***Official*** Australia in South Africa + South Africa in Australia 2016/17

[Blocky]

This has been such an impressive innings from Handscomb. Got to 41 so quickly and you hardly even noticed him scoring those runs.


Gives weight to my call pre-series of just sending the Victorian Shield side out to represent Aus.

Weren't you saying how Smith's dismissal would mean the conditions would suddenly become difficult?

 

[Spark]

IIRC that doesn't matter any more as long as you've managed to intially ground the bat.

Nah that's only if you jump up physically to dodge the ball having grounded your foot in the crease.

 

[Furball]

Philander's got not much left in the tank atm. Not good signs with a new ball and 20 overs to go.

This is why you don't need to go out guns blazing in the first couple of sessions. Tire out the bowlers then cash in in the evening session.

Yeah I'm sure they changed that playing condition, but I don't think I've ever seen it enforced that way.

 

[adub]

Oh yeah. That's sweet

 

[GotSpin]

Yeah nice

 

[Spark]

Good stuff.

I don't think anyone said anything even remotely like that

 

[adub]

Good stuff from a young guy clearly in great form.

 

[Starfighter]

Heh. Not the best looking fifty, but a good un. Vicious shot to bring it up with too.

 

[Blocky]

Top 50 on debut, made this look ridiculously easy.

I think Spark said that. Can't recall though.

 

[StephenZA]

Hanscombe... looking impressive. Well done.

Was slightly facetious tbf.

 

[mackembhoy]

Well my initial calls of a huge lead looks spot on.

Roady road

You should be ashamed of this.

No, you're right...

^ Could easily happen at this point.

The way Australia has collapsed in this series, I would put even money on SA getting a first innings lead.

Gonna be another lolapse here. Won't get a first innings lead.

Gonna bet that the pitch suddenly looks incredibly difficult to bat on now.

Lol.... here comes the collapse.

 

[Dan]

Saffas look well and truly cooked. Might be perfect conditions for Maddo if/when the next wicket falls.
