Great effort from Bracken and Lewis tonight, the latter was definately a bit of a surprise. I still don't really feel that Lewis is international class though. He's decently accurate and is better than some other options in ODIs, but he's really not consistent enough, and his fielding and batting is a bit of a concern as well.

Lee was good aside from that one over. Came back well in his 10th.

Pollock was, obviously, quite brilliant. Game is very much alive because of him, though it was Dipper Boetenar (as Tony Greig calls him) that carried the innings.

Who saw Lee getting BELTED coming?

To be fair, it was just the one over, and Pollock played very well. It wasn't like Lee bowled rank half-volleys or bouncers for 5 wides like he has in the past at the death. His final over was quality.

Why the **** did Telemachus run? He didn't even hit the ball.

a) He wanted Pollock on strike
b) if Lee missed it would have been a bye

They both made the right decision tbh, no point preserving your wicket on the second last and last balls.

Didn’t like fat boy Lewis giving jibe to Hendrik Human because he tried to sweep him, your a Mickey Mouse medium pacer of course he should try and sweep you, then he should reverse sweep you just for fun next ball.

Though credit to Lewis he did bowl rather well after his initial spell.

I expected more from the best bowler in the world.

Telemachus > the Australian middle order.

Got a game on are hands here, Telemachus has been immense for South Africa the game was nearly over for South Africa with Kaitch's and Gilchrist’s early onslaught but some how there have got back into it.

 

[TT Boy]

Still fancy Australia, Bracken and Clark can hold a bat and are above the ball rate but can Lewis bat?

Nope, he can't.
