*Official* Australia vs South Africa -2022/3

[Daemon]

Getting to the point where Jansen is the first pick when it comes to choosing the SA attack. He really is quite good and I hope he isn’t ruined by injuries/LO.

 

[Burgey]

Received a lovely thank you message from Anthony yesterday. Lovely bloke and very down to earth. Gilly’s discomfiture speaks volumes. Must be a **** deep down.

Latest news- starc now ruled out of scg, with lance Morris(cover for starc) likely to debut.

They're certainly better credentialed but I haven't been especially impressed in this game except for Jansen tbh. This is decent from Ngidi, but Rabada and Nortje this morning were poor

Was surprised Rabada got as much swing as he did this morning. Ngidi getting decent shape as well

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Jack Bleach?

Yeah, shape and decent nip away from the right hander. The main reason why I'm not very impressed; there really is enough there if you're accurate and disciplined but SA have been kind of scattergun and incapable of building up pressure (though not as dreadful as yesterday afternoon)

 

[Spark]

Put that shot away until lunch Steve ta

play that one though

 

[morgieb]

That's more like it.

 

[Spark]

Aerial but definitely never getting caught given how the fielder was actively trying to get away from the ball

If Starc is unable to bowl second dig here, I expect Aus to bat for ages rather than contemplate a declaration.

Am I right in saying if Aus win this series 2-0 or 3-0 they can’t miss the WTC final?

It's Day 2 tbf. If they bat through to a standard declaration time then they'll have a gargantuan score

 

[morgieb]

Legit impressed that Albo can actually have a conversation about cricket without it sounding awkward as hell.

Article confirms he is able to bowl in 2nd innings if required, will be with great difficulty (finger is strapped)

Yep Aus 2-0 is enough for wtc final.

I think Aus best to keep batting as long as possible as one bowler short

If I was SA I’d have a bitch about the strapping ripping up the ball.

 

[ashley bach]

There won't be any declaration, pretty certain about that.

It's on his right hand no?

 

[halba]

It's on his right hand no?

Bowling hand as confirmed by article. Also Cricinfo confirmed left hand. The middle digit. Long recovery time.

Even Zampa and other spinners is in the frame for a debut, scg is a raging turner in Sheffield shield last.

 

[Starfighter]

That sure swung sharply

 

[Spark]

That's hit him well outside off imo

 

[Burgey]

Close if pad first but outside line I think
