*Official* Match #10 — Australia Vs South Africa Oct 12th, Lucknow

[Test fan]

It's a relaid surface. So this is another high scoring match

That's not what Hayden is predicting, reckon it's going to be tacky and not easy. Probably a good toss to win, although lack of spin options could be an issue.

 

[King Kane]

Should hopefully be a good game, pressure on the Aussies, if they lose this they aren't out of it but it will make it tough for them to make the semis.

 

[StephenZA]

That's a long... long tail from SA.

 

[Qlder]

Carey and Green replaced by Inglis and Stoinis. Blah either way but hope Inglis steps up to get rid of Carey from all white ball cricket

 

[straw man]

Good start to the coverage again with the picture freezing during the bowler's run-up first ball

 

[Starfighter]

Umm, I think just a regular portrait is better than that ridiculous pose.

It's going to be great when we get to the semi finals of this world cup sometime in the winter of 2025.

I'm surprised Maharaj averages only 12 with the bat in ODI cricket. I thought he was a passable batsman and would be fine where he's listed at 8 today, but that's a terrible average.

edit: although 32 matches he's only batted 15 times, so perhaps it's too few innings to draw conclusions.

Cracking ball from Starc. The **** playing an expansive drive with his flange.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Starc to get Bavuma through the gate.

Like your posts.

And your face

With Jansen/Maharaj and Coetzee at 7/8/9 you have 3 number 8s... dropping Coetzee for a number 11 in Shamsi just makes it that little bit longer. Unless you believe in the Rabada batting myth!

 

[Burgey]

I don’t mind Carey missing for the the bootlicker here. He’s been in bad form for a while and Inglis is the sort of bloke whose game is more likely to give us some sort of score at a rate of 120 or so in the middle order if the match situation calls for it

Though Carey would have caught that

 

[Ashes81]

I know Lyon hasn't played ODI in recent times but he's a quality spinner and with The Aussies struggling in the spin department, should he not have been in the frame.

According to the knowledgable Australian netizens that frequent many social media sites, Cummins (or Captain Carbon) is responsible for us not having a front sponsor on our shirts.

Not sure how he managed to get the front sponsor removed from every teams' shirt, but I am sure the daft ***** must be right.

 

[King Kane]

A slow start for SA but at least they haven't lost any wickets yet.

They can make up for a slow start at the back end with wickets in hand.
