy hundred in the first innings.

I for one hope SA play out the day.

 

[Spark]

Phenomenal troll batting in this over.

 

[Bolo]

Marsh right now might be the quickest bowler we will see in the rest of this match.

 

[TT Boy]

With no run-up Philander would still be a handful here.

Hopefully Rabada stays on the bench throughout the IPL.

Awful isn't it. On a pitch that's assisting him so much.

He's been given some pretty favourable conditions on this tour and bombed spectacularly. Even managed to get a demerit point.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Hmm the dreaded cricketers football game... claims another 3 victims in 1 game?

 

[Compton]

Lyon never seems to bowl well in favourable conditions. Seems far happier in traditionally bad conditions for spinners.

Was good by his standards in India and Bangladesh

Commentator yesterday was saying that Lyon bowling with a lot of top-spin makes the ball beat the edge every time on this track, whereas Maharaj would bring the natural variation into play more since he undercuts the ball. TBF to Lyon, I saw him attempt the carom ball also yesterday.

It'll be the only time he uses it all year, guaranteed.

****er has had the ball for something like four years and I can only remember him using it once definitively

The highest unsuccessful run chase is 550 (Kiwis v England, 2002, they got within 98 runs of the target).

Edit,

That is ''highest unsuccessful'' by the number of runs the chasing team managed to score (451).

 

[harsh.ag]

Perfect finish would be a Maharaj 8 fer.
