**Official** South Africa in Australia 2014

Is Duminy only a minor injury issue? Even though he's a bit of a choker SA are missing him this series.

 

[Daemon]

Decent bowling but this is pretty embarrassing from the lower order

 

[viriya]

Peterson batting like he'd prefer jumping off a bridge to this.

... nvm then

 

[Spark]

Watching Peterson completely miss those every single time was kind of amusing I have to say

 

[viriya]

Warner walking down like the bwoss.. "Why is everyone surprised I hit that?"

 

[Spark]

seriously what is it with international batsmen and not running in a straight line

 

[Daemon]

get de bruyn into the squad as a shock selection. SA need another proper batsmen if they want to do well in the WC.

 

[viriya]

These last 6-7 overs were really hard to watch for a SA fan.. Tbf the bowling has been good.

***y bit of relay fielding at the boundary there. Top bowling at the end there from Starc and Cummins. Faulkner would've been destroyed by de Villiers if he tried all his variations against him imo.

Bit of a poor man's Clint McKay as a death bowler IMO. If he doesn't pick the slower ball then great, but otherwise he looks very, very hittable.

 

[viriya]

Yea with Faulkner it was mostly a case of poor batting but Starc especially looked good at the end - he tends to spray it a bit more near the end from what I remember.

Both Australia and Pakistan are 9/1 atm. Both matches could go either way.

Done for pace and a bit of tail. Looks like the guy who is always onto you quicker than you think.

bailey putting in a good test match audition so far

 

[Burgey]

good to see a big turn out from the citizens of the sporting capital of the world

Careful mate, Jono will be into you with a trademark dose of innocuous indignation.

 

[Burgey]

Maxwell doing squat when something important needs doing. Quelle surprisement.

 

[duffer]

Told colleagues to tell me when Maxwell was in. Heh, first ball I see.

 

[Burgey]

Here's Matt Wade to steady the ship.

 

[duffer]

Faulkner to come in and save Australia.
