[Thala_0710]

[Johan]

15-11 to the Aussies with 3 drawn series

15-12 by the end of the year.

 

[halba]

To be fair aus only real chance was to post say 200 and have Scotty B in their lineup. they didnt even include him. Hes the guy that can take 6 for not much.

 

[Ali TT]

What the absolute **** is with Matt Hayden and that hat?

 

[Johan]

dumb people would see this and think England is flat smh

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

US$ 3.6 million for winner and US$ 2.1 million for loser of this test and England don't value the competition...are they morons lol

England have hosted every WTC final to date, you would think you'd want to be there if you were England since you're hosting it !

 

[chris.hinton]

@Burgey is getting worried. Ashes is coming and its going back with England

 

[Bahseph]

Mulder is definitely compensating for Ngidi not being at his best. I shudder to think how this would unit would function without that fourth seamer.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Mulder played a crucial in that session, dried up the runs and kept one end quiet , Rabada was magnificent up front..Marco with that awkward angle and bounce will always be in any game if he remains focused.

It was good captaincy from Bavuma , rotated the seamers well

 

[Johan]

They did not look at all comfortable with Mulder, neither Labuschagne nor Smith.

Some trivia, Bradman has 551 runs at Lords, Smith on 26* now also has 551 runs

That puts him =3rd on the most runs list for non-England bats at Lords with Sobers having 571 and Warren Bardsley 575 (has held record since 1926)

Really missed Nortje, a genuine fast and nasty..
Think Gerald Coetzee could have done a job aswell with his express pace, Ngidi probably knows he has to step up soon , lots of competition in the fast bowling department.

 

[kykweer.proteas]

Not a bad start for us.

He's got 15 more test 's than our.whole team combined.Class player

 

[kykweer.proteas]

I don't think this south african attack get enough game time. Rabada, Jansen, keshav with variety from ngidi and Mulder is up there with the best sa attacks.

Heck Mulder is a part timer averaging less than 26

All of the bowlers average less than 30 per wicket.

 

[Qlder]

Smith says welcome back to Rabada with 11 off the over

 

[morgieb]

Smith is legit batting on a different wicket to everyone else.

 

[Coronis]

Jansen looking real problematic

 

[morgieb]

Plumb if it was Smith, but Webster being 6'6" will help.
