*Official* Australia vs South Africa -2022/3

[Spark]

Yeah surprised they went for that, didn't look right at all to me

 

[Shady Slim]

man jansen is so good

 

[Burgey]

Terrific ball though. Tough angle, left arm around.

Loving how quickly they got the ball tracking up there

This is a really good spell

 

[Shady Slim]

man jansen is so good

surely you just keep jansen on after lunch right? give him the 40 minutes rest and power on

 

[Burgey]

He seems to have reverted to his "old" technique, at least against Jansen

I think he was trying to cover off peg but he seems to have gone back to being more still again as the spell has gone on. Jansen having a terrific match so far

 

[Starfighter]

Very little in the pitch for Maharaj

Yeah in all fairness to Smith, a guy that tall bowling left arm around into you and decking it away is close to as difficult as it gets to face

 

[Skyliner]

Are we going to see Scrappy Doo do his trade-mark leap in his 100th test? Getting closer.

 

[Starfighter]

I thought it was a very poor decision not to open with Jansen today, and giving the ball to Nortje was even stupider. Rabada should have come off sooner too.

If it wasnt for a brain-dead run out SA's position would be dire rather than poor.

 

[Burgey]

Nortje was fine wasn’t he? I don’t know that he delivered anything other than what was expected from him tbh. Rabada seemed to take three overs to get into it before he started bowling well, for whatever reason

 

[Spark]

Geez he's done well to keep out

 

[Starfighter]

While the ball's still moving in the air there's no reason to give it to someone who doesn't swing it and bowls generally short with so-so control when you have a better option.

 

[Burgey]

152 short then 155 then 152 short eh?

Thanks, but no

 

[Spark]

Extremely generous of Rabada and Elgar there

 

[Gob]

Right that's a great knock

 

[ashley bach]

So Warner’s going to race to an aggressive century in his 100th test, do the little jumping fist pump etc

Is there any explanation why, as a society and/or a human race, we would allow this to happen? Surely if this is a functioning democracy we all just agree to cancel the game

Are we going to see Scrappy Doo do his trade-mark leap in his 100th test? Getting closer.

Yup there goes Davey making the leap, nobody will be more delighted than Stuart Broad and the English fans.

 

[Starfighter]

So, how will Rabada jag a random wicket here?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Really good hundred

 

[Spark]

152 short then 155 then 152 short eh?

Thanks, but no

He must have been gassed but surely you give him one more when Warner is four away and on strike

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Well batted Davey
